FUPRE Introduces New B.Sc. Programmes for Science and Non-Science Students. The Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE), has expanded its undergraduate offerings with new Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) programmes across science and business disciplines. This development creates new pathways for students interested in careers in energy, petroleum, logistics, and environmental sciences.
The initiative is part of the university’s efforts to stay responsive to evolving industry demands and to offer more relevant academic options that combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on training.
New Programmes in Business and Management
College of Petroleum Administration and Management
This college has introduced four new degree programmes tailored for students without a science background but who are interested in the administrative, strategic, and data-driven sides of the energy sector.
Available Courses:
