Planning a UNIABUJA Christian Religious Studies Application Around CRS
At O’Level you need five SSC credit passes. English Language and CRS are fixed, and three other relevant subjects fill the remaining places, which gives arts candidates a good deal of freedom.
The UTME combination is similarly open. English Language is compulsory, two Arts subjects are required with CRS among them, and the final paper may be any other subject.
Direct Entry asks for two A level passes or an NCE that includes CRS or Religious Studies. The UNIABUJA waiver then accepts an NCE merit carrying a minimum of ten points, or an ND at upper credit, provided the UTME requirements are also satisfied.
Confirm your CRS credit before anything else, since no route into this course works without it, and check that your JAMB score reaches the 180 UNIABUJA requires for screening.
