French Itself Is Required at Every Stage at UNILAG
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes including French and English Language, plus one other Arts subject. Three of the five credits are effectively specified, which is tighter than most Arts courses here.
The UTME combination keeps English Language compulsory, fixes French, and allows two further subjects from the Arts or Social Sciences. That final pair is the only genuinely open part of the combination.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ level passes including French and one other Arts subject. Social Science papers are accepted at UTME but not at this level, which is an easy distinction to miss.
Each section repeats the same note. The requirement is identical for Modern and European Languages, French and International Relations, French and International Studies, and French with German or Russian.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos.
