University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) isn’t a standalone degree-awarding university, so there’s no single “list of courses” with its own UTME cut-off mark the way you’d apply to UNIBEN itself. Here’s how it actually works, and what you can genuinely study or train in there.
Two Different Paths Into UBTH
There are two legitimate routes:
- Through UNIBEN’s College of Medical Sciences. If you’re admitted to UNIBEN for Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, Nursing Science, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiography, or related clinical courses, UBTH is where you do your clinical training and postings. Admission, cut-off marks, and course requirements for these programmes go through UNIBEN, not UBTH directly.
- Through UBTH’s own College of Nursing Sciences. UBTH independently runs nursing training with its own admission process, separate from the UNIBEN UTME pipeline.

UBTH College of Nursing Sciences Programmes
UBTH’s own College of Nursing Sciences runs its own admission processes for:
- Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc.), in affiliation with UNIBEN, requiring UTME
- ND and HND Nursing programmes
- The three-year General Nursing Programme, leading to the Registered Nurse (RN) certificate
- The 18-month Post-Registered Nursing Programme
- One-year Post-Basic Nursing certificate programmes in specialized areas, including ophthalmic, perioperative, and paediatric nursing
Check ubth.org directly for current admission windows and requirements for any of these, since they run on their own schedule separate from UNIBEN’s UTME intake.
UBTH’s Clinical Departments
If you’re a medical or allied health student wondering which clinical departments you’ll rotate through (rather than a course you apply to), UBTH’s major departments and units include:
- Internal Medicine
- Surgery
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology
- Child Health (Paediatrics)
- Anaesthesiology
- Family Medicine
- Community Health
- Mental Health (Psychiatry)
- Ophthalmology
- Orthopaedics and Traumatology

Conclusion
To study medicine or an allied health course leading to clinical work at UBTH, apply to UNIBEN’s College of Medical Sciences through the normal UTME/Post-UTME route. If nursing specifically is your goal, UBTH’s own College of Nursing Sciences is worth checking directly on ubth.org for its separate admission windows.
