Federal University of Technology Owerri - FUTO
speciality: Biomedical Sciences

Studying Biomedical Engineering at FUTO has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The university offers a good enough balance of theory and practical learning whilst preparing students to think critically.

One of the things I love most is the competitive yet community-driven spirit — from academics to student politics. The open drive and hunger for school politics and leadership opportunities. Serving as the Public Relations Officer and later the President of my department gave me a platform to develop skills far beyond academics.

Of course, there are areas to improve, like the speed of administrative processes and access to better equipped laboratories, but overall, FUTO is a great place for students who want to learn, grow, and be well grounded not just academically. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passionate about Technology, Leadership, Growth, Connections and Politics.

FUTO is a well rounded school and as at my last year, a lot of modifications were ongoing; curriculums are being worked on.
However, the road networks aren’t really impressive and I feel it needs to be fixed soon as students find it uncomfortable during the rainy season in the school.

Eight out of every ten FUTO students will demonstrate high levels of academic excellence if they continue their education elsewhere. Program course curriculum is well-structured to encompass both practical and theoretical areas of knowledge. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on academic discipline for both staff and students.

The University is a good institution
I admire the student to lecturers relationship
The spiritual life and growth

I disliked the following
1. Crowd in labs during school courses practicals
2. Manual access to results
3. Bad attitudes of non academic staff in exams and records
4. Poor infrastructures in labs, lecture halls and IT center
5. Unkempt and unhealthy hostel accomodations
