This page also carries a separate line for NBC holders, which is unusual and gives candidates from business and commercial colleges a clear statement of what will count.

The sections below set out the requirements candidates must meet to study Banking and Finance at the University of Lagos, covering O’level subject combination, JAMB Score and Post UTME Score, and departmental cut-Off mark.

To study Banking and Finance, candidates must meet the following requirements.

Economics Enters Late in UNILAG Banking and Finance

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics and any other relevant subjects. Only two papers are named, and relevance is left undefined for the rest.

A second line addresses NBC holders directly, allowing the two relevant subjects to come from Accounting, Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Office Practice and Economics. That is the clearest guidance on the page.

The JAMB registration is four subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Economics, plus any one of Government and Geography. Economics is compulsory here even though it is not named in the general O’Level line.

Direct Entry accepts two ‘A’ level passes chosen from Accounting, Economics, Management, Mathematics, Geography and Statistics. Management and Statistics appear only on that route.

The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. Candidates should treat the Economics requirement at UTME as the practical gate for this course.
