This article is designed to help students who wish to study Home Economics and Education in the University of Lagos (UNILAG)
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) is a federal government research university in Lagos State, southwestern Nigeria. The university has remained one of the most competitive in the country in terms of admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student populations of any university in the country.
This article sets out what Home Economics and Education asks for at the University of Lagos, covering the O Level credits, the UTME subject combination, the three Direct Entry routes and the minimum JAMB score.
To study Home Economics and Education, candidates must meet the following requirements.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below is the UTME Requirement for Home Economics and Education;
- Five (5) ‘O’ level NTC/NBC credit passes or TC II merit including English Language, Mathematics, Home Economics, Biology, and Chemistry.
All five subjects are named, so nothing on this list is optional. Home Economics itself must sit at credit level, which rules out candidates who did not take it at senior secondary.
National Technical and National Business Certificate credits are accepted, as is a Teachers Grade II at merit, which widens the range of qualifications that count.
Below is the UTME/JAMB Subject Combination for Home Economics and Education
- English Language(*), Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and one (1) other subject.
The JAMB combination is looser than the credit list. Home Economics and Mathematics do not appear, Agricultural Science may replace Biology, and the fourth paper is left entirely open.
Only Chemistry carries across from the credits as a fixed requirement, alongside the compulsory English Language.

Why Home Economics Must Be on Your UNILAG Result
The O Level list is the strictest part of this application. Home Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language are all required at credit level with no substitutions offered.
The JAMB combination asks far less, naming only Chemistry beside English Language, and the Direct Entry routes accept an NCE, A Levels or a diploma. UNILAG requires 200 and above in JAMB for every department, so that score applies here too.
