What is English Language? Why do candidates go for English Language? is it the passion for the course or the intentional evasion of Mathematics and other calculation courses? what is the reason for the increase in the search for universities that offer English Language? The above questions are still lingering in the minds of many till date.
Truth be told, some students choose courses based on the JAMB approved subject combination requirements and information gotten from people as regards the schools that offer the course. English Language is selected in a bid to evade any subject that involves calculations. many student look for courses like English Language, Sociology, Law and some Art related courses that do not require mathematics.
In this post, you will see the list of schools that offer English Language, the subject combinations, cut off mark as well as the entry requirements for the course.
English Language is a course offered in most tertiary institutions in Nigeria, It is a course under the faculty of Art managed by the Department of English Language. The importance attached to this post is immeasurable as students during their UTME registration, search for the list of universities offering English Language so as to make an informed decision on making a sensible choice based on their catchment area.
