Nursing science fees

Nursing Science attracts considerably higher fees across all categories. National students pay ₦2,509,945.00, making it more than ₦600,000 costlier than Medical Laboratory Science for domestic students.

In both programmes, international students of African descent pay more than twice the dollar amount charged to foreign nationals, a pricing structure that reverses the pattern typically seen in many international institutions where citizens of the host continent pay less.

The fee differences between the two health science programmes reflect the varying resource demands and training costs associated with each discipline. Nursing Science, which involves more intensive clinical training and a broader curriculum, commands the higher rate at every student level.

Prospective students of Covenant University and their families are advised to confirm the current fee schedule directly with the university's admissions office, as figures may be subject to revision ahead of each academic session.
