About Federal University of Technology
The Federal University of Technology (FUTA) is located in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
It was established in 1981 as part of a motivated effort on the part of the Federal government of Nigeria to create specialized universities that produce graduates grounded in both the theoretical and practical aspects of technology.
Admission Requirements for Applied Geophysics
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Applied Geophysics is Five (5) SSCE credits in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry or Biology.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Applied Geophysics at FUTA include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Applied Geophysics if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Chemistry, Physics, or Mathematics.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
Physics and Mathematics Define FUTA Applied Geophysics
Physics and Mathematics appear on every list, while Chemistry and Biology are treated as alternatives at O’level, where the named credits are English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or Biology.
Direct Entry keeps the emphasis on the same group, accepting two A’level or NCE passes in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
The UTME entry lists Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics without stating which three to register, so candidates should confirm the exact combination with the department.
Whatever that combination proves to be, Physics and Mathematics are the safest two to carry forward from the school certificate.
Candidates entering through UTME need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
