Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Sociology & Anthropology include the following:
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in Government or History, English Language, and three (3) other subjects. A pass in Mathematics is required.
Mathematics sits outside the five credits but still has to be passed. Government or History must be one of your credit subjects, with three more left to your choice.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language.
- Three (3) Social Science or Arts Subjects
The UTME combination names no specific subject beyond compulsory English Language. Any three Social Science or Arts subjects will complete it.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Sociology & Anthropology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes, including Government or History.
Special Requirement (Waiver) Remarks
UNN accepts two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Social Science or Arts subjects in addition to the UTME requirements
The waiver broadens the Direct Entry list too, accepting two A level passes in Social Science or Arts subjects rather than insisting on Government or History.
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.
Government or History Plus an Open UTME Slate at UNN
The O level stage is the most prescriptive part of this application. You need five SSCE credit passes including Government or History and English Language, three other subjects, and at least a pass in Mathematics.
After that the rules loosen. UTME asks only for English Language and any three Social Science or Arts subjects, and the UNN waiver lets Direct Entry candidates present two A level passes in Social Science or Arts subjects. The minimum JAMB score is 160.
