WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Islamic Studies

You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Islamic Studies in Nigeria universities.

The required subject combination (o level requirement for Islamic Studies) must include

1. English Language
2. Islamic Religious Studies or Arabic
3. Any three relevant subjects.
4. A trade subject

The above WAEC subject combination is also applicable to other O’level examinations such as NECO and GCE. So now that you know the compulsory O level requirement to study Islamic Studies, let also look at UTME and Direct requirements and course descriptions.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Islamic Studies

Prepare yourself well so you can score above 200 in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of this score may deny you Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic…

Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you’re having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND or Predegree.

JAMB UTME subject combination (subject to register in jamb) to study Islamic Studies are

1. Islamic Religious Studies
2. Two other Arts subjects

 

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Islamic Studies
Two ‘A’ level passes to include Islamic Studies.

 

If for some reasons you are not satisfied or cannot meet up with this admission requirement that is the subject combination above, perhaps you should consider taking a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements. 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 consider

• The Fees
• The Distance
• The Environment
• The Degree Certificate
• Vulnerability to Strike
• Acceptable O Level and A-level Result
• Academic Calendar
