History of UNIZIK College of Postgraduate Studies
The College of Postgraduate Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, began in the 1981/82 academic year of the defunct Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH).
When the present Anambra State was created in 1991, the two campuses of the then ASUTECH at Awka and Nnewi were constituted by the Anambra State Edict No. 5 of 1991 into Nnamdi Azikwe University.
The Postgraduate programmes in the campuses, thus, emerged as the Nnamdi Azikwe University School of Postgraduate Studies.
