Rivers State University (RSU) is expected to offer special courses in areas such as Marine Engineering, Environmental Management, Public Health, Medical Laboratory Science, Computer Engineering, Surveying & Geomatics, and Forestry & Wildlife Management. These programmes are considered “special” because they require specific academic backgrounds and offer specialised professional training.

Applicants must possess a minimum of five (5) O’Level credits, including English Language, Mathematics, and relevant science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).

Some courses may require additional screening or documentation.
How do I apply for admission into RSU special courses for the 2026/2027 academic session?
To apply, candidates should visit the RSU admission portal during the application period and register for the Post-UTME screening.

After submission, applicants must monitor the portal for updates on exam dates, screening outcomes, and admission lists.
Does RSU accept change of course requests into special programmes?
