O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education and Arabic;
You require; Five (5) ‘O’ Level credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Arabic.
Two credits are named and the other three are described only as relevant subjects, which for a language teaching programme points at the Arts and Social Sciences.
Arabic must sit at credit level, so candidates who studied the language outside the school system will need a recognised result to show for it.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Education and Arabic under the Faculty of Education at LASU include;
Arabic and any 2 relevant Arts/Social Science subjects.
On the JAMB form Arabic joins the compulsory English Language, and the other two papers must come from the Arts or Social Sciences.

You require; Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes or NCE in relevant subjects, including Arabic.
Direct Entry keeps the same anchor, requiring Arabic among the two passes. An NCE is accepted on the same terms as A Levels, which suits candidates already teaching the language.
