The JAMB Subjects You Need for Actuarial Science

UTME Subject Combination for Actuarial Science

For candidates applying to study Actuarial Science through UTME, the listed subject combination is Mathematics, Economics and one other subject. Use of English is also required as the compulsory UTME subject. Therefore, candidates should prepare for:

• Use of English
• Mathematics
• Economics
• One other relevant subject

The brochure gives the general Actuarial Science combination as Mathematics, Economics and one other subject.

What Should the Fourth Subject Be?

The general requirement leaves the fourth subject as one other subject. Candidates should therefore pay attention to the specific requirements of the university they intend to choose rather than assuming that every institution will treat every fourth subject in exactly the same way.

For example, the brochure specifically states that the University of Lagos accepts Mathematics, Economics and any one of Geography, Government, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Commerce.

Choosing the correct UTME subjects is important because the combination entered during JAMB registration should match the requirements applicable to the institution and programme.
