Planning to Study African and Asian Studies?
Students interested in African and Asian Studies should begin their admission preparation by understanding the requirements attached to the course. A good application starts with choosing the correct UTME subjects, checking the O'Level result and identifying the appropriate admission route.
African and Asian Studies is listed at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), making the institution an important part of the admission planning process for candidates interested in the course.
Start With Your UTME Subjects
UTME candidates should check the required JAMB combination before registration.
The combination is:
- English Language
- History or Government
- Literature in English
- CRS/IRS or Economics
English Language is compulsory, while candidates should arrange the other required subjects according to the combination.
Check Your O'Level Result
After confirming the JAMB subjects, candidates should examine their SSCE result.
The requirement is five O'Level credit passes, including English Language and an appropriate African, Asian, Nigerian or foreign language, with other relevant subjects completing the required credits.
Consider Direct Entry if You Already Have a Higher Qualification
Candidates who already possess an appropriate higher qualification may consider the Direct Entry route.
Relevant qualifications can include A' Level, ND, HND or NCE credentials where they satisfy the required subject area and grade conditions.
Keep the Two Admission Routes Separate
One of the easiest ways to avoid confusion is to treat UTME and Direct Entry as separate routes.
UTME candidates should focus on their JAMB subjects and O'Level result. Direct Entry candidates should focus on the higher qualification they are presenting and ensure that it satisfies the applicable requirements.
Check the Course Before Registration
Candidates should make sure that African and Asian Studies genuinely matches their interests. The course deals broadly with African and Asian cultures, languages, histories and societies and falls within the Arts and Humanities area.
A Simple Preparation Checklist
- Decide whether African and Asian Studies is the right course for you.
- Identify UNIZIK as the institution being considered.
- Check the JAMB UTME subject combination.
- Review your SSCE result and confirm the required credits.
- Check the relevant Direct Entry qualification if applying through DE.
- Make sure your qualifications match the admission route.
Why Early Preparation Helps
Checking admission requirements before registration gives candidates time to identify any qualification or subject issue. It is better to discover such issues during preparation than after completing an application.
Final Advice
Admission into African and Asian Studies begins with careful preparation. UTME candidates should verify their JAMB subjects and O'Level result, while Direct Entry candidates should check their higher qualification. Candidates should also ensure that the course and institution they choose match their academic plans.
