O’LEVEL REQUIREMENT FOR NURSING SCIENCE
To study Nursing Science, candidates must have five (5) SSC credit passes in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and English Language. Special considerations (waivers) vary across universities. For instance, AAU requires these five credits in one sitting, while IBADAN accepts up to six credits at one or two sittings, including specific subjects like Economics or Geography. NDU and UNN both accept credit passes at no more than two sittings. EUI and LCITY also require five specific credit passes in key subjects.
Other universities have specific requirements: DELSU requires the credits in one sitting, and FUTO and PHC allow up to two sittings for the required credits. ILORIN, ABU, and JABU require five O’ Level credit passes in core subjects, with JABU additionally considering an acceptable pass in their screening exam. These variations highlight the importance of checking the specific admission criteria of your chosen institution.
Prospective students need to familiarize themselves with the exact requirements of the university they wish to apply to, as some institutions may have more flexible admission criteria. In contrast, others may impose stricter conditions regarding the number of sittings allowed for credit passes. Always verify the latest requirements, as these may change over time.

Direct Entry Requirements for Nursing 2025/2026
The Direct Entry requirements for Nursing Science, Public Health, Public Health Technology, and Public & Community Health vary across Nigerian universities. Generally, candidates need two ‘A’ Level passes in Biology/Zoology, Chemistry, and Physics, along with three ‘O’ Level credit passes in Mathematics, Physics, and English Language. Additionally, candidates with a Registered Nurse (RN) qualification or equivalent are required to have five ‘O’ Level credits, including English and science subjects.
Special considerations exist for specific universities. For example, AAU accepts Registered Nurses with one year of post-registration experience, while ABU accepts ‘A’ Level/IJMB passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Other institutions, like Calabar and Lagos, accept HND or ND qualifications in relevant fields, while some universities require a combination of professional nursing qualifications and work experience.
Some universities, such as UNN and DELSU, accept only specific nursing certifications (e.g., RN or RM) for Direct Entry, while others like FUTO and Ibadan may accept a variety of health-related qualifications, including first degrees or diplomas in relevant disciplines. Always check specific university requirements, as they may vary significantly. Read: JAMB Direct Entry Registration Form 2025/2026 for further details.
