Contents
The general Direct Entry requirement shown for History is two A' Level passes in History and any other related subjects. The brochure then provides additional conditions for several individual institutions.

The basic requirement listed in the History entry is:
- Two A' Level passes in History and any other related subjects
Institution-Specific Direct Entry Conditions

For example, FED-LAFIA accepts IJMB with a minimum of 9 points, NCE with a minimum of Merit in History or another relevant course, and Diploma/OND with a minimum of Lower Credit in History or another relevant course/HND.

SOSU accepts two Merit passes at NCE, one of which must be History, and a Diploma in Arts or Social Science at Lower Credit level.
Other Direct Entry Conditions
The brochure also states that IBADAN accepts two A' Level/NCE passes in History and any other related subject; SAU accepts two A' Level passes in History and Government or NCE credit in relevant subjects; and NAUB requires two A' Level passes in History and another related subject.
Because these conditions are institution-specific, Direct Entry candidates should not assume that a qualification accepted by one university is automatically accepted by every other university offering History.
