Deadline Requires Clarification

FUAMB’s official website states that the online screening portal will close on “31th September, 2026.” However, September has only 30 days, indicating what appears to be a typographical error in the published notice.

Prospective applicants are therefore advised to complete their registration as early as possible and regularly monitor the university’s official channels for any clarification or correction regarding the application deadline.

The university says its academic programmes are designed to equip students with practical skills in agriculture, scientific research, digital technology and innovation.

FUAMB also places emphasis on smart farming, sustainable agricultural practices and research-driven learning aimed at addressing contemporary food security and environmental challenges.
