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 Ecology. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study Ecology, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Ecology

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 Ecology 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 Ecology. 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 Ecology must include:

Biology
Chemistry
Any other Science subject

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Ecology

If you’re one of those seeking admission into the University to further your studies, in addition to the required WAEC subjects combination for Ecology, you are expected to have Two ‘A’ level passes in Biology/Botany/Zoology and Chemistry or Physics

If you have your O level result already and the subjects you have is not the same with the admission requirement that is the required O level subject combinations to study Ecology, don’t give up. You should consider other Ecology similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related courses.

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 useful guides on how to choose a course and university

Have you read this?

Can a commercial or an art student study Ecology?

No! If you are a Commercial or an Art student, you cannot study Ecology at the university because it is a pure science course which need a good background in science subjects. To avoid discouragement, you can go for this course if you wish 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 Ecology is through GCE.
