The Federal University of Technology Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State (FUTIA) is one of Nigeria’s newest federal universities established in June 2021 by the Nigerian government. This university is one of the two new Universities of Technology, founded in Akwa Ibom and Jigawa state.

The university focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and hopes to be one of the best places to learn, research, and get new ideas. FUTIA offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in areas of computing, engineering, and pure and applied sciences.

They even have a program for distance learning, in case you are too busy to attend the regular degree This university was approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and recognized by professional groups like COREN, CPN, and NISLT.

The university is equipped with modern facilities like libraries, labs, sports areas, and health centres.

Suppose you’re willing to know about the FUTIA courses. In that case, we’ve listed them below and we’ll give you a good look at the different parts of FUTIA, including faculties and colleges, and answer common questions about their courses and programs.

List Of Faculties/Colleges At FUTIA

Currently, as of the time this article was published, the university has just only three faculties which are listed below;

1. School of Pure and Applied Science: FUTIA offers programmes in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and statistics at this faculty to produce graduates who will be competent in scientific knowledge and skill.

2. School of Engineering and Technology: The second faculty which is the School of Engineering and Technology offers programmes in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical/electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, and petroleum engineering.

The reason why FUTIA created this faculty is the aim of producing graduates who will be competent in engineering principles and practices, and at the same time must be able to design, construct, operate, and maintain engineering systems and projects.

3. School of Computing and Information Technology: The purpose why FUTIA established this faculty is to offer programmes in computer science, software engineering, information technology, and cyber security.

At the end of the degree programme, students should be able to use their skills in computing and information technology and should be able to develop, implement, and manage software systems and applications.
