About PAMO University of Medical Sciences (PUMS)

PAMO University of Medical Sciences (PUMS), located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, is a private medical university established to train health professionals across clinical, nursing, allied health, and basic medical science disciplines. The university is licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and its medical programmes are subject to accreditation by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

The institution attracts students from across Nigeria who seek specialised medical training in a private university setting.

PUMS Available Programmes 2026/2027 — All Courses by Faculty

PUMS offers undergraduate programmes across four faculties. All courses listed below are available for the 2026/2027 intake.

Faculty	Available Programme(s)
Clinical Sciences	Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)
Nursing Sciences	Nursing Science (B.NSc)
Allied Health Sciences	Medical Laboratory Science, Radiography, Physiotherapy, Optometry
Basic Medical Sciences	Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Physiology, Human Nutrition & Dietetics

PUMS Minimum UTME Score Requirements 2026/2027

Not all programmes at PUMS carry the same minimum score. Here is the breakdown:

Programme	Minimum UTME Score	Note
Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)	220 (minimum)	Competitive applicants typically score 280+
All Other Programmes	170	General university minimum

Important: Scoring the minimum does not guarantee admission. PUMS, like all medical universities, admits based on available spaces and overall candidate performance. For MBBS especially, scoring just above 220 places you at a significant disadvantage — aim for 280 and above to be genuinely competitive.

PUMS Post-UTME Eligibility Requirements 2026/2027

Before applying, confirm that you meet all of the following:

• You sat for the 2026 JAMB UTME and scored a minimum of 170 (or 220+ for MBBS)
• You selected PAMO University of Medical Sciences as your first-choice institution in JAMB — OR you have completed a Change of Institution on the JAMB portal to switch to PUMS
• You have (or are awaiting) at least five (5) O’Level credit passes in relevant subjects — English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are typically required for science-based medical programmes
• Your results are from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in not more than two sittings

Candidates who did not choose PUMS as their first choice during UTME registration must use the JAMB Change of Institution portal before applying. Submitting an application without correcting your JAMB profile will disqualify you from screening.
