Pharmacy at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) requires a complete science background with no substitutions available at O’Level. All five credits are named, and none of them can be swapped for another subject.
The Direct Entry route is heavier here than on most UNILAG pages, asking for three advanced level passes rather than two and still requiring the UTME conditions to be met alongside them.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) is a federal government research university in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The school has maintained one of the most competitive in the country regarding admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student population sizes of any university in the country.

Three A Levels and Five Fixed Credits for UNILAG Pharmacy
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Every slot is named, so a candidate missing any one of the five has no alternative to offer.
The section headed JAMB Subject Combination on this page repeats that same O’Level line rather than listing UTME subjects. Candidates should confirm the actual JAMB combination with the department before registering.
Direct Entry is unusually demanding. Three ‘A’ level passes are required in Chemistry, Biology or Zoology, and Physics or Mathematics, and the UTME requirements must still be satisfied in addition.
Zoology appearing as an alternative to Biology is the only substitution anywhere on the page, and it applies at advanced level only.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. Pharmacy is among the most contested programmes, so that figure is a floor rather than a realistic target.
