UNN Department of Education and Biology Admission Requirements 2026/2027


UNN

Education and Biology is taught under the Faculty of Education at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). Biology is named on all three entry routes and the subjects around it are drawn from the sciences throughout.

The O’Level line leaves one credit open with no restriction attached, which is the single piece of flexibility in the whole requirement. Every other named subject is a science.

Confirm that Education and Biology appears on the current UNN course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against these conditions.

O’Level Subject Combination

The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education and Biology;

You require; Five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and one (1) other subject.

Subject Combination

In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Education and Biology under the Faculty of Education at UNN include;

Biology and two (2) other subjects from Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

Direct Entry

These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Biology if you don’t intend to use UTME.

You require;

NCE/’A’ Level passes in Biology and one (1) other Science subject.

JAMB Score

All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNN for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a minimum score of 200 or above in your JAMB result.

One Free Credit in the UNN Education and Biology Requirements

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes in English Language, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, plus one other subject. That fifth slot carries no stated restriction.

It is the only place on this page where a non-science paper could count. Everything else named in the requirements comes from the sciences.

The UTME combination keeps English Language compulsory, fixes Biology, and asks for two further subjects from Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Physics appears here but not in the O’Level list.

Direct Entry accepts an NCE or ‘A’ Level passes in Biology and one other science subject. It is the shortest route to state and the most open in its second choice.

A JAMB score of 200 or above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at UNN. That figure is higher than many state universities set and should be treated as the working minimum.
