This article is designed to help students who wish to study Mathematics Faculty of Sciences at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
Confirm that Mathematics is still listed at UNIABUJA before you register for JAMB. Three separate waivers sit in this post, and each one loosens the general line above it.
The university runs regular degree, diploma, and postgraduate programs. 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 Mathematics; You require;
Five (5) SSC credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, and Physics or Chemistry.
The general line names English Language and Mathematics and asks for a single credit in Physics or Chemistry. The last two places are unrestricted.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIABUJA accepts five credit passes at SSCE (or its equivalent), including English, Mathematics, and any other three subjects, preferably Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, and Geography in that order
The waiver drops the Physics or Chemistry condition altogether, asking only for English Language, Mathematics and any three further subjects.
It then lists a preference order running from Further Mathematics through the sciences to Geography, which guides rather than restricts the choice.
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 Mathematics under the Faculty of Sciences at UNIABUJA include;
Mathematics and any two (2) of Physics, Chemistry, and Economics or Geography.
On the JAMB form Mathematics joins the compulsory English Language, with two further papers from Physics, Chemistry, Economics and Geography.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIABUJA accepts Biology as one of the other two subjects.
The second waiver adds Biology to that list, which the general combination does not mention at all.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Mathematics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Mathematics and any other science subject.
- NCE merit in Mathematics and one (1) in Physics, Chemistry, or Economics
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIABUJA accepts Two Level Credit Passes in Mathematics and either Physics and /or Chemistry OR NCE (minimum 10 points) with Credit Passes in Mathematics and another Science subject OR ND with Upper Credit in a relevant discipline in addition to the ‘O’ level requirements.
The third waiver sets out three Direct Entry routes in detail, covering A Level credit passes, an NCE at a minimum of ten points, and an ND at upper credit in a relevant discipline.
All of them come with the O Level requirements attached, so the five credits still have to be in place.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIABUJA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Three Waivers Reshape UNIABUJA Mathematics Entry
Mathematics and English Language are the constants, required among the credits and on the JAMB form. Beyond them the waivers rewrite each general line.
The O Level waiver removes the Physics or Chemistry condition, the JAMB waiver adds Biology, and the Direct Entry waiver names three routes with the O Level requirements attached. Clear 180 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
