Brief History
Postgraduate studies were commenced in the Faculty of Science in 1990 when two candidates were admitted for the Master of Science degree programme in the Department of Biological Sciences.

Aims and Objectives
The Postgraduate School was established to coordinate all postgraduate activities in the University within the existing regulations approved by the University Senate. The objective of the School is to respond positively to the training of postgraduate students for the much needed high level manpower in the country. This includes the training of students to increase the inadequate number of University teaching staff. The school encourages multidisciplinary research and strives to achieve high standard of research training capability.

Achievements and Vision
The presence of the Postgraduate School in the University of Ado Ekiti has raised the awareness of the staff and students within and outside the University in pursuing higher degrees. Significant number of students complete their programmes within the minimum stipulated time and the Postgraduate School processes the results of such students with dispatch to the Senate for final approval. Letters of award are issued promptly and thereafter transcripts are produced with dispatch.

This University has awarded a total of over five hundred and fifty (550) Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D. degrees and over five thousand (5000) Masters degrees and Postgraduate diplomas. Most of these graduates are employed in various arms of the public and private sectors within and outside the country. In this way, the Postgraduate School continues to contribute to the staff development of the University which makes for significant saving university funds in training within and outside the country, Nigeria. Feedbacks from graduates showed sense of pride and gratitude for the excellent trainings received at Ado Ekiti, which makes them to be real assets to the Educational System and offer employers. It is envisaged that the population of Postgraduate students will continue to increase and the University will be well-equipped in many aspects of her programmes to give the best training with more funding coming from within and without the University, especially the Federal Government of Nigeria and Industry.
