Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Pharmacy include the following:
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Pharmacy if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Three (3) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry, Biology/Zoology, and Physics or Mathematics plus UTME requirements
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIJOS does not accept Mathematics for Physics.
- UNIJOS accepts B.Sc second class and above in related programs. It accepts Direct Entry candidates with ‘A’ level requirements plus five (5) ‘O’ level credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
That rules out one of the options above. The general line allows Physics or Mathematics as your third A level, but UNIJOS requires Physics specifically.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIJOS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a minimum score of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
The Physics Rule Behind UNIJOS Pharmacy Direct Entry
The science requirement is fixed from the start. Five SSCE credit passes are needed in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and the UTME combination is English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Direct Entry asks for three A level passes in Chemistry, Biology or Zoology and Physics, and UNIJOS will not accept Mathematics in place of Physics. A B.Sc at second class or above in a related programme is also accepted, and the minimum JAMB score is 180.
