English and Literary Studies Direct Entry Requirements for Art/Humanities Candidates
Contents
Direct Entry applicants for English and Literary Studies should check the qualification attached to the exact course entry rather than relying on requirements for another English-related programme.
General Direct Entry Qualification
The course entry requires two A' Level passes to include Literature in English and one other Arts subject.
The requirement is therefore centred on Literature in English together with another Arts subject at the A' Level stage.
Why the Subjects Matter
Literature in English is specifically named as one of the required A' Level subjects. Candidates using the Direct Entry route should therefore ensure that their qualification contains the required subject combination.
Institution-Specific Direct Entry Conditions
The brochure also provides special Direct Entry considerations for some institutions under the English and Literary Studies entry. These include specific provisions involving qualifications such as ND, NCE and other recognised qualifications.
For instance, the entry gives University of Abuja a provision for two A' Level passes including Literature in English and another Arts subject, while University of Calabar accepts NCE with Literature in English as the teaching subject.
Do Not Transfer Another School's DE Condition
Direct Entry conditions can differ from one institution to another. A qualification accepted under a particular university's special consideration should not automatically be treated as a general requirement for every school offering English and Literary Studies.
Direct Entry at a Glance
- Two A' Level passes
- Literature in English
- One other Arts subject
- Institution-specific qualifications should be checked where the brochure provides them
Preparing for Direct Entry
