Yes — you can still study Criminology and Security Studies at Bamidele Olumilua University Of Education, Science and Technology (BOUEST) even with your subject combination, but you must meet all the official requirements.
Here’s how it breaks down:
---
JAMB UTME Subject Combination (What You Should Have Chosen)
The typical approved UTME subjects for Criminology and Security Studies are:
1. English Language (compulsory)
2. Economics
3. Government or History
4. Any one of the following:
Literature in English
Christian Religious Studies (CRS) / Islamic Studies
Geography
History
So your combination (English, Government, Literature, CRS) is acceptable in general for the course, as long as you had English + three others from the list above.
---
O’Level (WAEC/NECO) Requirements
To secure admission, you must have credit passes in at least five subjects including:
English Language
Mathematics
Economics
Government or History
One other social science/arts subject (like Literature or CRS)
So if you already have five credits including those subjects, your O’Level is fine.

Can You Study It With Your Combination?
Yes — your JAMB subject combination (English, Government, Literature, CRS) is valid for Criminology and Security Studies in many Nigerian universities, including BOUEST — as long as:
You took English Language (must)
You included Government
Your third and fourth subjects are from the approved list (Literature and CRS are acceptable options)
---
Important Note
Some universities may prefer Economics or Mathematics among the subjects, but most will accept your combination if you meet the full requirements.
Always confirm specific BOUEST admission requirements from the school’s official bulletin or admission office.
---
Bottom Line
Your subject combination is acceptable for Criminology and Security
You can proceed with your JAMB registration and application
Just ensure you also meet the O’Level credit pass requirement.
