Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemical Sciences include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
All five credits are named, so this is 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 UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Chemistry and two of Physics, Biology, and Mathematics.
The JAMB combination is where the choice appears. Chemistry is fixed beside the compulsory English Language, and two of Physics, Biology and Mathematics complete the four papers.
Dropping one of those three in JAMB 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 Chemical Sciences if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one of Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
- ND/NCE with good grades in relevant ‘O’ level subjects.
Direct Entry narrows further. Chemistry plus any one of Physics, Mathematics or Biology satisfies the A Level route, and an ND or NCE with good grades in relevant O Level subjects is the alternative.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNICROSS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 140 or above in your JAMB result.
Chemistry Plus Two at UNICROSS Chemical Sciences
Chemistry is the subject that defines this department. It is a compulsory credit, a fixed JAMB paper and a named A Level pass, so no route into the programme avoids it.
Physics, Mathematics and Biology are all required as credits but only two are sat in JAMB and only one at Direct Entry. Check the full credit list first, then clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
