This article is designed to help students who wish to study Arabic Studies under the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at Kaduna State University.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Arabic is required on both routes into this department. It is named among the Ordinary Level credits and again in the direct entry condition, with no alternative offered in either place.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.

Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Arabic, and three (3) other relevant subjects.

JAMB Score

The 180 is a threshold for the screening exercise rather than an offer of a place. Candidates below it are not considered at that stage.
Arabic Across Both Routes Into KASU
A candidate without Arabic cannot enter this department, since the subject is named in the Ordinary Level credits and again in the direct entry requirement.
Beyond Arabic and English Language the Ordinary Level condition is loosely drawn, so aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should ask the Faculty of Arts and Humanities which three subjects it counts as relevant.
This page does not list a JAMB UTME subject combination for Arabic Studies. Confirm the four papers to register with the current JAMB brochure or with the department before sitting the examination.
