This article sets out what Chemistry asks for in the Faculty of Sciences at Lagos State University, covering the O Level credits, the UTME papers, two Direct Entry routes and the minimum score.
Confirm the course is still listed at LASU before you register for JAMB. Chemistry is compulsory throughout, and the subjects allowed beside it narrow slightly at each stage.
Lagos State University, also known as LASU, was established in 1983 by the enabling Law of Lagos State of Nigeria to advance learning and establish academic excellence.
The university caters to a population of over 35,000 students enrolled full-time. The university also offers courses at Diploma, Undergraduate, and Postgraduate levels. Lagos State University is located in Ojo, a town in Lagos State, Nigeria.
LASU is the only state university in the former British colony. Lagos State University offers diploma, degree, and postgraduate programmes including an MBA programme.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemistry;
You require; Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
All five credits are named, making this the strictest of the three lists. Physics, Mathematics and Biology are each required even though the JAMB form asks for only two of them.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Chemistry under the Faculty of Sciences at LASU include;
Chemistry and two of Physics, Biology, and Mathematics.
On the JAMB form Chemistry is fixed beside the compulsory English Language, and two of Physics, Biology and Mathematics complete the four papers.
Leaving one of those three out of your registration does not remove it from your result sheet, since all five credits are still checked.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Chemistry if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one (1) in Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
- ND/NCE with good grades in relevant ‘O’ level subjects
Direct Entry narrows further still. Chemistry plus any one of Physics, Mathematics or Biology satisfies the A Level route, and an ND or NCE with good grades in relevant subjects is the alternative.
