This article is designed to help students who wish to study Chinese 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.
This department runs two programmes with different conditions. One names a language subject at every stage, while the other leaves the subjects entirely open beyond English Language.
That split matters at each point in the application, because the Ordinary Level credits, the JAMB papers and the direct entry qualifications all come in two versions.
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.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Chinese Studies; You require;
- Five (5) SSCE credit passes, including English Language and French.
- Credit passes in English Language and four (4) other subjects
The second option asks only for English Language and four further subjects of any kind, which is among the lightest credit conditions at the university.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session, should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
The 180 decides eligibility for the screening exercise. Candidates who reach it still face that stage before any offer is made.
Which KASU Chinese Studies Programme Applies to You
Before applying, work out which of the two programmes you are aiming at, because the lighter one asks only for English Language plus four free credits.
The other route is built around a named language subject at Ordinary Level, in JAMB and on the direct entry list alike.
Every subject-specific entry on this page names French rather than Chinese, including the reference to the French programme, while the course itself is Chinese Studies. Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should confirm the correct language requirement with the Faculty of Arts and Humanities or the current JAMB brochure before registering.
