Overview

Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), located in Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, is a trailblazing institution. Established in 2005, it is the premier University of Education in Nigeria. TASUED is uniquely structured into specialized Colleges rather than traditional Faculties. It offers specialized dual-degree programs, equipping students with both deep disciplinary knowledge in pure sciences, arts, or management, alongside the pedagogical expertise required to be elite educators.

TASUED operates primarily from its vibrant Ijagun Main Campus. The university provides an immersive academic environment geared toward educational innovation, vocational training, and entrepreneurial development. Students enjoy access to modern teaching laboratories, robust ICT infrastructure, and a proactive student union.

💡 Pro Tip: To secure admission into TASUED, it is mandatory to make the institution your first choice and score at least 160 in the UTME. TASUED uses a Point Grading System instead of a physical exam, meaning your O'Level grades (WAEC/NECO) carry significant weight in calculating your final aggregate. Ensure your results are uploaded to both the TASUED ORVS portal and JAMB CAPS. Additionally, age compliance is strictly enforced—you must be 16 years old by September 30 of your admission year.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must select TASUED as their first choice, score a minimum of 160 in the UTME, and be at least 16 years of age by September 30 of the admission year. Candidates must possess O'Level credits in five (5) relevant subjects at one sitting, or six (6) credits at not more than two sittings. English Language is compulsory for all. Mathematics is compulsory for Science, Vocational, and Social Science courses.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry candidates must choose TASUED as their first choice and possess an NCE with at least Merit in 2 core subjects, an OND/HND with a minimum of Lower Credit, or JUPEB/IJMB/'A' Level passes. DE candidates must complete the online screening and immediately submit physical copies of their Screening Report and Notification of Result to the Admission Office.

Post UTME Screening Format

TASUED conducts a mandatory Online Admission Screening Exercise. There is no physical examination. Candidates are assessed via a Point Grading System using their UTME score and SSCE grades. Candidates must use the Online Result Verification System (ORVS) to fetch and submit their O'Level results, and must also upload them to JAMB CAPS.
