This article is designed to help students who wish to study Vocational and Technical Education in the University of Lagos (UNILAG)
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) is a federal government research university in Lagos State, southwestern Nigeria.
The university has remained one of the most competitive in the country in terms of admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student populations of any university in the country.
This article sets out what Vocational and Technical Education asks for at UNILAG, covering the accepted certificates, the subject credits, the UTME combination and the minimum JAMB score the university applies to every department.
To study Vocational and Technical Education, candidates must meet the following requirements.
UTME Requirement For Vocational And Technical Education
Below is the UTME Requirement for Vocational and Technical Education ;
- Five (5) SSC credit passes in NTC, City, and Guilds Part I or WAEC Technical and Federal Craft Training Certificate including English Language, Mathematics, Technical Drawing, Physics, subject of specialization.
The range of accepted certificates is the notable part. A National Technical Certificate, City and Guilds Part I, a WAEC Technical result or a Federal Craft Training Certificate all count towards the five credits.
The subjects themselves are tightly defined. English Language, Mathematics, Technical Drawing and Physics are named, and the fifth place goes to your subject of specialisation.
That last item means the department expects you to have already chosen a trade or technical area before applying, rather than deciding after admission.

Below is the UTME/JAMB Subject Combination for Vocational and Technical Education
- English Language(*), Technical Drawing, a subject of specialization, and Mathematics or Physics
The UTME combination keeps Technical Drawing and the subject of specialisation, with English Language compulsory as always. The fourth paper is the only choice, between Mathematics and Physics.
Both of those remain required as O Level credits, so choosing one for JAMB does not release you from the other on your result sheet.
For any candidate to be admitted in any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
Which Certificates UNILAG Vocational and Technical Education Accepts
This course is built for candidates coming out of technical and craft training rather than conventional secondary school alone. Four certificate types are accepted towards the five required credits.
Technical Drawing and your subject of specialisation appear on both lists, while Mathematics and Physics are credits at O Level and a choice of one in JAMB. UNILAG also requires 200 and above in JAMB for every department, so that score applies here too.
