Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture & Technology, Enugu

Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture and Technology (OSISAT), known as OSISATECH, is a tertiary institution in Enugu, Enugu State, founded in 1988 by Rev. Fr. Prof. E.M.P. Edeh C.S.Sp. and run on a Catholic mission basis. It was established primarily, though not exclusively, for disabled and disadvantaged people who are often shut out of admission into universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. Its motto is Moral and Academic Excellence in Education. The polytechnic describes itself as the first privately owned polytechnic in Nigeria.

The institution combines a Polytechnic and a College of Education. The polytechnic is organised into the School of Business (Accountancy, Business Administration and Management, Public Administration, Mass Communication, Marketing, Office Technology and Management, Cooperative Economics, Banking and Finance), the School of Technology (Science Laboratory Technology, Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Food Technology, Computer Engineering) and the School of Continuing Education, which offers part-time versions of several of these courses. The College of Education offers NCE programmes in English Language, Social Studies, Business Education and Christian Religious Studies, plus degree programmes in Business Education (Accounting option) and Computer Education.

Programmes include Preliminary Studies for candidates who lack or await entry qualifications, National Diploma (ND, two years), Higher National Diploma (HND), NCE, a Professional Diploma in Education (PDE, 12 months, two semesters), and Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) run with sister institution Madonna University, Okija (18 months, three semesters: two of coursework and one of project work). Six-month and one-year certificate programmes in Geriatrics and Caregiving cover clinical skills including dementia care and first aid. Courses are accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), which approved the admission of National Diploma students in December 1991.

Its vision is to empower students to acquire and apply knowledge and skills and to practise the core values of respect, tolerance and moral excellence. Fees are subsidised by the Catholic mission.
