Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Law include the following:
Five SSCE ‘O’ level credit passes to include English Language, Literature in English, and Mathematics.
Three subjects are fixed at this stage. English Language, Literature in English and Mathematics must all be credit passes, leaving two of the five credits to subjects of your choice.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language.
- Any three Arts or Social Science subjects.
The UTME side is far more open. Beyond compulsory English Language you may offer any three Arts or Social Science subjects, so no particular combination is favoured.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Law if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes in Arts or Social Science subjects.
- NCE/ND/First Degree (Second Class Lower).
Direct Entry recognises more than A levels, taking an NCE, an ND or a first degree at second class lower as alternative qualifications.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIJOS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a minimum score of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Three Qualifications That Open UNIJOS Law at Direct Entry
Law at UNIJOS is prescriptive at O level and relaxed afterwards. You need five SSCE credit passes including English Language, Literature in English and Mathematics before anything else is considered.
In UTME any three Arts or Social Science subjects will do alongside English Language. Direct Entry accepts two A level passes in those fields, or an NCE, ND or first degree at second class lower, and the minimum JAMB score is 180.
