Welcome to the School of Postgraduate Studies, Federal University Otuoke.

It admitted its first set of students in the 2012/2013 Academic Session, and produced its first set of graduates in the 2015/2016 Academic Session. The University occupies three campuses on the same road – the West Campus, the Administrative Block, and the East Campus. The University is sited in Otuoke Community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria.

The University runs undergraduate programmes in six faculties. The faculties are: Education, Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences, Management Sciences, and Science. To fulfil its mission of extending the frontiers of knowledge through teaching and research, to help improve the skills and competence of other graduates who are working outside the academia or do not seek to do so, and to become even more useful to the region where it is located. Federal University Otuoke established the School of Postgraduate Studies, for higher degrees and diplomas, in February 2016.
