Gombe State University (GOMSU) has officially received approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to establish the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at its Dukku Campus. This milestone marks a major expansion for the institution, reinforcing its commitment to academic excellence and broadening its scope to accommodate students passionate about environmental and structural development.
With this approval, the university has introduced four new undergraduate degree programs under the faculty: BSc Architecture, BSc Building, BSc Estate Management, and BSc Quantity Surveying. These programs are designed to equip students with in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in the built environment, construction, and real estate industries.
The establishment of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences aligns with the growing demand for professionals in urban planning, infrastructure development, and sustainable building practices. By offering these programs, GOMSU aims to train future architects, builders, estate managers, and quantity surveyors who will contribute to the economic and infrastructural growth of Nigeria and beyond.
Prospective students who selected Gombe State University as their first choice in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and have attained the required cut-off marks for admission are encouraged to seize this opportunity. Those interested in these newly introduced programs can apply for a change of course through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to be considered for admission into the faculty.
University authorities have advised applicants to carefully review the admission requirements and ensure they meet the necessary academic qualifications, including relevant O’Level subject combinations, before proceeding with their applications. The introduction of these programs reflects the university’s dedication to fostering innovation and professional excellence in environmental sciences and related fields.
To streamline the admission process, GOMSU will provide further details regarding the application procedure, deadlines, and other requirements on its official website and at the university’s admissions office. Interested candidates are urged to stay updated with official announcements to avoid missing key deadlines.
The approval and introduction of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences is expected to boost academic diversity at GOMSU while creating career pathways for students interested in shaping Nigeria’s infrastructural landscape. With a strong focus on research, technological advancement, and sustainable development, the university is set to become a leading hub for training skilled professionals in environmental sciences.
As the 2024/2025 academic session approaches, this latest development presents a unique opportunity for students to explore new frontiers in education and contribute to the future of sustainable urban development in Nigeria.
