Bowen University's most expensive course
The programme in question is Medicine and Surgery, specifically the Pre-Clinical stage, which carries an academic fee of ₦4,423,520.0*.
This figure represents the tuition cost for the pre-clinical phase of the degree, making it the single most expensive course available at the university. For many Nigerian families navigating economic hardship, raising over four million naira in tuition alone is a substantial undertaking.
What prospective students should know
Bowen University's Medicine and Surgery programme is among the most sought-after courses in Nigerian private universities. The institution, owned by the Nigerian Baptist Convention, is known for its strict academic and moral standards, which continue to attract students from across the country despite the costs involved.
Prospective students and their guardians are advised to factor this fee into their financial planning ahead of any application or admission process, as the amount listed covers academic fees for the pre-clinical stage only.
