This article is designed to help students who wish to study Fisheries in the faculty of Agriculture at Lagos State University.
Confirm that Fisheries is still listed at LASU before you register for JAMB. A short waiver sits between the JAMB combination and the Direct Entry section, and it names the subjects the university actually wants.
Lagos State University, also known as LASU, was established in 1983 by the enabling Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, for the advancement of learning and establishment of 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 programs, including an MBA program.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Fisheries; You require;
Five SSCE credit passes in Biology/Agric Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English plus any other Science subject and Economics.
Four places are effectively fixed, with Biology and Agricultural Science counting as one. The line then adds a further science subject and Economics.
Economics appearing on a fisheries credit list is unusual, since no other stage of the application mentions it.
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 Fisheries under the Faculty of Agriculture at LASU include;
Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, and any other Science subject.
The general JAMB line fixes Chemistry and a biological subject beside the compulsory English Language, leaving the fourth paper open to any science.
Special Requirement (Waiver) Remarks
- LASU requires Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
The waiver closes that opening. LASU names Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, so Agricultural Science is not accepted in place of Biology on the form and the fourth paper is settled.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Fisheries if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in any of Chemistry, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Agricultural Science, Geography, Mathematics (pure & applied), Physics, Geology, and Economics.
