About The University of Cross Rivers State

University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) provides courses and programs that lead to officially recognized higher education degrees, such as bachelor’s degrees, in various fields of study.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Mathematics include the following:
- Five (5) SSCE credit passes include English Language, Mathematics, and one (1) other Science subject.
Three of the five credits are defined. English Language and Mathematics are named, one more must be a science subject, and the remaining two are left entirely open.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two (2) Science subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
The JAMB form doubles the science requirement. Two papers are needed rather than one, and they must come from Physics, Chemistry and Biology rather than from the sciences in general.
Agricultural Science, which might satisfy the single O Level science credit, is not among the three options offered here.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Mathematics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2)’A’ Level passes/NCE in Mathematics and one (1) Science subject.
Direct Entry returns to a single science subject beside Mathematics, and an NCE is accepted on the same terms as A Level passes, which suits candidates already teaching the subject.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNICROSS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 140 or above in your JAMB result.
One Science or Two at UNICROSS Education and Mathematics
Mathematics appears in the O Level credits, on the JAMB form and in the Direct Entry passes. Nothing about this course works without it, which is unsurprising given the subject being taught.
The science requirement is what shifts. One science credit at O Level, two named papers in JAMB, and one science subject again at Direct Entry. Plan for Physics, Chemistry or Biology and clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
