Arabic Studies is taught under the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at Federal University Gashua (FUGASHUA). The Arabic paper is required on all three routes with no alternative offered.
The subjects around it narrow as the process goes on, moving from relevant subjects at O’Level to Arts or Social Sciences at UTME and Arts alone at Direct Entry.
Confirm that Arabic Studies appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

The Supporting Field Narrows at Each FUGASHUA Arabic Studies Stage
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes in English Language, Arabic and three other relevant subjects. Relevance is left undefined, which keeps that stage open.
The UTME combination restricts the field. English Language is compulsory, Arabic is fixed, and the two remaining papers must come from the Arts or Social Sciences.
Direct Entry narrows again, asking for two ‘A’ level passes in Arabic and any other Arts subject. Social Science papers accepted at UTME are not accepted there.
A candidate from a social science background therefore has a route through UTME that Direct Entry would close off.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at FUGASHUA and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
