Psychology is offered at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences. This page covers the O’Level credits, the JAMB combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.
UNILAG is a federal government research university in Lagos State, in south western Nigeria. It remains among the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions, and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.
Government or History is required at O’Level and again for Direct Entry, but it does not appear in the UTME combination, which asks only for English Language and any three Arts or Social Science subjects.
Mathematics is needed at pass level rather than as a credit, which keeps the course open to candidates whose Mathematics grade is modest.
