A Building degree covers the study of building materials, techniques, building economics, quantity surveying and property development, among other aspects. A Building degree gives you the knowledge of how to plan, create, maintain and conserve buildings. Professional employment among building graduates is above average and shows that a degree in Building increases a student’s employability. Those who undertake a postgraduate degree in Building also earn a healthy average starting salary.

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Building
You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just an advice) because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic… Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you’re having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND or Predegree. JAMB UTME subject combination (subject to write in jamb) to study Building are

Where can I work with a Degree in Building

I believe you now know the subjects required to study Building. I urge you to also find out where you can work with the degree. Please take your time to read The Act of Getting a Job – so you would know what you’re up against after graduating. The job opportunities that arise from a Building degree are largely based in the construction industry – or at the very least, dealing with the physical world. Examples include:

Quantity Surveyor
Property Developer
Conservationist
Environmental impact auditor.

The SSCE O level and A-level subject needed to study Building have been listed above. Some Universities may accept D7 or E8 in some a compulsory subject instead of Credit. And some may accept or reject two sittings. That is combinations of WAEC, NECO, or GCE results. You will know more when you take a look at the special consideration (waiver) for this course if available. Please take note that when you see Check, it simply means the special consideration for this course had been merge with a related course to save space.
