This article is designed to help students who wish to study Building Technology under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Four Ordinary Level credits are fixed here: English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The fifth may come from a long list that includes building and finishing trades.
Bricklaying, concreting, joinery, carpentry and glazing all appear on that list alongside Fine Art and Technical Drawing, which suits candidates coming from technical college.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.
