Schools and Universities Offering Literature in English in Art/Humanities in Nigeria

The JAMB Arts/Humanities admission document lists Literature in English as a distinct programme under the Faculty/School/College of Arts. The institutions listed under the exact Literature in English entry are:

• Ahmadu Bello University (ABU)
• Bauchi State University (BASU)
• Borno State University (BOSU)
• Chrisland University (CHRISLAND)
• Christopher University (CHRISTOPHER)
• Clifford University (CLIFFORD)
• Gregory University (GREGORY)
• University of Jos (JOS)
• Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)
• Paul University (PAUL)
• Rivers State University (RSU)
• Usmanu Danfodiyo University (UDU)
• Osun State University (UNIOSUN)
• Wesley University (WESLEYUNI)

These institutions are the schools shown under the exact Literature in English heading. Related programmes such as English Studies and English and Literary Studies are listed separately in the same Arts/Humanities section and should not be merged with this list.

Why the Exact Course Entry Matters

Several English- and literature-related programmes appear close to one another in the JAMB document. Candidates should therefore check the exact programme title rather than assuming that a school listed for English Studies or English and Literary Studies also appears under Literature in English.

The brochure places Literature in English within the Arts/Humanities programme grouping, while the institution list determines the schools to which the specific course entry applies.

Before You Choose a School

After identifying a school that offers Literature in English, candidates should check the admission information attached to that institution and make sure their qualifications match the conditions applicable to the selected programme.
