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 Islamic Studies 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 Islamic Study, candidates must meet the following requirements.

Three routes follow, covering the O’level credits, the four JAMB papers and a Direct Entry option with two branches, one through an NCE and one through A’level results.

O’Level Subject Combination

Below is the UTME Requirement for Education and Islamic Studies;

  • Five (5) SSC credit passes, including English Language, Islamic Studies, and three (3) other relevant subjects.

JAMB Subject Combination

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

  • English Language(*), Islamic Studies/Arabic, and two (2) other Social Science or Arts subjects.

Direct Entry Requirement for Education and Islamic Studies

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

  1.  NCE merit in Islamic Studies and Education.
  2. ‘A’ level passes in Arabic/ Islamic Studies and other relevant subjects.

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.

Arabic as a Substitute at UNILAG Education and Islamic Studies

At O’level the requirement is specific. Five SSC credit passes are needed including English Language and Islamic Studies, with three other relevant subjects completing the list.

At UTME the wording changes to Islamic Studies or Arabic, which gives candidates who sat Arabic a route that the O’level line does not offer.

Direct Entry repeats that allowance, naming A’level passes in Arabic or Islamic Studies alongside other relevant subjects.

The second Direct Entry branch is different again, accepting an NCE merit in Islamic Studies and Education rather than advanced level results.

Candidates using the Arabic route should still check their O’level credits carefully, and everyone needs 200 and above in JAMB for admission to any department at the University of Lagos.
