As part of the eligibility criteria prospective candidates must have obtained 200 and above in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), choose FUMMSA as their first-choice institution while candidates must meet the age requirement; at least 16 years old on or before 30 September 2026.
The information states further that candidates must possess a minimum of five (5) credit passes in the relevant O’Level subjects namely: Biology, Chemistry, English Language, Mathematics and Physics.
Also, the statement notes that candidates seeking admission into Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, Dental Surgery, Optometry and Physiotherapy must obtain credit passes in all the five relevant O’Level subjects at one sitting.
“For all other programmes, O’Level results obtained in a maximum of two sittings are acceptable.
“Only results from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) will be accepted”, the statement clearly stated.
According to the statement signed by the school registrar, “candidates who satisfy the above eligibility criteria are qualified to apply for the FUMMSA Post-UTME screening exercise.”
