In this article, we will look at the Requirements for admission into the Department of Mass Communication in the University Of Lagos (UNILAG).

Three sets of conditions appear below. One covers the O’level credits, one the UTME papers, and one the Direct Entry route for candidates holding JUPEB or A’level results instead.

UNILAG Mass Communication Admission Requirements

O’Level Subjects

Five ‘O’ Level credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Literature in English and any two of Economics, History/Government, Geography, Nigerian Language, CRS/IRS, and Civic Education.

UTME Subjects

English Language, Literature-in-English, and any two subjects from Arts or Social Sciences. **Mathematics is accepted

Direct Entry Requirements

Very good passes in three JUPEB/A Level subjects: Literature-in-English and any two of Economics, Government, History, and CRS/IRS.

One Compulsory Subject Across All Three UNILAG Mass Communication Routes

Literature in English is named on every list. It belongs among the five O’level credits, among the UTME papers, and among the three JUPEB or A’level subjects at Direct Entry, with no alternative anywhere.

Mathematics behaves differently. It is required as an O’level credit, while the UTME line notes only that Mathematics is accepted rather than demanded among the four papers.

The supporting subjects stay within the humanities. At O’level the two remaining credits come from Economics, History or Government, Geography, a Nigerian Language, religious studies and Civic Education.

At UTME the pool widens to any two Arts or Social Science subjects, while Direct Entry narrows it again to Economics, Government, History and religious studies.

Candidates should therefore settle Literature in English first, then check that English Language and Mathematics credits are both on the result sheet before choosing the supporting papers.
