Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, has admitted 748 students for the 2026/2027 academic session, while recording a 90.3 per cent increase in applications from prospective undergraduates.

The university said it received 3,247 applications through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry channels for the session, up from 1,706 in the previous academic year.

Of the applicants, 1,374 were offered admission, while 748 eventually enrolled.

The new students comprise 379 males and 369 females admitted into the School of Media and Communication, the School of Management and Social Sciences, and the School of Science and Technology.

At the 13th matriculation ceremony held at its main campus, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, on Saturday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Enase Okonedo, congratulated the students on securing admission, urging them to make the most of the opportunity.

The university disclosed that the new intake included a student from Cameroon.

She said, “Each of you has earned your place here. What matters now is what you do with the opportunity.

“Pan-Atlantic University is committed to the holistic development of students. The university’s concern extends beyond academic competence to the formation of individuals who can exercise sound judgment and take responsibility for the impact of their decisions on others.

“The habits formed during their time at PAU would endure long after the completion of their degrees.”

The Head of Student Affairs, Mrs Anne Osezua, administered the matriculation pledge, during which the students affirmed their commitment to abide by the institution’s rules and regulations.
