You are welcome to the homepage feed of the Academic Planning Division of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo City, Nigeria. The Academic Planning Division is one of the divisions organizationally located in the Vice-Chancellor’s office. The primary role of the Division is to ensure that all departments/units/ divisions in the University conform with the benchmark minimum academic standards (BMAS) set by the local and international regulators. The Division became functional on March 1, 2016, with the appointment of a Senior Academic Planning Officer and the subsequent appointment of a Director in April 2016. Currently, there is four personnel in the Division: Director, Senior Academic Planning Officer, Academic Planning officer II, and a System Analyst. Since its inception, the Division has made significant contributions to the University’s development and also working assiduously to ensure the realization of her vision and mission statements.

The Division conducts periodical surveys among students, staff, and community to enhance the teaching-learning atmosphere of the University. Principally, during the short period of its establishment, the Division has conducted three significant surveys: The traits of an excellent lecturer, Students’ evaluation of lecturers and Students’ satisfaction with the curriculum, mode of delivery, library, internet access and facilities provided by the University.

These surveys have helped in formulating policies to improve the teaching-learning process and welfare package of students. Welcome again to the first specialized Medical University in the nation - UNIMED!
