Communication Arts O'Level Requirements: What UTME Candidates Need

O'Level Requirements for Communication Arts

Candidates seeking admission into Communication Arts need to examine their O'Level results carefully. The JAMB brochure gives a general requirement for the course and also identifies a specific condition for Bowen University.

General O'Level Requirement

The brochure requires five SSC credit passes or their equivalent, including:

• English Language
• Literature in English
• Arts or Music, depending on the combination

The remaining subjects should be considered within the stated requirement for the programme and the institution being selected. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Why Literature in English Is Important

Literature in English is specifically included in the course requirement. Candidates should therefore check their O'Level result carefully to ensure that the required credit is present.

Bowen University's Specific Condition

For Bowen University, the brochure gives a clearer institution-specific requirement: five O'Level credit passes must include English Language, Literature in English and any other three Arts or Social Science subjects. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

This is important for candidates choosing Bowen because the university's stated requirement should be used when checking eligibility.

What About University of Uyo?

UYO is also listed for Communication Arts. Candidates applying there should check the course requirement and the university's current admission information rather than assuming that Bowen's institution-specific condition automatically applies to UYO.

How to Check Your Result

• Check for the required English Language credit.
• Check for Literature in English.
• Identify the relevant Arts or Music subject where applicable.
• Check the remaining credits against your chosen university's condition.
• Confirm the number of sittings accepted by the institution.

Do Not Count Credits Without Checking the Subjects

Having five credits is not by itself enough if the required subjects are missing. Candidates should always look at the actual subjects that make up their credits.

Why School-Specific Checking Matters

The Communication Arts entry demonstrates why candidates should check the institution they are selecting. Bowen has a stated additional O'Level condition in the brochure, while the course also appears at UYO. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
