Education and Geography is offered at the University Of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka. This page covers the five O’Level credit passes, the UTME subject combination, the Direct Entry route for A Level and NCE holders, and the JAMB score required.
Geography is required at every stage, which is what you would expect from a programme training geography teachers. It sits among the O’Level credits, anchors the UTME combination and appears in the Direct Entry conditions.
Mathematics is the detail candidates miss. It is named among the five O’Level credits but does not appear in the UTME combination, so the two lists do not mirror each other here.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
