Fountain University, a private institution in Osun State, has published its approved 2026/2027 academic session school fees for three undergraduate programmes: Law, Cybersecurity, and Biochemistry and Nutrition. The fee schedule, released for fresh students, shows significant variation across the disciplines, with Law carrying the highest cost at N2,127,125.
Law Programme Fees: Highest Among the Three
Incoming Law students at Fountain University will pay N2,127,125 for the 2026/2027 session. This amount places Law well above the other two programmes, reflecting the premium often associated with legal education in private Nigerian universities. The figure applies specifically to fresh students entering the Law programme.
The university's publication did not include additional charges beyond the listed tuition amounts, and prospective students are advised to verify any extra costs directly with the institution before making enrolment decisions.
Cybersecurity and Biochemistry Fees Compared
For the Cybersecurity programme, fresh students will pay N806,256 for the 2026/2027 academic session. This represents a significantly lower financial commitment than Law, though it still reflects the costs typical of technology-focused courses in private universities.
Biochemistry and Nutrition emerges as the most affordable of the three programmes, with approved fees set at N638,880 for the same session. The course sits at the lower end of the fee spectrum among the options published by the university, making it a more accessible choice for incoming students.
Context: Other Private University Fees
The release comes amid similar announcements from other private institutions. Legit.ng recently reported that Redeemer's University had announced its approved school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, covering Law, Biochemistry, and Civil Engineering. That fee schedule, published online, covered students from the 200 level, while the institution did not provide the 100-level fees in the listing.
For Fountain University, the published figures apply specifically to fresh students, and prospective applicants are encouraged to confirm any additional charges directly with the institution before making enrolment decisions. The university's fee schedule provides a clear baseline for students planning their finances for the upcoming academic year.
