If however, 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 Radiography are:

  • Mathematics

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 Radiography, don’t give up. You should consider other Radiography similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements.

Have you read this?

Can a science or art student study Radiography?

No! If you are a Commercial or Art student, you can’t study Radiography degree course 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 Radiography is through GCE.

What is Radiography course all about?: 

Another name for Radiography is Diagnostic Imaging. A student who studies Radiography is equipped with the knowledge of how to diagnose and treat various types of illness using powerful technologies such as radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and positron emission tomography.

Radiographers are able to interpret medical images produced by these machines. Diagnostic radiographers also work closely with medical practitioners with or without supervision in a wide range of clinical settings…..
