These subjects combination are also applicable to other O’level exams such as NECO AND GCE. The O level requirement, that is, the required WAEC subject combination for Creative Arts must include:

don't know what to study

These listed subjects are compulsory for anyone writing WAEC and other O level examinations. I will advise you to include a Language in your O level subjects. For the record, if you are one of those students seeking admission into any universities, college or polytechnics in Lagos State, Yoruba Language is compulsory for Creative Arts. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study Creative Arts, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Creative Arts

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a body responsible for your admission into the University or other institutions. Now I’m going to show you the compulsory JAMB subjects for Creative Arts that you must register and I will honestly advise you to aim for a score of 200 and above in JAMB UTME instead of 180 to be on a safe side because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider the College of Education or Polytechnic… Read how to answer and pass JAMB once.

Please note– If Mathematics is not listed among the Jamb subject on this post, then Mathematics is not compulsory for this course. JAMB is not the only option to gain admission into Nigerian Universities to study Creative Arts. If you’re having troubles with JAMB UTME, maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree. JAMB UTME subject combination to study Creative Arts must include:

  1. Fine Art
  2. Two other Arts subjects or Social Science subject.

 

I want you to read this

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Creative Arts

If you’re one of those seeking admission into the University to further your studies, in addition to the required WAEC subjects combination for Creative Arts, you are expected to have;

(i) Two ‘A’ level passes in Art or Fine Art and any other subject.
(ii) OND (Upper Credit) HND (Lower credit) from recognised institutions

 

If you have your O level result already and the subjects you have is not the same with the admission requirement that is the required O level subject combinations to study Creative Arts, don’t give up. You should consider other Creative Arts similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related courses.

You can also study online with a foreign university right from your bedroom or apply for a scholarship to study abroad. Education is now a choice. And please before you make a decision on which University to choose, please read useful guides on how to choose a course and university

Cut-off Mark for Creative Arts course

The cut-off mark for Creative Arts varies. You can check these universities JAMB UTME cut off marks here. Creative Arts is a good course and you can also check the top best Art courses. This should not influence you. Follow your heart or seek my counsel.

 

Creative Arts is how many years course?

In Nigeria, if you gain admission to study Creative Arts at the university through JAMB UTME, you will study Creative Arts for four years. If you gain admission through direct entry, you will study this course for three years. And of course there is room for more years if you have extension; the aftermath of carryover courses.

 

Creative Arts is under which faculty in Nigeria?

According to JAMB, a body responsible for your admission into the University or other institutions, Creative Arts is under the Faculty/School/College of Art but may be under a different faculty in some universities in Nigeria.

 

Have you read this?

Can a science or commercial student study Creative Arts?

Yes! If you are a science or a commercial student, you can study Creative Arts at the university provided you have the required subjects combination in your O level result. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects to fit your desired course during WAEC registration because some schools may go against it.

Also, during WAEC or NECO registration make sure you know which subjects are been registered for you because some secondary schools are ignorant about the importance of O level requirements for university courses. Another alternative way to register the required subject combinations for Creative Arts is through GCE.
