Science Laboratory Technology Admission Requirement – Under Sciences

Are you considering a career in Science Laboratory Technology?

Whether you’re a UTME or Direct Entry candidate, this blog post will provide you with all the essential information you need to know about the admission requirements for Science Laboratory Technology.

We will cover the O’Level subjects, JAMB subject combination, and list the universities in Nigeria where you can study this course, along with their specific considerations and remarks.

O’Level Subjects & Requirements:

To be eligible for admission into Science Laboratory Technology, you must have a minimum of five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following O’Level subjects:

1. English Language
2. Mathematics
3. Chemistry
4. Biology
5. Physics

Special Consideration and Remarks:

• The University of Benin (UNIBEN) requires five O’Level credit passes, including Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language, and any two (2) of Biology, Agricultural Science, Geography, and Physics. However, for candidates opting for specific options like Physic/Electronics, Physiology/Pharmacology Techniques, and Petrochemical Geology, a credit in Physics is also necessary.

JAMB Subject Combination for Science Laboratory Technology:

All UTME candidates must note that English Language is compulsory in their JAMB UTME. In addition to English, the remaining three (3) subjects required for Science Laboratory Technology are:

1. Biology
2. Chemistry
3. Either Physics or Mathematics

Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks:

• The University of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT) offers specific options within Science Laboratory Technology:
  • Geology and Mining Technology, Industrial and Petrochemical Technology, Physics with Production Technology, and Physics with Electronic Technology options require Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
  • Biomedical Technology and Microbiology Technology, Biochemistry and Chemistry Technology options require Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Physics.

Direct Entry Admission Requirements:

For candidates applying through Direct Entry, the following requirements must be met:

• Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one (1) from Zoology, Biology, or Botany.

Special Consideration and Remarks:

• The University of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT) does not offer Direct Entry admission for Science Laboratory Technology.
• The University of Benin (UNIBEN) may accept at least two (2) advanced level passes in the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or General Certificate of Education (G.C.E.) or recognized equivalents. These subjects should be in the Sciences, in addition to meeting the UTME requirements, and must not exceed two sittings.
