This is to inform the general public and all aspiring students of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) that the admission requirements for the Department of Educational Management have been published.
The sections below cover the O’Level position, the four subjects sat in JAMB UTME, the Direct Entry position and the JAMB score Benin requires for screening into Educational Management.
Two of those sections point the reader to another department rather than setting out conditions of their own, so the UTME combination is the one part stated in full here.
Economics and Mathematics anchor that combination alongside the compulsory English Language, which places the course firmly in the social sciences.
