The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, often called UNN, is a prestigious federal university in Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria.
The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various disciplines, including arts, sciences,1 engineering, medicine, law, and education.
As one of the best universities in Nigeria, admission to the school is highly competitive, and one of the requirements is to apply with the correct subject combination at both your JAMB and O’level.
For this reason, I have decided to compile the subject combinations for each department at UNN to help you with your application.
