Official List of Courses Offered in Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) for 2026/2027

Official List of Courses Offered in Pan-Atlantic University (PAU): If you have chosen Pan-Atlantic University (PAU), located in the rapidly developing Ibeju-Lekki axis of Lagos, you are targeting the most prestigious boutique university in the country.

Famous for being the parent institution of the world-renowned Lagos Business School (LBS), PAU is not for everyone. It is designed for students who want a strictly professional education, direct industry links, and a class size small enough that the Vice-Chancellor probably knows your name. If you want a university experience that feels like a corporate boardroom rather than a typical campus, this is it.

Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into PAU, you need to understand the “Lagos Business School” culture:

1. The “Corporate” Dress Code

• PAU is Strictly Professional.

• The Rule: You are training to be a CEO. Male students wear ties; female students dress in corporate office wear. There is no “casual Friday” culture of ripped jeans or t-shirts in class.

2. The Location (Ibeju-Lekki)

• The Main Campus: PAU is located at Km 52, Lekki-Epe Expressway (near Eleganza Industrial City).

• Reality: It is far from the Lagos city center (Ikeja/Victoria Island). Most students live in the campus hostels (Pearl/Amethyst/Ruby) because commuting daily is stressful. The hostels are luxurious but expensive.

3. The Scholarship (Tuition Aid)

• Secret: PAU has a very robust Tuition Fee Aid scheme.

• How to get it: It is not just for the “poorest.” If you are brilliant (high JAMB/SSCE) but the ₦3M+ fee is a strain on your parents, apply for financial aid during your admission process. Many students are currently on 15% to 50% scholarships.
