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

Three sets of conditions are published below, covering the O’level credits, the four UTME papers, and the Direct Entry route for candidates holding JUPEB or A’level results instead of sitting UTME.

UNILAG Political Science Admission Requirements

O’Level Subjects

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

UTME Subjects

English Language, Government, and any two subjects from Economics, Geography, History, Literature in English, CRS/IRS, and Mathematics.

Direct Entry Requirements

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

Government on Every List at UNILAG Political Science

Government is the one subject named on all three routes. It belongs among the five O’level credits, among the four UTME papers, and among the three JUPEB or A’level subjects at Direct Entry.

Mathematics is the subject that moves. It is a required O’level credit, appears at UTME only as one option among several, and is absent from the Direct Entry list entirely.

The O’level line also pairs Economics with Geography, treating them as interchangeable, then asks for one of History, Literature in English or religious studies.

At UTME those same subjects form a single pool, with any two accepted beside English Language and Government, which gives candidates more freedom at the registration stage.

Direct Entry narrows the pool again, dropping Geography and Mathematics and keeping Literature in English, Economics, religious studies and History.
