  4. University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU)

Ahmadu Bello University is one of the institutions offering Archaeology. Candidates interested in the course should consider the admission requirements that apply to the university and the admission route they intend to use.

University of Ibadan

The University of Ibadan also offers Archaeology. Candidates who want to study the course should check the relevant admission requirements before applying, particularly if they intend to use the Direct Entry route.

University of Jos

The University of Jos is another institution offering Archaeology. Candidates applying through Direct Entry should pay attention to the qualification and grade required by the university.

University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka offers Archaeology as well. Candidates should check the admission conditions applicable to the course and their chosen admission route.

Archaeology Admission Requirements

The UTME combination for Archaeology is any two subjects from Arts or Social Sciences and one of History, Religious Studies, Government and Geography.

The O'Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including English Language and one of Religious Studies, Geography, Economics and History.

The general Direct Entry requirement is two A' Level passes in Arts or Social Sciences and one Science subject, subject to the specific conditions of the university.

Why University-Specific Requirements Matter

The general requirements provide a basis for candidates, but Direct Entry conditions can differ between institutions.

ABU, the University of Ibadan, the University of Jos and UNN have different conditions for candidates seeking Direct Entry admission. Candidates should therefore check the requirement of their preferred institution instead of assuming that one university's condition applies everywhere.

How to Choose a University for Archaeology

Start by identifying the institutions offering Archaeology. Then compare your qualifications and intended admission route with the requirements of your preferred university.

UTME candidates should pay attention to their UTME subjects and SSCE result, while Direct Entry candidates should check the qualification and grade accepted by their chosen institution.

Final Advice

Knowing the universities that offer Archaeology is only one part of preparing for admission. Candidates should also examine the requirements of their preferred institution carefully before completing an application.
