Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the Faculty of Management Sciences of the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State of Nigeria.

Purpose

The Faculty of Management Sciences consists of five academic departments offering both Undergraduate and Post-graduate Programmes. It started in 1980 as a Graduate School of Management and Business Administration (GSMBA) offering a Harvard Style MBA programme with specialization in four functional areas namely, Accountancy, Finance and Banking, Management, and Marketing.

The undergraduate (B.Sc.) programmes were introduced in 1984/85 academic year. The B.sc. programmes are particularly designed to prepare students to become professionals in all the functional areas of Management Sciences. This is achieved by providing a broadly based, highly qualitative and analytical Management Science education necessary for success in society at large as well as in business world. Presently, the Faculty provides Undergraduate Programmes leading to Bachelor of Science Degrees in Accountancy, Finance and Banking, Management, Marketing, and Hospitality Management and Tourism.

The Faculty runs Specialized B.Sc. Programmes of Part-Time Evening Degree and Post-Graduate Diploma (PGD) that prepare students for admission into the MBA and M.Sc. degree programmes.

At the Post-Graduate level, the Faculty offers research-oriented and professional M.Sc., MBA and PhD Programmes to enhance the students’ leadership qualities, decision-making ability, independent thought and professional attitude.

In order to meet the growing needs of other areas of specialty in business which are not sufficiently covered by the existing Departments, the Faculty has expanded its programmes to include Departments of Hospitality Management and Tourism. The Faculty now has a functional Entrepreneurship Centre established as a Business Clinic to serve as an Advisory Unit to existing businessmen, as well as would-be entrepreneurs. It is meant to prepare the graduates of the Institution for the challenges of modern day labour market.

The Faculty also runs a Linkage programme – Associate Chartered Institute of Bankers (ACIB/B.sc.) Programme – with Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) leading to award of B.sc. degree in Finance and Banking.

We aspire to become a reference world-class citadel of learning, training and research where men and women of all descent may draw first class inspiration and service for the good of the global community.

We strongly believe in the attainment of excellence in all endeavours including academic, teaching, research, consultancy services, etc through the combination of forces of diligence, unity and tenacity of purpose, attention to rigor and details, and the fear of God.

Our Undergraduate and Post-Graduate Programmes in the Faculty are fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). Our graduates have consistently demonstrated superior performance in all spheres of human endeavour. The Faculty for two consecutive years took first and second positions in the MBA Project Evaluation Competition organized by the centre for Management Development (CMD).

Furthermore, the Faculty is a Centre of Excellence in the Study of Business Ethics and Indigenous Entrepreneurship Development in Nigeria.

It is my pleasure to welcome Visiting Scholars, Organizations, Prospective students and Researchers to get more acquainted with our Research and Consultancy Services.
