This article is designed to help students who wish to study Computer Science under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University KASU.
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.
Mathematics is required on every route into this department, among the Ordinary Level credits, in the JAMB combination and in both direct entry options.
Around it the lists are broad. The Ordinary Level condition names only three subjects, and the direct entry NCE route accepts a Social Science subject alongside Mathematics.
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.
