This is to inform the general public that the management of the University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for her department of Mathematics For her admission aspirants.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
Only two subjects are compulsory on either list. English Language and Mathematics are fixed, and the remaining places are filled from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics and Geography.
The marks are the same at both stages. The university requires 200 in JAMB and the Department of Mathematics requires 200 in the school screening exercise, so there is no higher departmental hurdle here.
UI Department Of Mathematics Admission Requirements
O’level Subject Combinations
Candidates who wish to study Mathematics at the University Of Ibadan (UI) must possess Five ‘O’ level subjects in one sitting or 6 ‘O’ level subjects in English Language, Mathematics, and any two Science subjects from the following: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics, Geography and other subjects as the 6th subject.
Geography appears on that list alongside the sciences, which widens the course beyond candidates who took three laboratory subjects at school.
Further Mathematics is also accepted as one of the two. A candidate who offered it can count it towards the science requirement rather than treating it as an extra.

Two Science Subjects Beside UI Mathematics
This is a comparatively open requirement for a science department. After English Language and Mathematics, a candidate chooses two subjects from a list of five at Ordinary Level and again in JAMB.
Because the departmental mark matches the university mark, a candidate who reaches 200 at both stages is not facing an additional raised threshold for Mathematics.
The Ordinary Level sentence on this page does not state how many sittings the six subject option allows, and the subjects it names do not add up to five or six on their own. Confirm the exact wording with the current JAMB brochure or with the Department of Mathematics.
