Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Opens Applications for Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Programmes for the 2026/2027 Academic Session
The Management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, is pleased to announce the official commencement of applications into its Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Centre for the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
This strategic initiative reaffirms LAUTECH’s unwavering commitment to “Globalizing Access to Quality Education” by providing flexible, high-quality academic pathways for working professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and individuals who desire a reputable university degree without the limitations of traditional full-time classroom attendance.

The Centre ensures “Parity of Esteem” — meaning that degrees awarded through the Open and Distance Learning mode carry the same academic value, recognition, and prestige as those obtained from the university’s conventional full-time programmes.

The LAUTECH ODL Advantage
The Open and Distance Learning model at LAUTECH is intentionally structured to break down traditional barriers of time, location, and rigid schedules. Key benefits include:
