Universities That Accept Pass In English (D7/E8)

Some universities accept pass in English Language for admission into their courses. Many admission seekers want to know the Universities that D7 or E8 in English for some of their programmes. This article will give you that information in details. If you have any questions, head to our forum.

They want to know courses that do not “require” English. By require, I mean courses that do not ask for at least a CREDIT in English language (E8 or D7, not talking about F9).

This is because, every year, a large percentage of students that attempt WAEC fail to get a credit pass in English or Mathematics or both.

So many have asked, is it possible to gain admission into a school, especially University, with a pass in English Language? The answer is yes as you are about to find out.

Getting Admission Into University With Pass In English Language

This post will share with you courses that you can study with a pass in English Language in Universities. It will also include the institutions that offer them and other requirements for such courses. This is going to be a very lengthy post, so, fasten your seat belt and let us enjoy the ride together.

These are the questions we are going to be answering in this section of the post. Many candidates seeking admission ask this question every year because they just want to get admission.

Let me tell you this, if you don’t like any of the courses listed here, please don’t go and apply for it just because you want admission. Your friends might have gained admission but don’t let that frustrate you into choosing a course you don’t truly like. You might regret it in the future.
