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 by 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 Biochemistry
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Biochemistry is Five (5) SSCE credits in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology or Agricultural Science.
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 Biochemistry at FUTA include English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Agricultural Science.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biochemistry if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require: Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Biology.
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in any 200 or 300-level course at the NCE/HND/OND program.
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.
Agricultural Science Holds at FUTA Biochemistry
Agricultural Science is accepted in place of Biology at both O’level and UTME, which keeps the course open to candidates from agricultural secondary schools.
That allowance stops at Direct Entry, where the subjects named are Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Biology with no agricultural alternative.
Direct Entry also accepts two A’level or NCE passes at 200 or 300 level through an NCE, HND or OND programme, which is the broader of the two options on that route.
The university has a competitive admissions process and does not consider a student’s age, cultural background or religion when deciding whether to admit them. A minimum of 180 and above in JAMB applies for the 2026/2027 session.
