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.
