History
The School of Postgraduate Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, has its beginning, in the 1981/82 academic year of the defunct Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH).
When the present Anambra State was created in 1991, the two campuses of the then ASUTECH at Awka and Nnewi were constituted, by the Anambra State Edict no. 5 of 1991 into Nnarndi Azikwe University. The Postgraduate programmes in the campuses, thus, emerged as the NnamdiAzikweUniversitySchool of postgraduate studies.
There were, at that point in time, Postgraduate programmes in the nine departments constituting the faculty of natural sciences and four departments that constituted the faculty of education. Postgraduate programmes were, later, developed and mounted in other faculties of the University.
