The management of the University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Sociology, covering the O’level subjects accepted, the UTME combination, the university JAMB cut-off and the departmental screening mark.
Sociology at UI accepts credits from Arts, Science or the Social Sciences, with English Language the only named subject. That breadth means students from almost any secondary school stream can meet the subject conditions.
The O’level requirement comes in two accepted shapes, five subjects at a single sitting or six across two sittings. The extra subject is the cost of using a second exam.
Both cut-off marks sit at 200, one in JAMB and one in the university screening exercise, and the two are assessed separately.
The admission requirements consist of O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
