About UNN
The University of Nigeria was the first indigenous university in Nigeria to attain full-fledged and autonomous status. It was modeled after the American educational system. It is the first land-grant university in Africa and one of Nigeria’s five most reputed universities.
The University has 102 academic departments in 15 Faculties and offers 82 undergraduate and 211 postgraduate programs.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study German include the following:
Five (5) SSCE credit passes to include French, English Language, and any three (3) other subjects.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language.
- French and any two (2) other Arts/Social Science subjects.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
UNN requires any three (3) subjects.
The UNN waiver matters here. While the general line names French and two Arts or Social Science subjects, UNN states that any three subjects are acceptable alongside English Language.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study German if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes, including the Foreign Language(s) where applicable.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
UNN accepts:
- NCE merit in relevant subjects as well as UTME requirements.
- Two (2) GCE ‘A’ level passes or its equivalent and three (3) other ‘O’ Level credit passes.
Direct Entry also accepts an NCE merit in relevant subjects with the UTME requirements, or two GCE A level passes backed by three O level credit passes.
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 of 160 or above score in your JAMB result.
Reading the UNN German Subject Lists Carefully
The O level list for this course names French rather than German. Five SSCE credit passes are required, covering French, English Language and any three other subjects.
The UNN waiver relaxes the UTME side to any three subjects, and Direct Entry asks for two A level passes including the foreign language where applicable. A minimum JAMB score of 160 applies, and it is worth confirming the language requirement with the department.
