General Regulations Governing Admission to Higher Degree Programmes
Candidates for admission to higher degree programmes shall normally be graduates of the University of Ibadan or other Universities/Institutions recognised by the Senate. Admission shall be made by the Postgraduate College on the recommendation of the appropriate Faculty Postgraduate Committee.
Candidates without any previous higher degrees in the relevant discipline may be admitted only to either the Degree of Master or the Professional Degree of Master.
Candidates with recognised “Research Higher” Degree in the relevant discipline may be admitted to the M.Phil or Ph.D. degree programmes as appropriate, on the recommendation of the appropriate Faculty Postgraduate Committee.
A candidate admitted to the degree of Master of University of Ibadan who obtained a weighted average mark of 55.0 – 59.9%, or a CGPA of between 4.0 and 4.9 may be offered provisional admission to the M.Phil./Ph.D programmes. Such candidates shall be assessed within three semesters of full time and four semesters of part time registration for the M.Phil/Ph.D to Ph.D conversion. This shall also apply to students who graduated from other universities
SPECIAL WAIVER FOR MATURED APPLICANTS
All University of Ibadan graduates should be admitted to Postgraduate programme with the ordinary level criteria existing at the time their first admission. Candidate who did not fulfill the requirements as at the time of their admission are not eligible for consideration.

The field of aquaculture and fishing teaches, everything needs knowing about raising and exploiting aquatic life. The field researches the biological mechanisms involved in fish farming techniques. A postgraduate degree in aquaculture and fisheries fosters knowledge of the principles and practices of aquaculture in the areas of nutrition and water quality, reproduction and genetics, hatchery management, ecology and physiology, husbandry and production, health management and disease control, product quality, aquaculture system and technology, experimental design and statistics for biology, fisheries biology and management, and bio-business.
Fisheries and aquaculture have a real stake in providing the world's increasing population with food fish and protein. The need for sustainable practices and the education of upcoming fisheries and aquaculture scientists, culturists, and managers has been reinforced by the continuing decline in capture fisheries, the threat and unpredictability of climate change, the increasing global human population, and the environmental impact of aquaculture systems. This postgraduate degree program is intended to ensure that students are trained from the beginning stages to the stage of active engagement. It offers distinctive hands-on field and laboratory methods that are necessary for solving current issues in the industry.
The fundamentals of fisheries and aquaculture processes, including catch, processing, preservation, packaging, and marketing, will be covered with the students. The management of fish farms, pond construction and installation of culture enclosures, management of culture facilities, cage culture, hatchery management, captive breeding, fingerling production, aquarium design, ornamental fisheries, genetic engineering, production of natural food and feed, and integrated culture techniques for finfish and shellfish are additional topics that students will be instructed in. Additionally, creative research on fish reproductive biology that aims to increase Nigeria's possibilities for cultivable species will be encouraged.
