1. Is futher maths complusory for actuarial science？because i heard if u dont have futher maths u might be admitted but during screening the person will be sent back home…how true is this？

   1. The compulsory O-level subjects for Actuarial Science are English Language, Mathematics and Economics.

      You can then complete the 5 required subjects with any two of Financial Accounting, Data Processing, CRS/IRS, Further Mathematics, Geography, Government, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Commerce, Civic Education, Insurance.

      So you can be admitted for Actuarial Science without Further Mathematics.

2. If you did not take economics in Jamb.Will you be taken in actuarial science

   1. No. Economics is a required UTME subject for Actuarial Science.

3. Is it true that unilag doesnt recognise acct as a combination in jamb for actuarial science???

   1. Not true.

      1. Tank u sir

         1. You are welcome Rita.

4. Please,I did biology,accounting, commerce,civic and insurance in my O’level, what are the likely two subjects to been chosen to complete the 5 core subjects

   1. No. Accounting is no longer a required UTME subject.

      1. Ahhhh….sir wt do u suggest I do….cuz I don’t even know when accounting was removed😥😥😥

         1. It is surprising to us too because we would expect the school to use an admission requirements they published before admission application forms were filled and submitted.

9. i wrote accounting, english, maths and economics. am i free to go for actuarial science?

   1. Going by the 2018-2019 Unilag admission requirements for Actuarial Science you will need to replace Accounting with any of Geography, Government, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Commerce in your UTME subjects to be good to go for Actuarial Science.

10. Is it available as post graduate program or only undergrad?

    1. Actuarial Science is available as undergraduate and post graduate programmes.

11. please my subject combination is maths english account and commerce is it okay for Actuarial science i did not do economics but I have it in my olevel any hope or which course fits my subj combo under faculty of administration

    1. For Actuarial Science you must do Economics in both your O-levels and UTME. Financial Accounts is not a required UTME subject for Actuarial Science.

12. My jamb combo is maths, English, economics and government for actuarial science and an aggregate of 65.325, am I good to go for the course?

    1. Yes you are good to go. It appears you beat the cut-off mark for Actuarial Science. Confirm here: http://lagtutor.com/unilag_cutoffs.php

13. i heard there was a mistake on the requirement, that accounting is no longer accepted 4 actuarial sci, and it supposed to be accepted.

    1. Financial Accounting is still accepted as an olevel subject for Actuarial Science.

14. So I am a science student and I want to offer this course
    What would be the best subject combination for waec and jamb?

    1. Dear Lydia your best subject combination for Actuarial Science depends on you. One possible combination is that you must have English, Mathematics and Economics. Then you make up with one or two of Physics, Chemistry or Biology.

15. My subject combination for jamb is maths, eng, econs and physics
    Am I good for actuarial science?

    1. Yes.

16. Is further maths compulsory for actuarial science

    1. No

    1. Your UTME subject combination is fine for Actuarial Science. Your UTME score is decent.

       You also have to ensure that your O-level subjects are appropriate and that you score sufficiently high in your O-level aggregate and your post UTME to beat the 2019 cut-off for Actuarial Science.

20. Pls since when has actuarial science offered in unilag

    1. Please rephrase your question clearly.

21. Good afternoon sir,i want to know whether principle ot accounts is still a utme requirement for actuarial science 2019/2020. Because my jamb combination is English,Mathematics,Economics and Principles of account

25. Sir,one more question
    Since the course is under business administration,how does physics and chemistry has gone to do with it

    1. Well, the course is called ‘Actuarial SCIENCE’ afterall. So it is science intensive. You can see it as a course that applies scientific principles to solving business problems.

26. Sir i did govt in jamb.but i din’t chose it in my o’level combination.
    am i good 2 go

    1. It will not be a problem if you have met your O-level requirements and UTME requirements for your applied for course.

27. sir please a unilag lecturer told me that if I do not have futher maths in my o’level result, then unilag would not accept me even if I have 400 score in JAMB, Sir please is futher maths really complusory??

    1. It depends on the course. For instance, Further Mathematics is required for all Engineering courses, Mathematics, and Computer Science.

       1. it’s actuarial science sir
