This article is designed to help students who wish to study Dentistry and Dental Technology in the faculty of Medical, and Pharmaceuticals, at Lagos State University.
Confirm that Dentistry and Dental Technology is still listed at LASU before you register for JAMB. The O Level list names every subject, while the JAMB combination leaves one place open.
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 program.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Dentistry and Dental Technology;
You require
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.
All five credits are specified. Mathematics and Physics are both compulsory here even though only one further science is required on the JAMB form.
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 Dentistry and Dental Technology include the following:
Chemistry, Biology, and another Science subject
The JAMB combination fixes Chemistry and Biology beside the compulsory English Language, and leaves the fourth paper open to any science subject.
That choice does not reduce your credit requirement, since Physics and Mathematics are still checked on your result either way.
Direct Entry Requirements
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Dentistry and Dental Technology if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Three (3) ‘A’ level passes to include Chemistry, Biology/Zoology, and Physics.
Direct Entry asks for three A Level passes rather than the usual two, and all three subjects are named. Zoology is accepted in place of Biology.

Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- LAGOS accepts passes in three (3) JUPEB/’A’-level subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
The waiver confirms that JUPEB results are treated on the same footing as A Levels, provided the three subjects are Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
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.
Three A Level Passes for LASU Dentistry and Dental Technology
Chemistry and Biology appear on every list, and the five O Level credits add English Language, Physics and Mathematics with no substitutions permitted.
Direct Entry is heavier than usual at three passes, with JUPEB accepted alongside A Levels. If you are going through UTME instead, secure the five credits and make sure your score reaches 160 for the 2026/2027 session.
