Criminology is taught under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences at The Federal University, Kashere. The requirements are built around Economics and Mathematics rather than around any criminology or government paper.
That surprises many applicants. Neither Government nor Civic Education is named at O’Level or in the UTME combination, and Economics carries the weight instead.
Confirm that Criminology appears on the current FUKASHERE course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Economics, Not Government, Opens FUKASHERE Criminology
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Economics and any other social science or arts subject. Economics is compulsory even though the course is a criminology degree.
The UTME combination keeps the same shape. English Language is compulsory, Economics and Mathematics are named, and the third paper may be any social science or arts subject.
A candidate who prepared Government and Literature but skipped Economics would therefore fail the subject condition at both stages. There is no alternative offered for it.
Direct Entry still requires Economics, with the second ‘A’ level pass drawn from Mathematics, Statistics, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Agric Science, Accounting, Business Management, History or Government. Government appears here and only here.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at FUKASHERE.
