Medical Laboratory Science at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) sits in the Faculty of Medical, Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences. Its entry conditions are among the most closed on the whole admissions list, with almost nothing left to the candidate.
The University of Lagos is a federal government research university in Lagos State, southwestern Nigeria. Its JAMB threshold is applied across departments rather than set course by course, so the figure quoted here is institutional.
The university has remained one of the most competitive in the country regarding admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student populations of any university in the country.
The sections below set out the requirements candidates must meet to study Medical Laboratory Science at the University of Lagos, covering O’level subject combination, JAMB Score and Post UTME Score, and departmental cut-Off mark.
To study Medical Laboratory, candidates must meet the following requirements.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below are the O’level subjects needed for Medical Laboratory Science in the Faculty/College of MEDICAL/PHARMACEUTICAL/HEALTH SCIENCES;
- Five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

Direct Entry Requirement for Medical Laboratory Science
Below is the Direct Entry requirement for Medical Laboratory Science in the Faculty/College of MEDICAL/PHARMACEUTICAL/HEALTH SCIENCES;
- ‘A’ level passes to include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Zoology.
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.
Nothing Is Optional in UNILAG Medical Laboratory Science
The O’Level requirement names all five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. There is no free slot, so a candidate missing any one of the five has no substitute to offer.
The UTME combination repeats three of those subjects. English Language is compulsory, and Physics, Chemistry and Biology fill the remaining places. Mathematics drops out at this stage but is still required at O’Level.
Direct Entry introduces the only real alternative on the page. ‘A’ level passes must include Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with Zoology accepted in place of Biology at that level.
The JAMB score requirement is 200 and above. It is stated as a University of Lagos condition applying to any department, which means Medical Laboratory Science candidates are measured against the same institutional floor as everyone else.
Taken together, the three routes reward candidates who completed a full science track. A strong score will not compensate for a missing Chemistry or Biology credit here.
