Universities Offering History/Int'l Relation: UTME/DE and SSCE Requirements

If you're considering choosing History and International Relations/Studies while registering for JAMB UTME, there is a need to know the list of universities offering that, what SSCE subjects will be required and the right subjects to choose and sit for during the UTME.

Candidates with BSC, HND, ND, NCE and other A'level programmes who are picking up direct entry forms will want to know what JAMB and individual universities will be accepting for DE admissions.

Having this preknowledge will help you decidely rightly form the start. And if need be, you will undertand what is required of you if you're considering changing of institons and courses.

In this post, I will be covering the list of universities that offer History and International Relations/Studies, the 5 WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB subjects you should have and the correct subject combination for the course.
