Ummah University O’Level Requirements

According to the official admissions page, applicants must have:

  • At least five credit passes.
  • Credits in English Language and Mathematics.
  • The other subjects required for their intended course.
  • Results from WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or an approved equivalent examination.
  • Results obtained in no more than two sittings.

Five credits alone do not establish eligibility. Your subjects must also match the programme you want to study.

The general page allows up to two sittings, but it does not explain every possible combination of examination bodies or programme-specific exception. Confirm these details if they affect your application.

UTME Requirements

UTME applicants must choose Ummah University as their first-choice institution. Candidates who selected another institution may need to complete a JAMB change of institution.

Applicants must also meet the university’s approved cut-off mark, have the required UTME subject combination and participate in screening where applicable.

What Is Ummah University’s Cut-Off Mark?

A numerical cut-off mark is not stated on the admissions page reviewed.

The university requires applicants to meet its approved threshold, but that wording does not establish a particular score. Confirm the requirement for your intended course before applying.

What Are the JAMB Subject Combinations?

The individual course pages checked do not give exact UTME subject combinations. They refer applicants to the university’s general requirements and applicable admission rules.

This means a course-by-course subject table cannot yet be presented as UMUN’s confirmed requirements.

Before selecting or changing a course, ask the Admissions Office to confirm:

  1. The required UTME subjects.
  2. The five required O’Level subjects.
  3. Whether your result combination is accepted.
  4. Any additional screening condition.

Direct Entry Requirements

UMUN lists the following qualifications for Direct Entry consideration:

  • National Diploma (ND).
  • Higher National Diploma (HND).
  • Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE).
  • IJMB.
  • JUPEB.
  • Cambridge A-Level.
  • Other qualifications recognised by JAMB and the university.

Direct Entry applicants must also satisfy the O’Level requirements.

The published list does not mean every qualification is accepted for every course. UMUN’s public admissions page does not specify minimum diploma classifications, A-Level points, relevant subject combinations or entry levels for individual programmes.

For example, an ND holder should confirm whether their diploma discipline is relevant to the intended degree and what classification is required.

Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science and Public Health

UMUN lists three health-related undergraduate programmes:

ProgrammeListed duration
Nursing Science5 years
Medical Laboratory Science5 years
Public Health4 years

The Nursing Science and Medical Laboratory Science pages refer to requirements involving the relevant professional councils, alongside JAMB and the NUC. However, they do not provide a detailed subject-by-subject admission checklist.

Applicants should therefore obtain programme-specific confirmation rather than assuming the general five-credit requirement answers every eligibility question.

A programme appearing on a university website should also not be treated as independent evidence of its current professional accreditation status.

Computing Courses at Ummah University

UMUN lists six computing-related courses:

  • Artificial Intelligence.
  • Computer Science.
  • Cyber Security.
  • Information Systems.
  • Information Technology.
  • Software Engineering.

All six are listed as four-year programmes.

When comparing them, read the individual programme descriptions in the university’s course directory. Similar course names do not necessarily mean identical study content or admission requirements.

Does Ummah University Offer Medicine or Law?

Medicine and Surgery and Law are not included in the 16-course directory reviewed for this guide.

Applicants interested in either programme should obtain a current official confirmation before applying or making payments. Nursing Science and Medical Laboratory Science are separate programmes from Medicine and Surgery.
