Counselling and Psychology Direct Entry Requirements: Qualifications Candidates Should Verify
Contents
Direct Entry Into Counselling and Psychology
Direct Entry is designed for candidates who already hold an appropriate higher qualification and want to gain admission without following the conventional UTME route into 100 Level.
What the Brochure Supports
Counselling and Psychology is listed under Arts/Humanities in the supplied JAMB course catalogue. However, the searchable material does not expose a sufficiently clear Direct Entry requirement attached specifically to this course.
It would therefore be unsafe to assign an A' Level, NCE, ND or diploma requirement to the course without being able to match that qualification to the exact brochure entry.
Why the Exact Qualification Matters
Direct Entry conditions can vary considerably. Some courses accept A' Level passes, while others may accept NCE, ND, HND, IJMB, JUPEB or relevant diplomas. The qualification also usually has to be in an appropriate subject area.
Related Courses Should Be Checked Separately
Counselling and Psychology should not automatically inherit the Direct Entry requirements of Psychology and Human Development, Guidance and Counselling, Psychology or another related course.
What a DE Candidate Should Have Ready
- A' Level or other higher qualification certificate
- Details of the subjects studied
- Grades obtained
- O'Level result
- Institution and course information
Confirm Before Selecting the DE Route
A candidate should identify the university attached to the exact Counselling and Psychology programme and then confirm the Direct Entry conditions applicable to that institution.
This approach is safer than relying on a general requirement from another counselling or psychology programme.
The Brochure Remains the Starting Point
The course's inclusion under Arts/Humanities is confirmed by the supplied brochure. The detailed DE condition, however, should be taken only from the matching course-and-institution entry.
Candidates preparing through Direct Entry can refer to the document below and cross-check the relevant institutional information before submitting their application.
