Redeemer’s University (RUN) School Fees for All Courses Offered
Overview
Redeemer’s University (RUN) is a private, faith-based institution owned by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). It is located within the Redemption Camp along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ede, Osun State, Nigeria. Founded in 2005 and accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC), the university has grown into one of Nigeria’s most sought-after private universities, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across faculties such as Basic Medical Sciences, Built Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Law, Management Sciences, Natural Sciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
As with most private universities, tuition at RUN varies significantly by faculty and course of study, with professional and lab-intensive programmes (Medicine, Nursing, Law, Engineering) costing considerably more than Humanities, Social Science, and Management courses. This article gives a full breakdown of what students and parents should expect to pay.
General Fee Range
Across all faculties and levels of study, Redeemer’s University tuition fees range roughly from ₦133,500 to over ₦2,000,000 per session, depending on the programme and year of study. As a broad guide:
Humanities, Social Science, Management, and Christian Religious Studies courses — the most affordable, often the lowest-tuition programmes in the university.
Natural Sciences and Basic Medical Science courses (excluding Nursing) — mid-range.
Law, Nursing, Engineering, and Medical Sciences — the most expensive, due to laboratory work, practicals, and accreditation requirements.
Sample Tuition Breakdown by Faculty/Department
The figures below are drawn from the university’s approved fee schedule for recent sessions and illustrate typical per-level costs (100L–500L, where applicable). Because fees are reviewed and adjusted from year to year, treat these as a realistic guide rather than the exact current-session figure — always confirm on the official RUN portal before payment.
Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences
Department Typical Range (per level)
Anatomy₦911,000 – ₦1,027,500
Biochemistry₦913,000 – ₦1,019,500
Physiology₦911,000 – ₦1,017,500
Medical Laboratory Science₦1,324,000 – ₦1,486,500
Public Health₦1,235,000 – ₦1,458,500
Physiotherapy₦1,367,500 – ₦1,480,000

Faculty of Law
100 Level: approximately ₦1,960,500
200 Level (Direct Entry): approximately ₦1,974,000
Law is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive — sometimes the most expensive — programme at Redeemer’s University.
Faculty of Engineering
Covering Civil, Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic, Chemical, and Computer Engineering:
100 Level: approximately ₦1,369,000, with fees remaining relatively consistent across subsequent levels.
Faculty of Management Sciences
Includes Accounting, Banking & Finance, Business Administration, Public Administration, Hospitality & Tourism Management, Insurance, Marketing, Transport Management, and Actuarial Science. These programmes are generally mid-priced, though Accounting and Actuarial Science trend toward the higher end due to professional exam-linked charges (e.g., ATS registration/lecture fees for Accounting students).
Faculty of Natural Sciences, Humanities & Social Sciences
These include Christian Religious Studies, English, History, Mass Communication, Political Science, Sociology, Mathematics, and related departments. They represent the lowest tuition band in the university — in some cases starting around ₦133,500 – ₦600,000 per session, depending on level and specific department. Note: Mathematics students in the Faculty of Natural Sciences do not pay laboratory fees, unlike lab-based science departments.
Compulsory/Additional Charges (All Students)
Beyond tuition, every student — fresher or returning — should budget for the following:
Charge Typical Amount
Acceptance Fee (new students only, one-time)
₦20,000 – ₦70,000
ICT/Technology Levy (annual)
~₦15,000
Accommodation/Hostel (per session)
₦150,000 – ₦200,000 (varies by room type: 1- or 2-bedded)
Exam Clearance Fee (before certificate collection, final year)
~₦10,000
ID Card Replacement (if needed)
~₦5,000
Late Registration Fine
~₦20,000
Supplementary Exam Fees
Varies by course unit
Postgraduate Project/Research Fees
Varies
New (fresher) students typically face total one-time compulsory charges of roughly ₦179,000, in addition to tuition, while recurring per-semester charges (library, student life, medical, etc.) run to about ₦112,000 per semester (≈₦224,000 per session). These figures vary by source and session, so treat them as an estimate.
Discounts and Payment Terms
Sibling discount: A 10% tuition discount is available for parents with more than one ward at the university (for non-RCCG-member families; RCCG-affiliated families may have separate arrangements).
Instalmental payment: RUN allows tuition to be paid in three instalments — commonly structured as 60% in the first semester (40% before resumption, 20% before first-semester exams) and 40% before second-semester resumption.
Full payment encouraged: The university encourages, but does not strictly require, full payment before first-semester resumption.
Returning students are generally exempt from several one-time charges that only apply to freshers (e.g., acceptance fee, matriculation-related charges).
Postgraduate Fees
Postgraduate tuition (Masters, PGD, PhD) at Redeemer’s University is set separately from undergraduate fees and varies by programme, department, and research requirements (including project/thesis supervision fees). Prospective postgraduate students should request the current fee schedule directly from the relevant faculty or the Postgraduate School Office.
Why Fees Vary So Much by Course
Laboratory and equipment costs: Programmes like Medicine-related sciences, Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Engineering require constant lab consumables, clinical placements, and specialised equipment.
Professional accreditation standards: Law and health-related courses must meet the standards of bodies like the Council of Legal Education, Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, etc., which adds cost.
Class size and staffing: Humanities and Social Science courses tend to have larger class sizes and lower per-student overhead, keeping fees lower.
Final Notes for Prospective Students and Parents
Fees change yearly. Always check the official Redeemer’s University website or contact the Bursary Department directly before making any payment, as the figures above are based on recent sessions and are subject to annual review.
Budget beyond tuition. Books, personal upkeep, transportation, and additional departmental charges (e.g., project fees in final year) should be factored into your overall budget.
Explore instalment options if full payment upfront is not feasible — RUN’s three-instalment structure can ease the financial burden across the session.
Confirm your specific department’s fees — even within one faculty, fees can differ department to department (e.g., Nursing vs. Anatomy within Basic Medical Sciences).
