JAMB Subject Combination for Geophysics 2025/2026
The O’Level requirements for various programs generally include English Language and a combination of subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Some universities have specific subject requirements and waivers. For example, OAU requires Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, while CALABAR does not accept Biology.
FUPRE specifies Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, and FED-OYE EKITI accepts either Chemistry or Biology alongside Physics and Mathematics. OSUSTECH requires Physics, Mathematics, and one of Chemistry, Biology, or Geography, while FUTA also requires Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
For Geophysics programs, candidates are expected to have five SSC credit passes, including English, Mathematics, Physics, and either Chemistry or Biology. OAU demands additional credit passes in Chemistry, Biology/Further Mathematics, and Physics.
Other institutions like BAUCHI recommend Geography as an advantage, while FUPRE emphasizes Biology alongside Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. FUTA allows up to two sittings for the required five subjects, including Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and any one of Biology, Geography, or Technical Drawing.
In terms of specific institutional requirements, WESLEYUNI prefers Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Agricultural Science. FED-OYE EKITI accepts five credits, including the core subjects, while LAGOS and MOUNTAIN TOP both require English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, with MOUNTAIN TOP also allowing subjects like Further Mathematics, Biology, Agricultural Science, or Geography.
Similarly, ILORIN requires credit passes in key subjects like Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, with an additional choice from Further Mathematics, Biology, or Geography. FED-KASHERE requires the same core subjects, with an additional credit in either Further Mathematics, Geography, or Biology.
Direct Entry Subject Combination for Geophysics 2025/2026
The A’ Level requirements for Geophysics programs typically include passes in Chemistry and Physics or Mathematics. However, each institution has its specific requirements and waivers.
OAU requires A’ Level passes in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, and also accepts an HND upper credit in Mining Engineering alongside UTME requirements. CALABAR accepts similar requirements for Physics, while BAUCHI specifies A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics, with an additional advantage given to candidates with a pass in Geology.
LAUTECH accepts A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics, or an ND upper credit/HND in Physics, along with UTME requirements for admission to the 200 level. FUTA offers two options: an ND upper credit or equivalent in Geophysics, Geology, Mining, Civil, or Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or A’ Level passes in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry with at least C grades at one sitting.
FED-OYE EKITI requires two A’ Level passes in Physics, Mathematics, or Chemistry, while OSUSTECH demands two A’ Level passes in Physics and Chemistry or Geography, or an ND distinction/credit in relevant programs.
LAGOS accepts very good passes in three JUPEB/A’ Level subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. MOUNTAIN TOP requires an ND Upper Credit or equivalent, G.C.E. A’ Level passes in at least two science subjects including Physics and Mathematics, or a Foundation/JUPEB obtained from Mountain Top University or another recognized institution.
FUPRE mandates two A’ Level passes in Chemistry and Physics or Mathematics, while FED-KASHERE accepts two A’ Level passes in any combination of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or Geography. It also accepts an Upper Credit in ND/NCE in Physics or a related discipline, or 10 points in IJMB in Mathematics, Physics, and one additional subject.
ILORIN accepts A’ Level passes in Physics, Mathematics, and one of Chemistry or Geology, as well as National Diplomas with Upper Credit in relevant fields such as Electrical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Mining, Physics, or Computer Science.
This variety in entry requirements reflects the different pathways available for candidates seeking admission into Geophysics programs across these institutions. Each university offers flexibility with alternative qualifications like ND, HND, JUPEB, and IJMB alongside traditional A’ Level passes.
