Landmark University Freshers Fees 2025/2026

Deciding to attend Landmark University is a big step; one filled with excitement, new friendships, and lots of planning.

One of the most important things for freshers (first-year students) to know is: how much will it cost? Not just tuition, but everything else ‒ registration, lab fees, accommodation, and other charges.

If you’re preparing for admission or just admitted, this guide walks you through what you should expect to pay, how fees are structured, what extra costs to anticipate, and how to plan your finances properly.

What Freshers Fees Means

Freshers fees refers to the total amount a new student must pay when starting their first academic session. This includes:

• Tuition / departmental fees: what the university charges for classes.
• One-time (miscellaneous) fees: matriculation, registration, acceptance, ID, etc.
• Academic support and utility fees: library, lab/ICT/utility, development fees.
• Optional fees like accommodation, meals, uniform, excursion, transport.
• Recurring fees and contributions: Student Union dues, sports, etc.

Current Fee Range at Landmark University

Finding exact, up-to-date numbers for all courses can be hard because fees vary by department, course level, and whether you choose optional services like hostels or extra labs.

Landmark University fees for undergraduate freshers range between ₦600,000 to ₦700,000 per session for many courses.

What Impacts the Fee Amount

Several factors make fees differ from one student to another, even within the same university:

1. Department & Course Requirements: Science, engineering, agriculture, and health-related courses often have high lab, workshop or field work fees. For example, students in Agriculture or Engineering might pay more for laboratory access, kits, workshops, and departmental utilities. Courses in the arts or social sciences tend to have lower extra fees. Evidence from past structures shows these differences clearly.
2. Academic Support Services & Others: Beyond tuition, fees for ICT, utility, library, development, lab maintenance, etc., can add up. The “others” category (ID cards, matric fees, screening, medical, etc.) often includes many small charges that cumulatively make a big difference. Older fee schedules from LMU show “others” contributing tens of thousands of Naira.
3. Hostel & Accommodation: If you plan to stay in university-provided housing, that adds a separate cost. Some universities make accommodation optional; you may choose off-campus housing or commute. The cost of on-campus housing often depends on type of room, sharing, utilities. LMU publishes accommodation as optional for postgraduate, but for undergrads, housing is often a major consideration.
4. One-time vs Recurring Fees: Freshers pay certain one-time fees like matriculation, admission screening, ID cards, medical screening. These apply only once (or very infrequently). Recurring fees like tuition, semester registration, and departmental dues happen every session. Budgeting must include both. The older LMU fee documents show these one-time fees clearly.
5. Year & Inflation: Fees tend to increase over time. Documents from 2016/2017 are significantly lower than what people report for recent years. Inflation, cost of utilities and academic materials affect fee hikes. Always try to find the latest official fee schedule from the university website or registrar’s office.

How to Find the Official Current Fees

To get the exact numbers for your course and year, do these:

1. Visit the Landmark University official website: Check the Admissions, Fees, or Bursary section. Universities usually publish current fee schedules there. (LMU’s website does have pages on fees for postgraduate studies, etc.)
2. Contact the Registrar’s Office: Either by visit, email or phone. Especially ask for:
   • The full cost for your specific programme
   • Optional and mandatory fees
   • Accommodation cost if living on campus
3. Check Admission Brochures / Freshers Handbook: Sometimes universities issue PDF brochures that list the fee break-downs including “others” fees.
4. Talk to current students: They’ll tell you about hidden costs, additional charges, what to actually expect once you settle in.

Tips to Budget & Plan as a Fresher

• Start saving early: Even if some fees are due after you resume, get part of the money ready ahead of time.
• Carry extra funds for unexpected charges: medicals, departmental charges, kits, general utilities.
• Ask about payment instalment plans: Some schools allow part payments (check if LMU offers instalments).
• Consider off-campus housing if campus housing is expensive or effects are too many.
• Buy used textbooks where possible or share with classmates.
• Ensure you budget for transport to get around campus and to your home/hometown during holidays.

Pitfalls to Watch Out For

• Outdated fee schedules: Many non-official sites publish old fees (e.g. 2016/2017). Always check the date.
• Others charges missing: Some published fees show tuition only but omit “others” like ICT, lab, ID cards, etc. If you only budget tuition, you’ll be caught off guard.
• Accommodation fees vary: Includes utilities, whether meals are included, etc.
• Currency depreciation / inflation: If you are paying from abroad or budgeting in foreign currency, exchange rates may impact what you need.
