International Studies and Diplomacy is taught under the Faculty of Administration at Kaduna State University (KASU). Mathematics is compulsory at the first two stages, which surprises many arts candidates.
Government is named at O’Level and again at Direct Entry, but at UTME it becomes one option among six. The weight each subject carries shifts as the process moves along.
Confirm that International Studies and Diplomacy appears on the current KASU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
