Linguistics/Edo O'Level Requirements for Art/Humanities Admission
Contents
For candidates seeking admission to study Linguistics/Edo, the JAMB brochure gives a specific O'Level structure for the programme at BENIN. The requirement is built around five relevant credits or the stated TC II equivalent.
Required O'Level Subjects
The brochure states that candidates should have five O'Level credit passes or TC II merits, including the following:
- English Language
- Literature in English
- A Nigerian Language, preferably Edo
The same entry specifically states that an O'Level pass in Mathematics is optional.
The Nigerian Language Requirement
One of the notable features of this course entry is the Nigerian Language requirement. The brochure specifies a Nigerian Language, preferably Edo, making the language component particularly relevant to the programme.
What About Mathematics?
Candidates should pay attention to the wording used in the brochure: O'Level pass in Mathematics is optional. It is therefore not presented in this course entry as a compulsory credit requirement.
Special Consideration for English Language
There is also an important institution-specific provision. BENIN accepts an O'Level pass in English Language for candidates with an O'Level distinction pass in Literature in English.
This is a special consideration attached to the BENIN entry and should not be generalised to other Linguistics-related programmes or institutions.
Before You Submit Your Application
Check your result against the exact structure above, paying particular attention to English Language, Literature in English and the Nigerian Language requirement. Also note the special provision concerning English Language and Literature in English.
