LASU Film & Multimedia: Current Route Check, Requirements & Screening
Film and Multimedia at Lagos State University (LASU) should be treated as a route that needs current programme-name verification. The existing LAG Institutes record was created from LASU’s official course-requirements checker, and LASU has current academic staff whose specialisation includes Film and Multimedia Studies. However, LASU’s present Foundation programme list does not show a standalone undergraduate programme under the exact title “Film and Multimedia.” Instead, it currently lists related routes such as Cinematography and Theatre and Film Arts.
What the stored LASU requirement says
The synced course record lists English Language, Mathematics and Literature in English, together with accepted Arts or Social Science subjects. That provides useful subject evidence from LASU’s course checker, but applicants should first confirm the exact current degree title before relying on those subjects for an application.
If the present LASU or JAMB interface uses Cinematography, Theatre and Film Arts, Human Communication or another media-related title instead of Film and Multimedia, applicants should use the requirements for the exact route displayed there. Do not force an older database title onto a current admission form.
Why the current route needs verification
LASU clearly has academic expertise in film and multimedia. A current staff profile in the School of Communication identifies Film and Multimedia Studies as a specialisation, and LASU’s communication environment includes departments such as Broadcasting and Public Relations and Advertising. The university’s current Foundation list also includes film-related routes, particularly Cinematography and Theatre and Film Arts.
That evidence supports the academic field, but it does not independently prove that LASU is currently admitting students into a standalone bachelor’s degree carrying the exact title “Film and Multimedia.” This page therefore explains the distinction instead of turning a stored checker record into an unsupported current claim.
Verify the UTME subjects only under the current programme title
The UTME field captured in the earlier sync was incomplete. This guide does not reconstruct it. If Film and Multimedia appears as a current undergraduate route, verify the subject combination on LASU’s live course-requirements checker. If the live route is Cinematography or Theatre and Film Arts, use that programme’s requirement instead.
Related creative-media programmes can overlap in skills and content but still have different admission requirements. Literature in English, Arts subjects and other supporting subjects should be checked under the exact programme selected.
LASU 2026/2027 screening rules
LASU’s official 2026/2027 Admission Screening Portal currently requires UTME candidates to score at least 195, choose LASU as their first-choice institution, upload O’Level results to JAMB CAPS, and use a valid JAMB registration number.
These are general undergraduate screening rules. They do not confirm a standalone Film and Multimedia degree and should not be presented as a departmental admission threshold for that title.
Direct Entry applicants
LASU’s current portal provides Direct Entry screening for candidates with relevant OND, NCE, HND, A-Level or equivalent qualifications. If a current film or multimedia route is available, applicants should verify the accepted qualification and grade under that exact programme.
Qualifications in Mass Communication, Film, Theatre, Broadcasting, Multimedia or related fields may appear relevant, but current programme-specific acceptance must be confirmed. A related diploma does not automatically establish advanced-entry eligibility.
What film and multimedia study can involve
Film and multimedia study can combine storytelling, production, visual communication, sound, editing, digital media and audience analysis. Depending on the route, students may work with scripting, cinematography, directing, post-production, multimedia content and the changing ways audiences consume media.
LASU’s current academic expertise in Film and Multimedia Studies demonstrates that these topics are active within its communication environment. The current Foundation list’s Cinematography and Theatre and Film Arts options also show that film-related undergraduate study remains part of LASU’s academic landscape, even if the exact “Film and Multimedia” label is not currently visible there.
Applicant checklist
- Confirm the exact film/media programme title currently available on LASU/JAMB.
- Do not assume Film and Multimedia, Cinematography and Theatre and Film Arts are identical routes.
- Verify the O’Level requirement for the exact programme selected.
- Use LASU’s live checker for the current UTME combination.
- For 2026/2027, confirm LASU is first choice and your O’Level result is on JAMB CAPS.
- Direct Entry candidates should verify the accepted qualification and grade under the current route.
Official verification
LASU currently has academic staff specialising in Film and Multimedia Studies, while its current Foundation programme list includes Cinematography and Theatre and Film Arts rather than a standalone Film and Multimedia title. This page therefore treats the exact undergraduate route as something applicants should confirm live.

Bottom line: film and multimedia are genuinely represented at LASU, but the exact standalone undergraduate title is not independently confirmed in the current Foundation list. Verify the live programme name first, then verify the admission subjects for that route.
How to use this requirement in the current admission cycle
LASU's course checker gives the programme-specific O'Level and UTME subject pattern, while the current screening portal controls the live admission exercise. For 2026/2027 the screening portal requires LASU as first choice, a minimum UTME score of 195 for UTME candidates, the O'Level result on JAMB CAPS and the appropriate UTME/Direct Entry category. Treat the course requirement and the screening rule as two separate checks: you need both.
Before a change of course, compare your actual result line by line with the compulsory subjects. Do not assume a higher UTME score repairs a missing O'Level subject, and do not assume an ND, HND, NCE or JUPEB qualification accepted by one department is accepted by another. Where the Direct Entry paragraph is broad, use the current JAMB brochure and the institution's screening portal before submitting credentials.
