General Academic Requirements

There are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme- this is called a 'subject requirement'. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations (O Level or A Level as the case may be).

Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
What you will need to gain admission to a degree programme depends on several factors, such as:

• JAMB scores (Cut-off Point for the programme of study)
• Post UME Aptitude test score
• University carrying capacity for the programme of study
