Welcome to
Osun State University
I have the pleasure to welcome you to the website of Osun State University, Nigeria. Our main campus is located in Osogbo, the capital of the State of Osun, while our other campuses are located in five other towns (Ejigbo, Ifetedo, Ikire, Ipetu-Ijesa and Okuku) spread across the six geopolitical zones of the State.
Licensed on 21 December, 2006, we opened our doors to full academic activities on 21 September 2007 and we have continued to make steady progress in the development of facilities and human resource to match the growing needs of the institution.
At Osun State University, we are driven by our vision and desire to “be a centre of excellence providing high quality teaching and learning experience, which will engender the production of entrepreneurial graduates capable of impacting on their environment while being globally competitive.” As an institution, we have committed ourselves to creating “a unique institution committed to the pursuit of academic innovation, skill-based training and a tradition of excellence in teaching, research and community service.”

Our roadmap to excellence, innovation, and global impact.
Access & Quality
The UNIOSUN was not set up simply to add to the number of institutions. Rather, to meet a felt need for a higher institution that will make significant difference in addressing challenges of access, quality, funding and relevance.
Innovative Funding
Our funding model is novel: cost sharing between proprietors (State Government), all Local Governments in the State, and beneficiaries through modest tuition. This has developed a body of stakeholders committed to our success.
Postgraduate Excellence
With NUC approval of our Postgraduate School in June 2014, we have commenced admissions into higher degree and postgraduate diploma programmes, contributing even more to Nigeria's quest for quality human resource.
Six Campuses · One University
Strategically located across all geopolitical zones of Osun State
A Novel Funding Model
Our funding model provides for cost sharing between the proprietors (State Government), the people of Osun State through contribution from all Local Governments, and the beneficiaries who contribute through modest tuition. This has enabled the development of a body of stakeholders committed to the success of this project.
