This page literally covers answers to questions related to O level and A-level requirement to study Education and Chemistry. In other words, the WAEC subject combination (requirements), JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements), Special consideration (waivers) and the required documents for admission into Nigeria universities. In other to help you avoid having difficulties with getting admission in Nigeria Universities, we have some student guide articles that will be of benefit to you. You can ignore.

WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Education and Chemistry

The subjects needed to study Education and Chemistry in WAEC must contain five (5) credit. This subject combination is also applicable to NECO AND GCE… The required WAEC subject combination (O level requirement) for Education and Chemistry must include

Mathematics If you don’t have credit in Mathematics, Click here fast
Chemistry
English Language
Two of Physics, Biology and Agricultural Science

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Education and Chemistry

Knowing JAMB subjects for Education and Chemistry is not enough. You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of that may deny you of 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, HND or Predegree!..

These are JAMB UTME subject combinations (subjects to write in jamb) to study Education and Chemistry

Chemistry
Two other subjects chosen from Physics, Biology and Mathematics

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Education and Chemistry
Two ‘A’ level/NCE passes including Chemistry and one other Science subject

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 other Education and Chemistry similar courses or take 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 or within. Education is now a choice. And please before you make a decision on which University to choose, please consider
