UNILAG

The school has maintained one of the most competitive in the country regarding admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student population sizes of any university in the country.

In this article, we will list the requirements candidates must meet to study Education and Geography at the University of Lagos, ranging from O’level subject combination, JAMB Score and Post UTME Score, and departmental cut-Off mark.

To study Education and Geography, candidates must meet the following requirements.

Three routes follow, covering the O’level credits, the four JAMB papers and the Direct Entry option, along with the score the university applies across all of its departments.

O’Level Subject Combination

Below is the UTME Requirement for Education and Geography;

  • Five (5) SSC credit passes to include Geography, English Language and Mathematics.

JAMB Subject Combination

Below is the UTME/JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION for Education and Geography;

  • English Language(*), Geography plus two (2) other Social Sciences/Arts subjects.

Direct Entry Requirement for Education and Geography

Below is the DIRECT ENTRY (DE) Requirement for Education and Geography;

  1. Two (2) ‘A’ level passes/NCE merit should include Geography/Physics.

JAMB Score

For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.

Physics as a Direct Entry Alternative at UNILAG Education and Geography

Geography is named at O’level and again at UTME, with no substitution offered at either stage. Only at Direct Entry does the page allow Geography or Physics in its place.

That makes Direct Entry the one route open to a candidate whose advanced level work was in Physics rather than Geography.

The O’level requirement names three subjects out of five, namely Geography, English Language and Mathematics, leaving two credits to your own choice.

At UTME the remaining two papers must be Social Science or Arts subjects, so Mathematics drops out of the picture at that stage.

Every candidate still needs 200 and above in JAMB for admission to any department at the University of Lagos, so that figure applies here too.
