University of Port Harcourt - Uniport Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Biomedical Sciences

I think the University of Port Harcourt is a great school. It has produced thousands of alumni who are successfully advancing in their careers and making impacts in their various fields. The university is notably called “The Entrepreneurial University”.

However, it is evident that Uniport faces the same problem other government owned institutions face here in Nigeria. They are often the issues of inadequate funding, lacking infrastructure, poor academic systems, lack of student support and several others.

I am a Year 3 student ot Biomedical Technology at the University of Port Harcourt. I actually transferred to my current course from the Pharmacy school in this same institution. My experience has been pretty eventful, but marked with the common challenges of schooling in a Nigerian public school. I’m however of the belief that my experience here will serve to prepare me for pursuing a career in Bioinformatics.
