Mass Communication at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has its entry rules below, covering the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB papers, the university JAMB score and the departmental cut-off mark.
Two details set this department apart. The O’Level rule requires a science subject even though the course is an arts one, and the screening mark is 240 against a university cut-off of 200.
Literature in English is also compulsory, which is not true of every communications course.

Why UNIZIK Mass Communication Asks for a Science Credit
The O’Level requirement is five credits including English Language, Mathematics, Literature in English and one Science subject, with the remainder unspecified.
That science credit catches out arts candidates who assumed a purely humanities profile would do. Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Agricultural Science would each satisfy it.
The JAMB combination is far looser, asking only for Use of English and any three Arts or Social Science subjects.
The two lists therefore pull in slightly different directions, with a science credit needed at O’Level but no science paper required at UTME.
On scores, clear 200 in JAMB and then 240 in the school post UTME examination. Check your science credit and your Literature in English credit before you register.
