Three Separate Streams Under UNILAG Theatre Arts
The page covers three programmes rather than one. Theatre Arts, Visual Arts and Music each carry their own O’level list, and the differences between them are easy to miss.
Theatre Arts requires Literature in English, Visual Arts requires one of Fine Arts, Visual Arts, Photography, Craft Practice or Dyeing and Bleaching, and Music accepts either Music or Literature in English.
English Language and Mathematics are common to all three, and the first two streams also insist that one of the remaining subjects be an Arts subject.
At UTME the three streams merge into a single combination, namely English Language, one of Fine Arts, Literature in English or Music, one Arts subject, and any Science or Social Science subject.
Direct Entry is where Music candidates gain the most. Beyond the subject lists, the faculty accepts an HND or OND at upper credit in Drama, Theatre or Music, an NCE in Music, and diplomas or advanced level awards from the Royal School of Music London, Trinity College London or MUSON.
