Where to Study Linguistics/Yoruba in Art/Humanities in Nigeria
Contents
Candidates looking for a university offering Linguistics/Yoruba should check the exact course entry rather than relying on lists for the broader Linguistics programme or the separate Yoruba programme.
University Offering Linguistics/Yoruba
In the supplied JAMB brochure, the exact Linguistics/Yoruba course entry lists:
- Adekunle Ajasin University (AAUA)
The course appears as a separate entry from Linguistics, Linguistics and African Language and Linguistics and Urhobo. The brochure specifically places AAUA under the Linguistics/Yoruba entry.
Why the Exact Course Entry Matters
Linguistics/Yoruba should not be treated as though it has the same admission requirements as every other programme containing the word "Linguistics". The JAMB admission information separates the programme from other related course titles.
This distinction is particularly important when checking UTME subjects and O'Level requirements because the conditions attached to one Linguistics-related programme may not automatically apply to another.
Academic Category
Linguistics/Yoruba is listed under Arts/Humanities in the JAMB brochure's Faculty/School/College of Arts listing. The same list includes Linguistics/Edo and Linguistics/Urhobo as separate programmes.
Check the Institution-Specific Requirements
For candidates interested in AAUA, the course-specific admission information gives particular conditions for both O'Level and UTME subjects. These should be checked against the candidate's results and selected subjects before application.
