The State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS), Enugu, has not published an updated fees schedule since the 2022/2023 academic session. Students enrolling for 2026/2027 should confirm current charges directly with the SUMAS bursary before relying on the figures below, which are shown for background only.
SUMAS School Fees (Last Published: 2022/2023 Session)
This is the schedule SUMAS published on its own tuition page for the 2022/2023 session. It’s the most recent official breakdown we could confirm directly from the university, but it predates the current 2026/2027 session, so treat it as a reference point rather than this year’s price.
| Item | Amount (2022/2023) |
|---|---|
| Tuition | ₦25,400 |
| Registration Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Examination Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Teaching Aids | ₦4,000 |
| Library Fee | ₦10,000 |
| Property Maintenance | ₦5,000 |
| GST Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Entrepreneurial Studies Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Field Fee | ₦10,000 |
| Records Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Games Fee | ₦5,000 |
| ICT Fee | ₦20,000 |
| Accreditation Fee | ₦20,000 |
| Website Hosting Fee | ₦5,000 |
| Student Welfare Scheme | ₦5,000 |
| Health Insurance Scheme | ₦5,000 |
| Student Union Fee | ₦500 |
| Sanitary Fee | ₦5,000 |
On top of these common fees, each faculty pays a separate laboratory or workshop fee, which sets the overall total apart:
| Faculty | Lab/Workshop Fee | Reported Total |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery | ₦200,000 | ₦351,400 |
| Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences | ₦150,000 | ₦301,400 |
| Engineering, Basic Medical Science, Applied and Natural Sciences | ₦100,000 | ₦251,400 |
Checking the Figures Yourself
Ask the bursary for the schedule in writing and compare it line by line against the table above. A four-year-old breakdown is useful mainly for spotting which charges exist, not for predicting their size.
Pay only into an account the university names directly, and keep the teller until your registration is confirmed against your matriculation number.
The ₦6,500 the SUMAS Totals Do Not Explain
Add the eighteen common charges and they come to ₦144,900. Add the ₦100,000 laboratory fee for Engineering and the sciences and you reach ₦244,900, yet the reported total is ₦251,400.
The same ₦6,500 gap appears on all three faculty rows, which points to one unlisted charge applying across the board rather than an error in any single line.
What the table does show clearly is how little tuition matters here. At ₦25,400 it is a tenth of the cheapest total, while the laboratory fee alone ranges from ₦100,000 to ₦200,000.
That makes faculty choice the whole story at State University of Medical and Applied Sciences. Medicine and Surgery costs ₦100,000 more than the science faculties, and all of it sits in that one line.
