Entry Requirements

- Five (5) SSCE credit passes in five (5) subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Only English Language and Mathematics are named. The other three credits carry no restriction at all, which puts this course within reach of candidates from any stream.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- The subject of specialization is one (1) from Arts and Social Sciences or Arts and Sciences or Social Sciences and Sciences.
The JAMB line is written around pairs of groups rather than named subjects. English Language is compulsory, and your subject of specialisation is drawn from one of the three group combinations listed.
In practice this means your papers should reflect the teaching subject you intend to specialise in, rather than a single fixed combination set by the department.

- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes/NCE merit/credit in relevant subjects.

How the Subject of Specialisation Works at UNICROSS Educational Foundations
English Language and Mathematics are the only subjects named anywhere in this post. Everything else turns on your chosen subject of specialisation and the group it falls into.
That makes the course broad but it also means the department expects you to have decided what you will teach. Secure your five credits, pick papers that match your specialisation, and confirm your JAMB score reaches 140 for the 2026/2027 session.
