WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology

You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology in Nigeria universities. This subject combination is also applicable to other O’level exams such as NECO AND GCE. The O level requirement, that is, the required WAEC subject combination for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology must include:

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

These listed subjects are compulsory for anyone writing WAEC and other O level examinations. I will advise you to include a Language in your O level subjects. For the record, if you are one of those students seeking admission into any universities, college or polytechnics in Lagos State, Yoruba Language is compulsory for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a body responsible for your admission into the University or other institutions. Now I’m going to show you the compulsory JAMB subjects for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology that you must register (English must be included because it is compulsory even though it may not be listed among the JAMB subjects below), and I will honestly advise you to aim for a score of 200 and above in JAMB UTME instead of 180 to be on a safe side because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider the College of Education or Polytechnic… Read how to answer and pass JAMB once.

Please note– If Mathematics is not listed among the Jamb subject on this post, then Mathematics is not compulsory for this course. JAMB is not the only option to gain admission into Nigerian Universities to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology. If you’re having troubles with JAMB UTME, maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree. JAMB UTME subject combination to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology must include:

1. Chemistry
2. Biology
3. Physics

 

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology

If you’re one of those seeking admission into the University to further your studies, in addition to the required WAEC subjects combination for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology, you are expected to have:

(i) ‘A’ level credit in two of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics

(ii) ND Upper Credit in Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology

Can a science or art student study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology?

No! If you are a Commercial or Art student, you can’t study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology at the university. This is a pure science course. But if you are good with Science subjects, you can take your chances I won’t discourage you provided you have the required subjects combination in your O level result. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects to fit your desired course during WAEC registration because some schools may go against it.

Also, during WAEC or NECO registration make sure you know which subjects are been registered for you because some secondary schools are ignorant about the importance of O level requirements for university courses. Another alternative way to register the required subject combinations for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology is through GCE.

Have seen people with crutches and other external or artificial aid to the body Degree in Prothesis and Orthopedic Technology enables you to become an expert who works directly with orthopaedic doctors and surgeons in the treatment of bone and joint injuries.

Some orthopaedic technicians also assist orthopaedic surgeons in the operating room, in the setting of broken bones and the fitting of prosthetic limbs. Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology provides evaluation and production of artificial limbs and orthopaedic braces for the disabled. It provides students with the knowledge of kinesiology and patients counselling to help in the management of injuries that are mostly related to the bones and joints…

 

Special Consideration

Now I am confident that you know the compulsory subjects needed to study Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology in WAEC.

You will know more when you take a look at the special consideration (waiver) for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology below if available. Please take note that when you see Check, it simply means the special consideration for Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology had been merge with a related course to save space.
