Computer Science is taught in the Faculty of Sciences at Lagos State University. This page covers the O’Level credits LASU asks for, the UTME subject combination, the two Direct Entry options, the LASU waiver remark and the JAMB score.
Mathematics is the subject to get right. It is a named O’Level credit, a named UTME paper, and it appears in both Direct Entry options, so there is no route into this course that works without it.
LASU was established in 1983 by an enabling Law of Lagos State to advance learning and academic excellence. It stands in Ojo and remains the only state university in the former British colony, with over 35,000 full-time students.
The university offers diploma, degree and postgraduate programmes, including an MBA. The requirements below apply to the regular undergraduate entry route into Computer Science.

O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Science; You require
Five (5) SSCE credit passes include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and two other science subjects.
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 Computer Science under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;
Mathematics, Physics and any one of Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics, and Geography
Direct Entry Requirements
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Computer Science if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in science subjects, including Mathematics.
- NCE merit in Mathematics and one (1) other Science or Social Science subject
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- LASU accepts A’ Level Passes in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
Jamb Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into LASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 160 or above in your JAMB result.
Mathematics Is the Gate Into LASU Computer Science
Your O’Level file needs five SSCE credit passes. English Language, Mathematics and Physics are named, and two other science subjects complete the five. That leaves only two flexible slots.
The UTME combination keeps Mathematics and Physics fixed alongside compulsory English Language. The third paper may be any one of Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics or Geography, which is unusually wide for a science course.
Direct Entry offers two routes. Two A level passes in science subjects including Mathematics, or an NCE merit in Mathematics with one other Science or Social Science subject. The LASU waiver also accepts A level passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
Check your Mathematics and Physics grades first, confirm the two extra science credits, and make sure your JAMB score sits at 160 or above before LASU screening opens.
