About Sokoto State University
The Sokoto State University (SSU) is located in Sokoto State, Nigeria.
It was established in 2009 as part of a motivated effort on the part of the Sokoto State to satisfy the quest of the people of the state for excellence and education.
It began as the Sokoto State University School of Developmental Studies, which ran a one-year degree program to prepare students for the University.
Admission Requirements for Sociology
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Sociology is Five (5) SSCE credits in Government or History, English Language, and three other subjects.
A pass in Mathematics is required.
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 Sociology at SSU include any three Social Science or Arts subjects.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Sociology if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes, one of which should be Government or History.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into SSU 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.
A Mathematics Pass and a Government Credit at SSU Sociology
Two conditions govern the O’level side. Five credits are required including Government or History and English Language, and Mathematics is required separately as an ordinary pass.
That split is worth noting, because candidates often assume a Mathematics credit is needed for a social science degree.
At UTME the requirement opens right up, asking only for any three Social Science or Arts subjects beside the compulsory English Language.
Direct Entry returns to the teaching subject, accepting two A’level or NCE passes with Government or History among them.
Government or History therefore appears on two of the three routes. Candidates entering through UTME need a minimum of 180 and above in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
