Psychology is taught under the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences at Federal University, Gashua (FUGASHUA). Government or History is named at O’Level and again at Direct Entry.
The UTME stage sits between them and names nothing at all beyond English Language. The requirement loosens in the middle and tightens again at the end.
Confirm that Psychology appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
