The OAUTHC School of Nursing admission form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out and applications are currently open through the official OAUTHC portal at oauthc.gov.ng. The Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, is inviting suitably qualified candidates to apply for its National Diploma and Higher National Diploma Nursing programmes. The OAUTHC School of Nursing is one of the few nursing training institutions in Nigeria that offers candidates a dual-campus option, with training available at both the Ife Hospital Unit in Ile-Ife and the Wesley Guild Hospital campus in Ilesa, Osun State.

Candidates who scored a minimum of 180 in the 2026 JAMB UTME and chose either OAUTHC campus as their first choice institution are eligible to apply. If you did not initially select OAUTHC, you can still change your institution on the JAMB portal and proceed. This guide covers the complete requirements, all available programmes, fees, and the step-by-step application process for the OAUTHC School of Nursing 2026/2027 admission cycle.

About the OAUTHC School of Nursing

The OAUTHC School of Nursing operates under the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, one of the most respected federal teaching hospital systems in Nigeria. Established in Ile-Ife, Osun State, OAUTHC has been at the forefront of clinical training, medical education, and healthcare delivery in the South West since its founding decades ago.

The OAUTHC School of Nursing is accredited by both the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to run ND and HND programmes in Nursing. This dual accreditation places the OAUTHC School of Nursing in the same category as LASCON Igando and LUTH CONS as one of the fully recognised nursing training institutions operating the modern ND/HND non-terminal model in the South West.

What distinguishes the OAUTHC School of Nursing from most other standalone nursing colleges in the region is its two-campus clinical training structure. The Ife Hospital Unit in Ile-Ife and the Wesley Guild Hospital in Ilesa represent two distinct hospital environments, giving the OAUTHC School of Nursing a broader clinical reach than single-campus institutions.

All Available Programmes at OAUTHC for 2026/2027

The OAUTHC School of Nursing is not the only programme open at OAUTHC for this cycle. Here is the complete list of nursing and midwifery programmes currently accepting applications.

ND and HND Nursing (College of Nursing Sciences) This is the core general nursing programme. It runs at both the Ife Hospital Unit and the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa. Admission is through JAMB with a minimum score of 180. Application fee: N15,000.

Post Basic Midwifery Programme An 18-month specialist programme for qualified Registered Nurses seeking NMCN registration as Registered Midwives. Applicants must already hold a valid NMCN RN licence. Application fee: N10,000, obtainable through the Remita platform on the OAUTHC website.

Post Basic Perioperative Nursing A 12-month specialist programme commencing in November 2025. Designed for Registered Nurses who want to specialise in operating theatre nursing, surgical care, and perioperative patient management. Application fee: N10,000 via Remita.

For the OAUTHC School of Nursing ND/HND programme, the total fee payable during application is N15,000, plus a separate Post UTME screening fee of N2,000 for candidates who qualify for the CBT screening stage.

Eligibility Requirements for the OAUTHC School of Nursing

For ND Nursing (General Nursing Programme)

JAMB Requirement You must have sat for the 2026 JAMB UTME and scored a minimum of 180. The OAUTHC School of Nursing sets a higher JAMB threshold than most standalone nursing colleges in Nigeria, which typically accept scores from 100 to 150. The 180 cut-off reflects the competitive demand for places at this institution.

You must have chosen OAUTHC College of Nursing Sciences, Ife Hospital Unit, Ile-Ife or Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa as your first choice institution on JAMB. Candidates who did not originally select OAUTHC must change their first choice institution on the JAMB portal before applying.

O’Level Requirements You must possess five credit passes in the following subjects obtained in not more than two sittings from WAEC or NECO:

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology

NABTEB results are accepted, but there is a strict condition: candidates presenting NABTEB results cannot combine them with results from any other examining body. Your NABTEB result must be a standalone, single-sitting result covering all five required credit passes on its own.

O’Level results must be uploaded on JAMB CAPS before you attempt the OAUTHC School of Nursing application portal.

For Post Basic Programmes

Applicants must be Registered Nurses with current, valid NMCN registration. A practising licence is a mandatory requirement for both the Midwifery and Perioperative Nursing post-basic programmes.

OAUTHC School of Nursing: Ife Hospital Unit vs Wesley Guild Hospital Ilesa

This is an important detail that many candidates do not fully understand before applying to the OAUTHC School of Nursing. Here is how the two campuses compare.

The critical detail here is this: you cannot choose which campus you will train at. Admitted students are posted to either the Ife Hospital Unit or Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa by OAUTHC management after admission. When you apply, you choose OAUTHC as your institution. The campus posting is determined by the institution, not by the applicant.

Prepare financially and logistically to be posted to either campus before you apply to the OAUTHC School of Nursing. Candidates who are only willing to attend one specific campus and not the other should factor this into their decision before paying the N15,000 non-refundable application fee.

Application Fees: What You Pay and When

The OAUTHC School of Nursing 2026/2027 application involves two separate payments made at different stages.

Stage 1: Application Portal Fee N15,000, payable through the Remita platform on the OAUTHC website at oauthc.gov.ng. This fee covers your application form and gives you access to the online admission portal. It is non-refundable.

Stage 2: Post UTME Screening Fee N2,000, payable separately after you have been shortlisted for the CBT screening examination. This fee is only applicable to candidates who meet the JAMB and O’Level requirements and are invited to sit the screening. You do not pay this until you are called up for the CBT exercise.

Total application cost if you proceed to screening: N17,000.

All payments are made through the official OAUTHC Remita platform. Do not pay to any individual, agent, or third-party account. The OAUTHC School of Nursing has repeatedly issued public warnings that no individual or agent has been authorised to sell admission forms on its behalf. Any contact requesting payment outside the official portal is not authorised by OAUTHC.

What the CBT Screening at OAUTHC Involves

The OAUTHC School of Nursing CBT Post UTME screening is a computer-based examination conducted at specified venues. Based on previous cycles, the CBT screening has been conducted across two consecutive days to accommodate the volume of qualified applicants.

The examination tests candidates on the same five subjects required for O’Level eligibility. Questions are drawn from secondary school curriculum content across English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The standard is competitive, reflecting the high demand for places at this institution.

Past questions from previous OAUTHC nursing school screening exercises are available and worth sourcing before your CBT date. Candidates who prepare specifically for the CBT format, particularly those who are not accustomed to computer-based examinations, consistently perform better than unprepared applicants.

Career Outlook After the OAUTHC School of Nursing Programme

Graduates of the OAUTHC School of Nursing complete both the school’s own Final Qualifying Examination and the NMCN national qualifying examination. Passing both results in NMCN registration as a Registered Nurse.

The OAUTHC name on a nursing certificate is one of the strongest in the South West. OAUTHC-trained nurses are actively recruited by federal and state hospitals across Nigeria, specialist private clinics in Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan, and international healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and beyond.

For graduates who want to deepen their specialisation, Post Basic Midwifery and Perioperative Nursing programmes are available within the same OAUTHC institution. That continuity, training through basic nursing then specialising at the same facility, is a career progression structure that very few standalone nursing colleges in Nigeria can offer.
