American Open University, Nigeria (A-Global) has announced the start of admissions for the 2025/2026 academic session, aiming to expand access to technology-driven higher education as demand for digital skills continues to grow across Nigeria and West Africa.
The university stated that applications are open for Bachelor of Science, top-up, and degree conversion programmes designed for students and professionals seeking qualifications that match the evolving labour market. The announcement comes as employers increasingly focus on skills in data analysis, cybersecurity, software development, and digital management.
According to the institution, eligibility covers direct entry and transfer students with NCE, ND, and NID qualifications. It also includes Higher National Diploma holders, third-class degree holders, and chartered professionals seeking to enhance their academic profiles. The university added that working professionals aiming to switch to technology-related fields can also apply.
Programmes available for the academic year span technology and business disciplines. Courses include Data Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and Information Technology, alongside Business Administration, Business Information Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Public Administration. The university explained that these programmes integrate digital tools and data-driven approaches increasingly needed in both public and private sectors.
“American Open University’s admission process includes the submission of a statement of purpose and a digital skills assessment,” the institution said, adding that this reflects its commitment to blended and technology-supported learning models in higher education. Candidates who fall short of the required digital proficiency may undergo preparatory training before full enrolment.
The university noted that applications are being received through its online portal. It added that the 2025/2026 admission exercise forms part of a broader effort to address Nigeria’s digital skills gap and meet the changing demands of the modern workforce.
