Microbiology 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.
Chemistry and Biology are the two subjects this course assumes throughout. Both are compulsory O’Level credits, both are named JAMB papers, and both appear in the Direct Entry requirement.
All five O’Level credits are named, so the only real choice a candidate makes is the fourth UTME paper.
