English and Literary Studies O'Level Requirements for Art/Humanities Admission
Contents
For UTME candidates seeking admission to English and Literary Studies, the course entry requires five SSCE credit passes with two subjects specifically identified.
O'Level Subjects Required
The general requirement is:
- Five SSCE credit passes
- English Language
- Literature in English
The brochure specifies five SSCE credits to include Literature in English and English Language.
The remaining credits should be considered alongside the exact institutional conditions because the brochure contains additional requirements or variations for particular universities.
Why English Language and Literature in English Matter
Both English Language and Literature in English are directly identified in the general course requirement. Candidates should therefore pay particular attention to these subjects when checking their SSCE results.
Institutional Differences Can Apply
The general course entry should not be used to erase institution-specific conditions. For example, the brochure provides additional O'Level considerations for particular institutions, including requirements involving Mathematics, particular Arts subjects or other subject combinations.
Candidates should therefore check the exact school they are applying to before assuming that the general five-credit structure is the complete requirement.
Keep O'Level Separate From UTME
The O'Level requirement is different from the UTME combination. For UTME, candidates use Literature in English, one other Arts subject and another Arts or Social Science subject. The O'Level requirement, meanwhile, specifically includes English Language and Literature in English.
A Simple Result Checklist
- Five SSCE credit passes
