Communication Arts Direct Entry: Qualifications and Admission Requirements

Direct Entry Requirements for Communication Arts

Direct Entry is an alternative admission route for candidates who already possess a recognised higher qualification. For Communication Arts, the JAMB brochure provides a general qualification requirement for applicants using this route.

A' Level Qualification

The brochure requires two A' Level passes or an equivalent qualification in Arts or Social Science subjects.

This means that a candidate presenting an A' Level qualification should ensure that the subjects fall within the relevant Arts or Social Science areas.

Why the Subject Area Matters

Holding a higher qualification does not automatically make a candidate eligible for every course. For Communication Arts, the qualification is expected to be in relevant Arts or Social Science subjects.

O'Level Requirements Still Matter

Direct Entry applicants should also check the O'Level requirements. The course entry requires five SSC credit passes or their equivalent, with English Language, Literature in English and the relevant Arts or Music condition forming part of the stated requirement. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Bowen and UYO

Communication Arts is listed for Bowen University and the University of Uyo. Candidates should confirm the specific admission instructions attached to the institution they intend to select.

What a DE Candidate Should Verify

• The type of higher qualification being presented.
• The subjects included in the qualification.
• Whether the subjects fall within Arts or Social Sciences.
• The O'Level requirements.
• The institution's current Direct Entry instructions.

Do Not Transfer DE Requirements From Related Courses

Communication Arts has a distinct entry in the JAMB brochure. Candidates should therefore avoid taking Direct Entry conditions from Communication and Language Arts, Communication Studies or Mass Communication and treating them as though they belong to Communication Arts.

Planning the DE Application

A candidate should first identify the preferred institution and then compare the qualification with the stated requirements. This makes it easier to identify any issue before the application is submitted.
