The Open Subject Combination for UNN Special Education
This course has one of the more flexible JAMB combinations at UNN, since any three subjects satisfy the requirement alongside the compulsory English Language.

Direct Entry candidates should also confirm whether their ‘A’ level or NCE merit passes fall under Arts or Social Science, since both routes are accepted for this programme.
