WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Medical Laboratory Science

You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Medical Laboratory Science in Nigeria universities.

The required subject combination must include:

1. English Language
2. Physics
3. Mathematics
4. Chemistry
5. Biology
6. A trade subject

The above WAEC subject combination is also applicable to other O’level examinations such as NECO and GCE. So now that you know the compulsory O level requirement to study Medical Laboratory Science, let also look at UTME and Direct requirements and course descriptions.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Medical Laboratory Science

Prepare yourself well so you can score above 200 in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of this score may deny you 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 combinations (subjects to write in jamb) to study Medical Laboratory Science are

1. Chemistry
2. Biology
3. Physics

 

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Medical Laboratory Science

(i)Two ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry, Biology and Physics or Zoology

 

If for some reasons you are not satisfied or cannot meet up with this admission requirement that is the subject combination above, perhaps you should consider taking a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements. You can also study online with a foreign university right from your bedroom or apply for a scholarship to study abroad. Education is now a choice. And please before you make a decision on which University to choose, please consider

• The Fees
• The Distance
• The Environment
• The Degree Certificate
• Vulnerability to Strike
• Acceptable O Level and A-level Result
• Academic Calendar

Cut-off Mark for Medical Laboratory Science

As you can see above, there are over 21 Universities offering Medical Laboratory Science. This means the cut-off mark for this Medical Laboratory Science varies. You can check these universities JAMB UTME cut off marks here. Medical Laboratory Science is a good course but not among the top best science courses. This should not influence you. Follow your heart or seek my counsel.

 

Medical Laboratory Science is how many years course?

Medical Laboratory Science is a four to five years course

 

Medical Laboratory Science is under which faculty?

Medical Laboratory Science is under the Faculty/School/College of Medical, Pharmaceutical and Health Science.

 

What is Medical Laboratory Science course all about: 

Medical Laboratory Science is taught under five disciplines: Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Medical Microbiology, Histopathology and Immunology including Instrumentation and Pharmacology. You will learn how to use sophisticated medical equipment to analyze biological fluids, blood, urine, cerebra-spinal fluid, secretions, excretions, or tissue samples for bacterial infection, hormone levels, and other chemical components affecting human health. The student also at the end of the course acquires the expertise to fabricate new equipment or repair or modify existing ones, refine old techniques or introduce new diagnostic procedures..

 

Special Consideration
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.
