German is taught in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). Unusually for a language degree, no prior study of the language is required at O’Level or in the UTME combination.
The University of Lagos is a federal government research university in Lagos State, southwestern Nigeria. The JAMB score quoted here is an institutional condition applied to every department rather than one set by German.
The university has remained one of the most competitive in the country regarding admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student populations of any university in the country.
The sections below set out the requirements candidates must meet to study German at the University of Lagos, covering O’level subject combination, JAMB Score and Post UTME Score, and departmental cut-Off mark.

German at UNILAG Asks for an Arts Background, Not the Language
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes including English Language and Mathematics, with any three further subjects from the Arts or Social Sciences. German itself is not among the named papers.
The UTME combination is equally open. English Language is compulsory and the remaining three subjects may be any Arts or Social Science papers, with French noted as helpful but not required.
Direct Entry is where a language background starts to matter. Two ‘A’ level passes are needed and should include the foreign language or languages where applicable.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above, applied to any department at the University of Lagos. Because the subject requirements here are so broad, that score does most of the filtering.
A candidate from a general Arts background therefore has a realistic route into this department. The work of learning German begins after admission rather than before it.
