The University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka runs Education and Fine and Applied Arts as a combined degree under its Faculty of Education. This page sets out the entry requirements JAMB publishes for that specific programme, not the generic Arts requirements.
The requirements below cover the O’Level subject combination, the UTME position, and the Direct Entry routes. They are taken from JAMB’s Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System record for the programme at UNN, where its status is listed as approved.
Candidates should note that Education and Fine and Applied Arts is distinct from the Fine and Applied Arts degree offered in the Faculty of Arts. The two carry different Direct Entry conditions, so check which one you selected during registration.
About UNN
The University of Nigeria was the first full-fledged autonomous indigenous university in Nigeria and was modelled on the American land-grant system. It remains one of the country’s better known federal universities and runs a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
O’Level Subject Combination
JAMB’s record for Education and Fine and Applied Arts at UNN requires five O’Level credit passes, or TC II, or NTC/NBC at merit level, including Fine Art and English Language.
Fine Art is not optional here. A candidate who holds five credits but no Fine Art credit does not meet the subject requirement for this programme, even if the overall aggregate is strong.
JAMB Subject Combination
English Language is compulsory in the UTME for every candidate, and this programme is no exception. You sit English Language plus three other subjects.
JAMB’s IBASS entry for Education and Fine and Applied Arts at UNN publishes the O’Level and Direct Entry conditions but does not set out a fixed list of the three remaining UTME subjects. Acadanow has not been able to verify that list from JAMB or UNN, so we are not publishing one.
Confirm your three subjects on the IBASS portal at ibass.jamb.gov.ng before you register, since selecting an unaccepted combination can invalidate an otherwise qualifying score.

Direct Entry Requirement
If you are not using the UTME route, JAMB lists two Direct Entry paths into Education and Fine and Applied Arts at UNN:
- NCE at merit level in Fine and Applied Arts, Double Major.
- ‘A’ Level passes in Fine Arts and any other 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.
Where to Confirm These Requirements Yourself
Requirements are revised between admission cycles. The two sources that govern this programme are JAMB’s IBASS portal and the UNN registry admissions pages, and they take precedence over any summary, including this one.
Acadanow will update this page when JAMB or UNN publishes a change, including the UTME subject combination once it is available in a verifiable form.
