Geography is compulsory in all three sections, while Mathematics is required only at pass level for the UTME route.

The Direct Entry list is the broadest part of the page, reaching into the sciences in a way the O’Level and UTME rules do not.

Geography (Social Science) Admission Requirement

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.

Where the Sciences Enter UNILAG Geography

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes in English Language, Geography and three Arts or Social Science subjects, with at least a pass in Mathematics.

The JAMB combination names English Language and Geography, with two other Arts or Social Science subjects completing the four papers.

Neither of those lists admits a science subject, which makes the Direct Entry clause the exception on this page.

Direct Entry takes two A level passes in Geography and one of Economics, Government, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics, so a science candidate with a Geography A level has a route in.

The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Confirm your Geography credit and your Mathematics pass before registering.
