The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Department of Philosophy is one of the most outstanding faculties in the University, with its record of producing the best individuals in the practice Of Philosophy.

Three sets of conditions follow. They cover the O’level credits, the four UTME papers, and a Direct Entry route with three separate branches for advanced level, degree level and NCE candidates.

UNILAG Philosophy Admission Requirements

O’Level Requirement

Five O/level credits in English Language, Mathematics, one Art, and any two Arts, Social Sciences, and Science. Civic Education is also accepted.

UTME Subjects

English Language, one Art, and any two Arts, Social Sciences or Science.

Direct Entry Requirements

(i) Very good passes in three JUPEB/A Level subjects: Any three of Literature-in-English, Igbo/Yoruba, CRS/IRS, French, History, Economics, Government, Chemistry, Physics, Biology but at least one Arts subject,

(ii) Related field with a minimum of 55% average score

(iii) NCE credit in two (2) teaching subjects, one of which must be Arts subjects.

One Arts Subject Is All UNILAG Philosophy Insists On

This department names fewer subjects than almost any other. At O’level it asks for English Language, Mathematics, one Arts subject and two more from Arts, Social Sciences or Science, with Civic Education also accepted.

At UTME the pattern repeats without Mathematics, requiring English Language, one Arts subject and any two from the same three groups.

Science candidates are therefore welcome, provided one Arts subject appears in the combination. That single condition is the one to plan around.

Direct Entry has three branches. The first accepts three JUPEB or A’level subjects from a list that spans Literature in English, Igbo or Yoruba, religious studies, French, History, Economics, Government, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, again with at least one Arts subject.

The second accepts a related field with a minimum 55 per cent average score, and the third an NCE credit in two teaching subjects, one of which must be an Arts subject.
