The university is named after the first and only Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sir_Abubakar_Tafawa_Balewa\">Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa<\/a>. The motto of the university is &#8220;Doctrina Mater Artium&#8221;, which means &#8220;Education is the mother of the practical arts&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university was established in 1980 as the Federal University of Technology, Bauchi. The institution&#8217;s first students were admitted in October 1981 for pre-degree and remedial programmes while the degree courses of the School of Science and Science Education began in October 1982. On 1 October 1984, the university was merged with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ahmadu_Bello_University\">Ahmadu Bello University<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zaria\">Zaria<\/a>, Nigeria with a change of name to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa College, Ahmadu Bello University, Bauchi campus. The university regained its autonomous status in 1988 following a general demerger of such institutions. This was followed by a change of name to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The academic pattern of the university was formulated in 1980 after consultation with subject experts from Nigeria,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Kingdom\">United Kingdom<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_of_America\">United States of America<\/a>. The curriculum adopted was applied in nature, as suited a technologically based institution, and this theme is maintained in all the units of the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university offers degrees through seven schools: the School of Engineering, Science, Environmental Technology, Agriculture, Management Technology, the School of Technology Education and College of Medical Sciences. It offers entry level bachelor&#8217;s degrees and both Masters and Doctorate degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#PressPayNg#EduSAVINGS#EduLOANS#EduSURE#INTERNSHIP#SCHOLARSHIP#EduHEALTHMAINTAINANCE#ENTERPRENUERSHIP#PressPayNg#TERTIARY#EDUCATION#TUITION#FEES#UNIVERSITY#POLYTECHNIC#MONOTECHNIC#FELLOWSHIP#COLLEGEOFEDUCATION#HOLIDAYJOBS#SOFTSKILLSTRAINING<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University&nbsp;(ATBU) is a federal university of technology located in&nbsp;Bauchi, north east&nbsp;Nigeria.
