Today in this article, we will be listing out the admission requirements for the Biotechnology course. We must inform you that this course Biotechnology can be studied in two (2) different faculties in different universities. Some Universities offer this course under the Faculty of Science, while others, under the faculty of Engineering, whichever you are looking for, we’ve got you covered.
This page covers everything about the admission requirements to study Biotechnology and it includes; the WAEC and JAMB subject combination for Biotechnology, Direct Entry admission requirements, O’Level subjects and requirement, a list of all the universities where you can study this course, special considerations (Waiver), career and jobs you can work with a degree in Biotechnology.
You must pay attention to this page to get all the prerequisites that will enable you to successfully apply for admission into any University in Nigeria to study Biotechnology.
Direct Entry & UTME Admission Requirements to Study Biotechnology [Science]
O’Level Requirements:
You must note that you are expected to meet certain requirements before you can be qualified to study Biotechnology. One of the requirements includes the possession of the right O’Level credit passes in your SSC examination. You must ensure that you have not less than five (5) credit passes in the following O’Level subjects listed below:
1). Physics.
2). Biology.
