Top Universities Offering Theatre/Performing Arts in Nigeria

Drama Session

Very lately, candidates seeking admissions into universities in Nigeria are going for Performing Arts, Theatre Art, Drama, or Dramatic Arts. Hence, there is a need to know the list of universities officially offering the course.

Knowing this will help them make the right choices during the JAMB UTME/DE registrations. Some want to consider this course during the change of institution and courses as well.

In this post, I will not only be listing the names of the universities that are offering theatre/performing Arts but will also their addresses. A few links will also be included that will take you to dedicated posts on the SSCE and UTME subject requirements for its 100-level admissions as well as A'level, NCE, OND, HND, or BSC courses/grades required for the 200-level admissions.

Before we dive into it, be informed that the word Drama, Theatre, Performing and Dramatic Arts can be used interchangeably because they literally mean the same.

Other variations while checking for this course in JAMB include:

1. Theatre And Film Studies
2. Theatre And Media Arts
3. Theatre And Performing Arts
4. Theatre Arts
5. Film Arts

Also, everything to be covered in this post is an extract and expansion of what is in the official JAMB brochure and on individual universities' admission portals. Hence, there is 100% assurance that this information is correct and undiluted.
