The University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka, has published the admission requirements for its Department of Linguistics and Other Language Studies, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers and both cut-off marks.

The O’Level rule here is one of the most accommodating at UNN, accepting Arts, Science and Social Science subjects alike, and naming Social Studies and Civic Education explicitly.
The UTME side is narrower, requiring Literature in English, which does not appear among the named O’Level credits.
