The University of Abuja (also known as Yakubu Gowon University), located in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, offers a wide range of academic programmes across various faculties. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the university’s admission requirements and courses offered.
University of Abuja Admission Requirements
- Academic Credentials Matter: To even step into the admission arena, you’ve got to flaunt those academic muscles. The board demands a minimum of 5 credit passes in your SSCE certificate or its equivalent. Don’t spread those passes across more than two sittings; it’s a one-shot deal.
- JAMB Scores or Bust: Your journey doesn’t end with your high school triumphs. The admission board wants to see your JAMB scores, and they’re not taking any prisoners. A considerable and accepted score in JAMB is your golden ticket. Alternatively, if you’re entering through the Direct Entry door, a Diploma or NCE with at least an upper credit is your secret handshake.
- Language of the Land: English and Mathematics – the dynamic duo. For every course, no exceptions, you’ve got to have a credit pass in both. It’s the language and logic combo that opens doors.
- Age Isn’t Just a Number: Before you start dreaming of university life, make sure you’ve crossed the 16-year mark. Age matters, folks.
- Subject Mastery: It’s not just about the quantity; it’s about the relevance. A minimum of 5 credit passes in relevant subjects is your arsenal. And yes, English Language and Mathematics are non-negotiable. GCE O’Level, WASCE, SSCE, NECO – take your pick, but nail it in not more than 2 sittings.
- Meet the Cut-off Standard: Last but not least, don’t forget to hit the UNIABUJA cut-off mark approved by JAMB. It’s the final piece of the puzzle to secure your spot.
