Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Software Engineering
Crescent University’s 2026/2027 ICT announcement includes these three programmes alongside Computer Science.
| ICT programme | Entry levels advertised for 2026/2027 |
|---|---|
| Artificial Intelligence | 100 Level only |
| Computer Science | 100 Level and Direct Entry into 200 Level |
| Cyber Security | 100 Level and Direct Entry into 200 Level |
| Software Engineering | 100 Level and Direct Entry into 200 Level |
Artificial Intelligence is advertised with a scholarship opportunity. See the Crescent University ICT admission announcement for the programme-specific notice and enquiry contacts.
O’Level requirements
Crescent University requires at least five relevant credits in SSCE, GCE, NECO or an accepted equivalent, obtained in no more than two sittings. English Language and Mathematics are compulsory under its general admission requirements.
The other three subjects depend on the course. Having five credits is therefore only useful when the subjects match the programme you want to study.
Nursing Science, Anatomy and Physiology
The university’s College of Health Sciences specifies credits in these five subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
These are O’Level requirements. Applicants must separately meet the UTME subject combination and score requirements for their programme.
Nursing leads to the Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc.). The department lists a five-year programme for UTME entrants and four years for Direct Entry entrants.
Requirements for other courses
The university’s general undergraduate page does not provide a complete course-by-course table of O’Level subjects and UTME combinations. For Law, Architecture, computing, business and other programmes, use the institution-specific entry in JAMB IBASS to check the exact subjects.
This is particularly important when comparing related courses. A subject combination accepted for one programme may not qualify an applicant for another.
How to check your JAMB subject combination
Use the JAMB Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System to check the requirements attached to Crescent University and your chosen course.
Look for three separate parts of the course entry:
| Requirement | What to check |
|---|---|
| O’Level subjects | Required credit subjects, permitted alternatives and any sitting restrictions |
| UTME subjects | The subjects required for the intended programme |
| Special consideration or waiver | Any additional condition or exception specifically listed for Crescent University |
For Direct Entry, also check the accepted qualifications and grades. Keep the course and institution together when checking eligibility; a general requirement for a course may have an institution-specific exception.
Crescent University cut-off marks for 2026/2027
The university’s 2026/2027 admission notice gives the following minimum UTME scores:
| Programme group | Minimum UTME score |
|---|---|
| General undergraduate admission | 150 |
| Law | 180 |
| Nursing Science | 180 |
These are application thresholds. Applicants must also satisfy their course requirements and complete screening.
The university’s standing undergraduate webpage still displays a general score of 180. The figures above follow the session-specific 2026/2027 admission notice reproduced by Myschool, which distinguishes the general threshold from Law and Nursing.
Direct Entry requirements
Direct Entry provides an admission route for applicants with relevant qualifications beyond O’Level.
Crescent University’s undergraduate admission page lists relevant diploma and NCE qualifications, A’Level passes and IJMB among the routes considered. Applicants must also meet the O’Level requirements and pass the university’s interview.
The university states Upper Credit for its general diploma route, while allowing consideration of some Lower Credit ND and HND holders. The qualification must be relevant to the intended degree; the existence of a Direct Entry route does not establish that every diploma is accepted for every course.
For 2026/2027, the ICT announcement specifically offers 200 Level entry into Computer Science, Cyber Security and Software Engineering. Artificial Intelligence is advertised for 100 Level entry only.
Can you apply with awaiting results?
Yes. Crescent University’s admission information allows candidates awaiting O’Level results to apply.
Applicants still need the required credits for admission. An awaiting-result application does not remove the course’s subject requirements.
Can you apply if Crescent University was not your first choice?
Yes. Eligible applicants who initially selected another institution can apply after completing the required JAMB change of institution to Crescent University as first choice.
The change of institution and the university application are separate steps. Candidates must also complete Crescent University’s screening process.
How to apply
Visit the Crescent University application page and select the appropriate undergraduate admission route. Follow the instructions provided for the application form, supporting documents and screening.
Before choosing a programme, review the Crescent University school fees guide alongside the current fee information supplied by the university.
