This is to inform the general public and all prospective students of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) that the Department of Education & Physics Admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers, two Direct Entry routes and the minimum score. Physics is compulsory throughout, while Mathematics shifts between fixed and optional.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Physics include the following:
- Five (5)’O’ Level credits pass to include English Language, Physics, Mathematics, and two (2) other Science subjects or NTC/NBC.
Three credits are named and the last two must be science subjects. National Technical and National Business Certificate results are accepted as an alternative, which brings technical college candidates into range.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics or Chemistry plus one (1) other subject
On the JAMB form Physics is fixed beside the compulsory English Language. The third paper may be Mathematics or Chemistry, and the fourth is left entirely open.
Mathematics is still a compulsory credit, so choosing Chemistry in JAMB does not release you from it on your result sheet.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- NCE credit/merit in relevant subjects.
Direct Entry returns Mathematics to a fixed position, pairing it with Physics as the two required A Level passes. An NCE at credit or merit in relevant subjects is the alternative.
