Nile University courses
1. Medicine and Surgery — N3,575,000 per semester
Medicine and Surgery is the most expensive programme at Nile University, with students expected to pay N3,575,000 every semester. The programme attracts the highest fee by a considerable margin, sitting well above the other courses on this list.
2. Law — N2,275,000 per semester
Law comes in as the second most expensive course at the university, with a semester fee of N2,275,000. For students who aspire to a legal career and wish to study at a private institution, this is a significant financial commitment to factor in from the outset.
3. Public Health — N2,000,000 per semester
Public Health rounds out the list at exactly N2,000,000 per semester, just clearing the threshold. While it is the most affordable of the three, it remains a substantial amount for most Nigerian families to budget for each semester.
What prospective Nile University students should know
These figures represent the approved fees per semester, meaning students enrolled in any of these three programmes would be expected to pay this amount at least twice per academic session. For Medicine and Surgery in particular, where the programme spans several years, the total cost of completing the degree would run into tens of millions of naira.
