Browse this webpage for the details information about the Civil Engineering at Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) and the entry requirements, including the both JAMB/UTME and O'Level subjects combinations.
FUTA Department of Civil Engineering is established to fulfill the country vision and target of industrialization and self reliance in the area of building, construction and environmental development by training and graduating highly skill and talented students who will form part of local engineers in making this development realistic.
Therefore the programme is designed to conform with National University Commission (NUC) Benchmark for Academic Standard (BMAS) and to allow students to takes courses that will give them basic understanding of the Civil Engineering in the their early years of studying the programme while they can later focus on any one of the available area of specialization toward their final years.
By the time students graduated from the programme, they must have been able, among many other things, to acquire technical skill, knowledge and design ability which they can work on for the development of Civil Engineering ssecor and the country at large.
But to graduate from studying the programme don't come cheap. It requires each of the students who were admitted through JAMB to complete 207 units while those who were granted admission through direct entry to complete 164 units and the students must participate and complete all field projects, laboratory practical works and industrial attachment.
Entry Requirements
Application to study Civil Engineering as a programme at FUTA is.process in two different ways and they are as:- JAMB/UTME Candidates and
- Direct Entry Candidates
JAMB/UTME Candidates
Application
as a JAMB/UTME candidate eligible an applicant admission to 100 level
of the Civil Engineering programme at FUTA. The applicant must have
credit passes in five (5) subjects from either one or two of these
examination:

- Chemistry and one other science subject, probably
- Biology
- Technical Drawing
- Further Mathematics
- Agricultural Science
These subjects combinations must not be more than at two sittings.
JAMB/UTME
The
applicant must also write Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) and make the required cut off mark.
Jamb/UTME subjects
combination are:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry and
- English Language
Federal University of Technology Akure Post UTME
After
passing JAMB/UTME, the student must also write FUTA post UTME, making
the cut off mark for the Department of Civil Engineering.
Pre Degree Engineering Programmes
FUTA
Pre-degree programme is accepted to 100 level of the Civil Engineering. A student who have problem gaining admission through JAMB
can take this route provide he/she satisfy O'Level minimum entry
requirements.
Direct Entry Candidates
Students can process admission to study Civil Engineering at FUTA with the following qualifications
- General Certificate of Education, Advance Level (GCE A/L): minimum grade C in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry to be admitted to 200 level
- National Diploma (ND): Minimum of Upper Credits in Civil Engineering or other relevant engineering programme from government approved tertiary institutions to be considered for admission to 200 level.
- Higher National Diploma: holders of HND with Upper Credit may be considered for 300 level
Civil Engineering is a minimum of 5 years and maximum of 7 years programme
leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering (Honour) in Civil Engineering.
The programme is approved by National University
Commission (NUC) and accredited by the Council for the Regulation of
Engineering in Nigeria (COREN)
