Zoology is taught in the Faculty of Sciences at Lagos State University. This page covers the O’Level credits, the UTME combination, the two LASU waiver remarks and the JAMB score needed to reach screening.
Biology anchors the course, but the two waiver remarks are what actually shape an application here. Both of them bring Chemistry and Physics into a requirement list that does not otherwise name either subject.
The university offers diploma, degree and postgraduate programmes, including an MBA. The requirements below apply to the regular undergraduate route into Zoology.
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 Zoology; You require;
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, and two (2) other science subjects.
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- LASU requires chemistry plus at least a pass in Physics.
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 Zoology under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;
Biology and any two (2) of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- LASU accepts Chemistry and Biology/Botany/Zoology plus a pass in Physics.
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.
Chemistry and Physics Decide a LASU Zoology Application
The general O’Level line asks for five credits in English Language, Mathematics, Biology and two other science subjects. The LASU remark then names which two, requiring Chemistry and at least a pass in Physics.
That remark is the version to plan around, because it turns an open choice into a specific one. A candidate with Agricultural Science and Further Mathematics as their extra sciences would satisfy the general line but not the LASU condition.
The UTME section works the same way. The general line asks for Biology and any two of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, while the LASU remark accepts Chemistry with Biology, Botany or Zoology, plus a pass in Physics.
Both waiver remarks are school-specific and both point the same way. Chemistry is effectively compulsory and Physics is needed at least at pass level.
The JAMB screening threshold at LASU is 160. Check your Chemistry credit and your Physics grade before registration, since those are the two the waivers turn on.
