Bowen University, Iwo, has opened its portal for 2025/2026 undergraduate admissions. If you’re aiming for any Bowen degree programme—via UTME or Direct Entry—this form is your first decisive step. Everything you need (cost, eligibility, payment channels, and the exact online-application workflow) is laid out below. Read once, act fast, and keep every receipt.
Form Cost
- Application fee: ₦7,350 (non-refundable)
Pay only through the channels listed under “How to Apply.” Any other request for cash is a red flag—walk away.
Who Can Apply?
UTME (Post-UTME) Candidates
