English and International Studies O'Level Requirements for Art/Humanities Admission
Contents
For candidates seeking admission to study English and International Studies, the O'Level requirement in the JAMB course entry is based on five SSCE credit passes. The required subjects are clearly identified in the entry for the programme at UNIOSUN.
SSCE Subjects Required
Candidates are required to have five SSCE credit passes to include:
- English Language
- Literature in English
- Any other three Arts or Social Science subjects
The course entry carries this requirement alongside the UTME and Direct Entry information for UNIOSUN.
Breaking Down the Five Credits
Two subjects are specifically named: English Language and Literature in English. The remaining three credits can come from Arts or Social Science subjects as stated in the entry.
This means that candidates should not interpret all Arts and Social Science subjects as compulsory. The brochure provides them as the area from which the additional three subjects are obtained.
Why Literature in English Matters
Literature in English is specifically included in the O'Level requirement. This is consistent with the programme's English and literary component and should be distinguished from the separate UTME subject combination.
O'Level Is Different From UTME
The SSCE requirement should not be confused with the UTME subjects. For UTME, the course entry gives Literature in English, Government or History and any other Arts subject. The O'Level requirement instead specifies five credits including English Language and Literature in English.
Candidate Checklist
- Five SSCE credit passes
- English Language
- Literature in English
- Three other Arts or Social Science subjects
Before You Apply
Candidates should check their complete result against the course requirements before registration. It is also important to use the exact English and International Studies entry rather than assuming that requirements for English Language or another related programme apply automatically.
For more details on the requirements, candidates should consult the document below.
