This article is designed to help students who wish to study Computer Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment, and Technology at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
Confirm that Computer Engineering is still listed at OAU before you register for JAMB. Further Mathematics is a named credit here, which few engineering departments require outright.
Obafemi Awolowo University offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in specialization spanning the humanities, the arts, the natural sciences, the social sciences, the medical sciences, engineering, and technology.
The university has 13 faculties and two colleges, the Postgraduate College and the College of Health Sciences, administered in more than 60 departments. It was previously associated with Loma Linda University in California, USA.

O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Engineering; You require;
Five (5) SSC credit passes to include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and English Language.
All five credits are named, so nothing on this list is optional. Further Mathematics sits among them, which rules out candidates whose school did not offer it.
That subject never reappears on the JAMB form or at Direct Entry, so the credit list is the only place it is checked.
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 Computer Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology at OAU include;
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry
The JAMB combination drops Further Mathematics and repeats the other three named credits beside the compulsory English Language.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Computer Engineering if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
Three (3) ‘A’ level passes in Pure Mathematics or Pure and Applied Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics.
Direct Entry asks for three A Level passes rather than two, and specifies Pure Mathematics or Pure and Applied Mathematics alongside Chemistry and Physics.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- OAU accepts ND upper credit in Computer Science
The waiver opens a diploma route, accepting an ND at upper credit in Computer Science, which avoids the three A Level passes entirely.
Jamb Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into OAU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 200 or above in your JAMB result.
The Further Mathematics Credit at OAU Computer Engineering
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry run through all three stages, and Further Mathematics is a fifth named credit that appears nowhere else in the post.
Direct Entry is heavy at three A Level passes, though an ND at upper credit in Computer Science is accepted instead. OAU also asks for 200 or above in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
