English Studies Direct Entry Requirements: What Candidates Should Know

Direct Entry applicants for English Studies should be careful to distinguish the course from other programmes with similar names. The JAMB brochure lists English Studies separately under Arts/Humanities for AAUA, Babcock and KASU.

Direct Entry Information in the Brochure

The English Studies entry shown in the brochure does not provide a separate Direct Entry qualification in the course row. Consequently, candidates should not automatically transfer the A' Level, NCE, ND, HND or other Direct Entry conditions stated under English Language, English and Literary Studies or Literature in English.

Do Not Mix Related Courses

The Arts/Humanities section contains several closely related English programmes. Their admission conditions may be presented separately. A Direct Entry qualification stated for one programme cannot safely be treated as a qualification for English Studies unless the relevant institution confirms it.

This is particularly important for candidates holding qualifications such as NCE, ND, HND or A' Level passes. The specific qualification, subject and grade requirements must be checked against the programme and institution concerned.

Direct Entry Candidates Should Check Carefully

If English Studies is the intended choice, candidates should verify the current Direct Entry admission conditions applicable to their preferred institution before registration. The absence of a separate condition in the displayed brochure entry means that additional requirements should not be invented or assumed from a related programme.
