Abuja—The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved 13 new degree programmes across Nigerian universities as part of efforts to modernise higher education and align it with global standards.
The newly approved courses include Artificial Intelligence, Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Science, Geomatics Engineering, Telecommunication Science, Community Health Science, Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Intelligence & Security Studies, Human Kinetics (Sport Management), Islamic Economics & Finance, Parasitology & Entomology, Cooperative Economics & Management, and Christian Education.
According to the NUC, the programmes fall under the new Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) policy and will commence once universities successfully complete resource verification.
The move is designed to equip graduates with 21st-century skills, enhance their employability, and strengthen Nigeria’s global competitiveness in science, technology, and sustainable development.
