Is Physics Education a good course in Nigeria and what is the salary?

Yes, Physics Education is a good course in Nigeria though with limited job roles to explore. There is no standard salary for any job in Nigeria. It depends on where you get the job. The salary range for Physics Education teachers in Nigeria is between 36k to 200k per month

A Physics Education degree is competitive and quite popular amongst students in secondary school. From our records, 62 Nigerian universities offer this degree course.

So while you are here to get information on the O level subject combination for Physics Education, we also expect you consider the total number of students currently studying Physics Education and the employment rate we will show you below so that you will know what you are up against when you choose to study this course.

We have some student guide articles that will be of benefit to you.

WAEC Subject Combination For Physics Education

In WAEC, NECO or GCE, you are expected to register a maximum of 9 subjects for a Physics Education degree. You can register for less than 9 subjects if you are resitting.

However, you must have at least 5 credit passes amongst the 9 subjects listed below before you can gain admission into any Nigerian university to study for a Physics Education degree.

Remember, the requirement you’re about to read is also applicable to all o level examinations. (WAEC, NECO and GCE). We have painstakingly highlighted (in red) the core subjects on which you must obtain credit before gaining admission. Any subject with blue colour means, a pass is allowed.

If you fail one of the core subjects, you should read through each university’s special requirements for this course below to see if there is a university that may accept another subject in lieu of the one you failed. The 9 WAEC/NECO/GCE subject combinations for Physics Education are:

  1. English Language
  2. Mathematics
  3. Civic Education
  4. Chemistry
  5. Biology
  6. Physics
  7. Agriculture/Geography
  8. Any Nigerian Language
  9. A Trade subject

If you have your O level result already and the subjects you have is not the same as the admission requirement that is the required O level subject combinations to study Physics Education, don’t give up. You should consider other Physics Education similar courses or 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 read valuable guides on how to choose a course and university

 

JAMB subject combination for Physics Education

For this degree, you are also required to register for 4 subjects and English is compulsory. More so, your JAMB score in addition to your POST UTME score will determine the cumulative score that the university will use to decide your candidacy for admission.

You should score 190 or above in JAMB to stand a better chance of gaining admission to study Physics Education. You can still gain admission if you score between 170-180 upward but you do not stand a chance with those who had scored higher. Try out JAMB Admission Simulator.

The 4 JAMB subject combination for Physics Education is:

  1. English
  2. Chemistry
