American University of Nigeria Post-UTME 2025: Requirements and Application Guide

American University of Nigeria has announced Post-UTME and Direct Entry admission requirements for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Prospective students must meet specific academic thresholds to qualify for consideration in AUN's competitive admission process.

Minimum Entry Requirements

JAMB candidates need a minimum UTME score of 160, or whichever official cut-off JAMB establishes for the year if higher. This score represents the baseline for application eligibility, not a guarantee of admission.

All applicants must possess five O'Level credit passes including English Language and Mathematics. These credits can come from WAEC, NECO, or equivalent examinations, obtained across not more than two sittings.

Program-Specific Requirements

Engineering and Technology programs require credit-level passes in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, and Chemistry. This stronger science background reflects the mathematical and analytical demands of engineering disciplines.

Law (LLB) applicants need the standard five credits plus an additional credit in Literature-in-English. This requirement recognizes the reading comprehension and language analysis skills essential for legal studies.

Application Process

AUN accepts applications through online and manual submission methods. The online portal at the university's website allows electronic form completion and document upload.

Students preferring manual application can mail completed forms with supporting documents to AUN's admissions offices in either Yola or Abuja.

Required documents typically include:

• JAMB UTME result or Direct Entry credentials
• O'Level result statements (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent)
• Birth certificate or age declaration
• Recommendation letters
• Passport photographs
• State of origin certificate

Understanding AUN's Admission Process

Meeting minimum requirements qualifies you for consideration but doesn't guarantee admission. AUN operates competitively, selecting candidates based on comparative performance within the applicant pool.

Strong JAMB scores, excellent O'Level grades, and compelling application materials improve your chances. The university values well-rounded candidates who demonstrate academic potential and personal qualities aligned with AUN's educational philosophy.

Next Steps

Monitor AUN's official website and communication channels for application deadline announcements and detailed fee information. Universities typically publish comprehensive admission guides as the application period approaches.

Prepare required documents early. Obtaining official transcripts and recommendation letters often takes longer than expected, so start gathering materials well before deadlines.

For students preparing for JAMB to meet AUN's requirements, Ulearngo provides practice tests and study materials.
