Brief History of UNIPORT
The University of Port Harcourt was established in 1975 as a federal university located in Rivers State, Nigeria. The institution started as a university college before becoming fully independent in 1977.
Over the years, UNIPORT has grown into one of Nigeria’s most respected federal universities, known for academic excellence, research, and quality learning across different fields including sciences, engineering, social sciences, management sciences, law, and health-related courses.
Thousands of candidates apply for admission into UNIPORT every year, making it one of the most competitive universities in the country.
Before applying, candidates are advised to check the approved cut-off mark for their preferred course to know their admission chances.
