        1. You do not have any Arts subject. Unilag does not consider Government as an arts subject.

          1. Pls sir, I had math C6, EngC4, Yoruba B3, Civic B2,lit-in-eng C6 and CRS B3. And my UTME subject combination is English, C.R.S, Government and Lit-in-eng and I scored 226. Hope I can study philosophy in Unilag.

  1. I’ve B.A in philosophy can I do masters in any field related like public and Int’l affairs, if no then mastering in Phill, can I be doing it and continue my work .

    1. If you meet the requirements for the masters program, yes. Full time masters programme gives you little room to continue work. But part time masters programme (if available for your choice course) will allow you to work while you study.

  2. I have credits in maths, English, Yoruba, civic and lit-in-eng. Am I good to go?

  3. i didnt meet the cut off for english language and i want to change it to philosophy but i only meet the catchment for philosophy instead of merit
    what are my chances ?

    1. Your O-level subjects meet the requirements for Philosophy in Unilag. You are good to go Victor.

    1. If you also have maths along with the 4 listed subjects above then you meet the O-level requirements for Philosophy in Unilag.

    1. Dear David you do not meet both the UTME and O-level requirements for Philosophy in Unilag. You need at least one Arts subject in both. Government is not considered an Arts Subject in Unilag.

      Arts subjects include Literature In English, CRS/IRS, Nigerian language, French, Visual art, Fine art, etc.

  14. mathematics B3
    English language C4
    literature in English C6
    Christian religious knowledge B2

    Civic education A1
    government B3
    marketing B3
    Yoruba E8
    and I want to study theatre art or philosophy, are my combinations correct and did I meet the requirements.

    1. Yes your subjects meet the O-level requirements for Philosophy. Use English Language, Mathematics, CRK, Civic, and Government.

  15. thank you very much sir,
    but I thought that I will only make use of four subjects for my jamb combination and post jamb.

    1. In UTME you will write 4 subjects.
      For your O-level subjects you need 5.
      For post UTME every candidate will write English, Mathematics and General Paper.

  16. I have this result

    Data processing B3
    crs A1
    Economics B3
    Government B2
    literature in English E8
    Civic B3
    English B3
    Mathematics A1
    Biology B3.

    can I study philosophy or theater art with this result

    1. You can study philosophy with it. But you because you have only one arts subject (CRS) you cannot study Theatre Art.

  17. Pls I have

    1. No Azeez you are not good to go for social work in Unilag. For your Olevels you need to substitute one of Government, Civic Education or Economics with any of Literature-In-English, CRS/IRS, any Nigerian Language and Biology.

      For your UTME combination you need an Arts subject. Substitute one of Government, Economics or Civic Education with any of Literature-In-English, CRS/IRS, any Nigerian Language and Biology.

    1. Yes Ayomide, every candidate will get to write four subjects in JAMB UTME. The four subjects will depend on the requirements for the course you wish you apply for. So which course do you wish to apply for?

  22. Hi Please i had Economics, Government, Mathematics, English and Geography can i go ahead to study Philosophy in Unilag

    1. No you can’t. You need at lease one ARTS subject. Consider a course in Social Sciences Faculty. How about Geography?

      1. Pls sir what are the jamb requirements for philosophy..
        As in the subjects needed

      2. Plss sir what are the jamb requirements for philosophy in unilag.. as in the subjects

  24. Please sir, for my o’level result I had math C6, English C4, Yoruba B3, Civic B2, C.R.S B3 ,Lit-In-Eng C6 and Government C6 and For my UTME subjects are English, Government, C.R.S and Lit-In-Eng. I scored 226 in my Jamb. Sir hope I can study philosophy in Unilag

    1. Dear Felicia,
      using Maths, English, Yoruba, Civic and CRS your O-level aggregate is 14.8. Your UTME component is 226/8 = 28.25.

      So your current aggregate score is 14.8 + 28.25 = 43.05/70. You must score 20+ over 30 in your post UTME for a good chance at Philosophy in Unilag.

    1. For social work your best subject combination would be Maths C6, English C4, Civic B2, Government C6, and Yoruba/CRS B3 for an aggregate O-level score of 13.6/20. Add 28.25 (226/8) from your UTME and your current aggregate score would be 41.85/70.

      You would need 22+/30 in your post UTME for a good chance at Social Work in Unilag.

  25. Please sir, can you tell me another course I can study with this my subject combination and my mark in which will give me easy admission? Because am really scared of this post UTME and I don’t want anything that will delay my admission this year sir.

For her o’level result Eng c4, math B3 , AccB2, Commerce C4, Gov D7, EconsD7, Yoruba C4, Marketing B3 and Civic B3. And she scored 245 in her UTME. Pls sir can she study social work in Unilag with this her result?

    1. No she can’t study Social Work in Unilag because she does not have Government or Economics.

    Biology c4
    Government c4
    Civic education c4
    Islamic studies b3
    Economic c6
    Literature d7

    1. Dear Babatunde,

      Based on your O-level subjects you should find suitable courses in the faculties of Arts, Social Science, Education and even Business Administration.

      It is not in my place to choose a course for you. However, my advice to you is that you find a course for which you meet the subject requirements and for which the merit cut-off marks in the past 3 years is not more than 65 points.

      Get the LagTutor Android App on Google PlayStore. The app contains the required subject combinations for all undergraduate courses offered in Unilag. See: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lagtutor.android.lagtutorapp

  28. Please this is my subjects combination English, math, literature , civic , islamic studies,and utme English, literature ,commerce , islamic studies,am i good to go for philosophy?

Or should I change my course from philosophy to any related course or I should hold on? Pls sir I need a quick reply!Thanks in advance

    1. Do not change your course unless the portal has offered you another course. Hold on.

  32. Please sir my portal has been showing Aip since 21st of June 2021 and my friend that saw Aip on the 10th of July 2021 has been given admission, but my portal has not changed at all. Sir am scared hope I will be given admission?

  33. pls, can I gain admission into Unilag with this subject combination
    in my jamb english, literature,crs, and govt – result 221

    1. Yes you can. But since your UTME result is relatively low you will need to score very high in your post UTME and your O-level aggregate must be high too.
