UNIUYO Certificate & Diploma Admission Form 2025/2026


UNIUYO has opened admissions for its 2025/2026 certificate and diploma programmes. This post breaks down what courses are available, the entry requirements, and how to apply. If you’ve been eyeing a short-term programme to boost your skills or get a foot in the university door, here’s your chance.



The University of Uyo has quietly dropped something again — this time, it’s not a full degree, but it might just be what you need to start or restart. Their Certificate and Diploma Programmes for the 2025/2026 session are now open, and the form is up for grabs.

Now, if you’ve ever thought, “Four years is too long,” or “Let me just start small,” these one- and two-year options might be calling your name.


So, what’s the difference between certificate and diploma?

Quick version:Certificate: 1-year course, entry-level, teaches you practical stuff.
Diploma: 2 years, deeper content, can sometimes land you direct entry into a degree course later.

Both can help you build something solid — a career step, a fresh skill, or even just confidence that you can do this school thing.
What can you study?

UNIUYO didn’t hold back. The list’s long, and honestly, kind of refreshing.

It’s a buffet of options. Whether you want to work in media, politics, hospitality, or even climate stuff, there’s a track waiting.
What are the entry requirements?

You don’t need a miracle. Just the basics.For Certificate: At least 3 credits (English must be one) in WAEC, NECO, GCE or anything equivalent.
For Diploma: You’ll need 4 credits and above, again including English and Maths. Some courses have extra subject needs. Religious Studies has its own checklist, for example.

If you’re aiming to eventually slide into a degree course, doing well here can open that door. Direct Entry after diploma? Yes, it’s possible.

Not everyone needs to start with a B.Sc. Sometimes, a one-year certificate could be the beginning of something bigger. Or it could just teach you French. Which isn’t bad either.
