Urban and Regional Planning at LASU
Built-environment courses often accept a wider mix of science, technical-drawing and geography-related subjects than applicants expect. The important thing for Urban and Regional Planning is to match the exact LASU subject pattern rather than assume that every construction or design course uses the same combination.
What you need before you apply
This page is a course-specific requirement guide, not an admission guarantee. It separates the stable academic requirement from changing items such as screening dates, current cut-off scores and whether an application portal is open.
O’Level requirement
English Language, Mathematics, and any subject from Geography, Biology, Physics, Technical Drawing, Government, Economics
Read that requirement literally. A candidate can have five or more credits and still be ineligible if one compulsory subject is missing or if the result combination falls outside the subjects accepted for this course.
UTME subject combination
as listed in the JAMB Brochure Select a programme of study to view the required
The UTME combination and the O’Level credits solve different parts of eligibility. Meeting one does not cancel a problem with the other. Confirm both before a change of institution or course.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Technical Drawing, Geography, Physics and Mathematics are common requirement subjects, but the exact mix varies.
- Architecture and design routes may include portfolio or placement requirements in addition to academic subjects.
- Direct Entry applicants should confirm whether a related ND/HND must be Upper Credit.
Before paying for an application
- Match every compulsory O’Level subject against the result you will upload.
- Confirm the UTME or Direct Entry route for the current session.
- Check whether the institution must be your first choice before screening.
- Confirm that the programme is currently accepting applications; a permanent course page does not mean the form is open today.
- Use only the institution’s official payment and application portal.
Source note: LASU's current official course-requirements checker states that its programme-specific O'Level and UTME combinations are based on the JAMB Brochure. Direct Entry qualifications remain programme-specific and must also satisfy the current LASU screening route.
Official verification
LAG Institutes uses the official institution source for the academic requirement and keeps short-term admission notices separate. If the institution publishes a newer requirement, the newer official instruction takes priority.

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.
