You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study History and International Studies in Nigeria universities. These subjects combination are also applicable to other O’level exams such as NECO AND GCE.

  1. English Language
  2. Geography
  3. Government History
  4. A trade subject

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 History and International Studies. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study History and International Studies, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for History and International Studies

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 History and International Studies 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 History and International Studies. 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 History and International Studies must include:

  1. History/Govt
  2. Any other two subjects from Arts and Social Science

 

I want you to read this

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study History and International Studies

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

(i) Two ‘A’ level passes/NCE (Upper Credit) in History, Govt and any other related subject.
(ii) Diploma in International Affairs/Strategic Studies or related discipline

 

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 History and International Studies, don’t give up. You should consider other History and International Studies similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related courses.

Have you read this?

Can a science or commercial student study History and International Studies?

Yes! If you are a science or a commercial student, you can study History and International Studies 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 History and International Studies is through GCE.
