Marine Biology 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 one of the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.
Biology and Chemistry run through every route into this department. They are O’Level credits, they are JAMB papers, and they are the only two A level subjects named for Direct Entry.
That consistency makes the course easy to prepare for. A candidate strong in those two subjects has a straightforward path, while one without them has none at all.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below is the O’level Requirement for Marine Biology (UTME CANDIDATES)
Five (5) SSC credit passes to include English, Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and any other Science subject.
JAMB Subject Combination
English Language(*), Biology, Chemistry & Physics or Mathematics.

- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Biology and Chemistry.
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.
Biology and Chemistry Carry UNILAG Marine Biology
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes covering English Language, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry, plus any other Science subject.
Physics is the natural choice for that fifth slot, because it also appears as an option in the JAMB combination and lets one subject serve at both stages.
The JAMB papers are English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and then either Physics or Mathematics. Both of those alternatives are already in your O’Level set.
Direct Entry is the shortest section on the page. Two A level passes in Biology and Chemistry, with no NCE or diploma alternative offered for this department.
The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Given how competitive admission here is, treat that figure as the floor rather than the target.
