Geophysics is offered at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). This page sets out the O’Level credits for UTME candidates, the JAMB subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.
UNILAG is a federal government research university in Lagos State, in south western Nigeria. It remains among the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions, and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.
Physics is the constant across all three requirement lists on this page. It is a compulsory O’Level credit, a named JAMB paper, and one of the two A level options for Direct Entry.
Chemistry and Biology move around more. The O’Level rule treats them as alternatives, while the JAMB combination names Chemistry outright and offers Biology only as an option.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below is the O’level Requirement for GEOPHYSICS (UTME CANDIDATES)
Five (5) SSC credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry/Biology.
JAMB Subject Combination
English Language(*), Physics, Chemistry, and any one of Biology or Mathematics.
Direct Entry Requirement For Geophysics
- ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and Physics or Mathematics.

JAMB Score
For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
Reading the Chemistry and Biology Options in UNILAG Geophysics
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics and then either Chemistry or Biology.
The JAMB combination is different in an important way. English Language is compulsory, Physics and Chemistry are both named, and the fourth paper is Biology or Mathematics.
A candidate who chose Biology rather than Chemistry at O’Level therefore still needs Chemistry as a JAMB paper. Reading the two lists side by side avoids that trap.
Direct Entry is brief. A level passes in Chemistry and either Physics or Mathematics, with no NCE or diploma alternative listed for this department.
The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Secure your Physics credit first, then decide which side of the Chemistry and Biology choice your results actually support.
