Political Science
As a political science graduate, you’ll be prepared for career opportunities in areas such as politics, the non-profit sector, and the business world.
Political Science
Start date: September 2024
Duration: 4 years full-time
Course Overview
Political scientists ask questions such as: What causes conflict in societies? Can government policy impact social inequality? What is liberty?
Political science is the study of conflict and cooperation within societies. In order to make sense of the political world, political scientists investigate concepts such as justice, liberty, representation and democracy. During the course of your studies, you’ll gain statistical analysis skills, research capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and knowledge of the international political community.
As a political science graduate, you’ll be prepared for career opportunities in areas such as politics, the non-profit sector, and the business world. A degree in political science can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.

Admission Requirements
Candidates seeking admission into a Nigerian University should ensure that his/her JAMB result (score), Post UTME score, and WAEC grade is good, especially in the computer science subjects combinations.
Nigerian tertiary institutions now calculate your O’level results (either Waec, NECO, GCE), your JAMB score and Post UTME score, to determine whether you’re qualified or not. When all these are calculated, the aggregate score is what determines whether you are eligible for admission to study Computer Science.
Better still, candidates who got their O’level result (Waec, Neco, GCE) in one sitting have a better chance of getting admitted into their chosen institution to study Computer Science than those who are using two sittings (Combination of Waec, Neco, or GCE result).
| Level | Requirements |
|---|---|
| 'O' LEVEL | When we say O’level requirements, O’level means either your (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) results. The Waec, Neco, and GCE result requirements for Computer Science (UTME CANDIDATES) are as follows: All UTME candidates are required to score at least, five (5) SSC credit passes in the following subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Physics, plus two (2) other science subjects (Chemistry, Agric, Economics, Geography, etc). |
| JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE. | English Language (This subject is compulsory for all UTME/DE Candidates), Mathematics, Physics You can choose one subject from any of these: Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics and Geography. (However, you should check out some Universities special Waivers.) |
| 'A' LEVEL | ‘A’ Level passes in science subjects including Mathematics. NCE merit in Mathematics and one (1) other Science or Social Science subject. |
