Adamawa State University (ADSU) is a public university in Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria.
ADSU offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various disciplines, including arts, sciences, engineering, education, and law.
Any student applying to study at the university needs the correct O’level (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) and JAMB subject combination.
