Institutional Overview

College of Postgraduate Studies Profile

1.1 The Beginnings of the College

The College of Postgraduate Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (CPGS NAU) has its remote beginning in the 1981/82 academic year of the defunct Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH). When the present Anambra State was created in 1991, the two campuses of the then ASUTECH at Awka and Nnewi were constituted, by the Anambra State Edict No. 5 of 1991 into Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The Postgraduate programmes in the campuses thus emerged as the Nnamdi Azikiwe University School of Postgraduate Studies.

Consistent with the university’s growth, the school also witnessed tremendous growth with a corresponding increase in its oversight functions. At the 205th meeting of the Senate held on 31st March 2021, the transformation to a college was ratified.
