This page contains official WAEC and JAMB subject combination (admission requirements) for Statistics, including the List of Nigeria Universities Offering this Course, A level requirements and much more…
- JAMB officially classified this course under Faculty/School/College of Science .
- Probable Degree type – (B.Sc. & B. Tech)
You must be a Science student with a good background in Science subjects for you to study this course in Nigeria Universities, and that’s can only be possible if you meet admission requirements. This page literally covers answers to questions related to O level and A-level admission requirement.
That is, the WAEC subject combination (requirements), JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements), Direct Entry requirements, Special consideration (waivers) and the required screening documents for admission into Nigeria universities. In other to help you avoid having difficulties with getting admission in Nigeria Universities, we have some post that will be of benefit to you. You can always ignore!

WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Statistics
You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Statistics in Nigeria universities.
The required subject combination (o level requirement for Statistics) must include;
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Three subjects from Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Further Mathematics, Economics and Geography
- 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 Statistics, let also look at UTME and Direct requirements and course descriptions.
JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Statistics
Prepare yourself well so you can score above 200 in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just an 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 (subject to write in jamb) to study Statistics are
- Mathematics
- Any two of Physics, Chemistry and Economics
Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Statistics
Two ‘A’ level passes to include Mathematics or Statistics.
NCE (credit) in relevant subjects.
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

Course description: Statistics is the study of the collection, organisation, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. A statistician is someone who is particularly well versed in the ways of thinking necessary for the successful application of statistical methods. Such people have often gained experience by working in any of a wide number of fields. There is also a discipline called Mathematics and Statistics that studies statistics mathematically.
What do statisticians do The world is becoming quantitative. More and more professions, from the every day to the exotic, depending on data and numerical reasoning. Data are not just numbers, but numbers that carry information about a specific setting and need to be interpreted in that setting. With the growth in the use of data comes a growing demand for the services of statisticians, who are experts in the following: – Producing trustworthy data – Analysing data to make their meaning clear – Drawing practical conclusions from data
Where can I work with a Degree in Statistics
I believe you now know the subjects required to study Statistics. 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. Career opportunities include;
- Medicine
- Industry
- Government
- Survey Market research
