This article is designed to help students who wish to study Law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
Confirm that Law is still listed at UNIABUJA before you register for JAMB. Literature in English and Mathematics are both named credits, which surprises candidates who expect Law to be an Arts only application.
The university runs regular degree, diploma, and postgraduate programs. Due to its location in the Federal Capital Territory has a Centre for Distance Learning School, which provides university education to those who cannot acquire such education.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Law; You require;
Five ‘O’ level credit passes to include English Language, Literature in English, and Mathematics.
Three credits are named and the other two carry no restriction. Mathematics is required at credit level here, not merely at ordinary pass level as at some universities.
Literature in English is the other condition to check, since a strong English Language credit alone will not satisfy the department.
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 Law under the Faculty of Law at UNIABUJA include;
Any three Arts or Social Science subjects.
The JAMB combination is defined by group rather than by subject. English Language is compulsory and the other three papers must come from the Arts or Social Sciences.
Mathematics has no place on that list despite being a required credit, so the form gives no hint of it.
