Microbiology is a courses offered in higher institutions in Nigeria. It is a course that deals with the study of all living microscopic organisms like algae, bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions and protozoa which are beyond the vision of the naked eye.
MCB is a very interesting course, the course has various branches under it which included bacteriology, mycology, protozoology, and phycology, though these branches are the areas of specialization you can decide to further your career in this course if you wish to, however, in order not to deviate from the onus of this post, we wouldn’t be going into details on the branches of Microbiology.
For the sake of this post, we will be discussing about the he admission requirement for studying Microbiology in our tertiary institutions.
Ideally, admission requirements for a particular course is almost the same in all schools except for the JAMB cut off marks. Microbiology requires a high JAMB cut off mark, good post UTME score and most importantly a very good O’level result. subject combination for WAEC/NECO and JAMB, it would be wise to go through it as this will give candidates better understandings on not just the subject combination for Computer Engineering but other courses as approved by JAMB.
Talking about the admission requirements for studying Microbiology, five (5) requirements are involved, namely:
- Required O’Level subjects
- O’Level and UTME subjects combination
- JAMB or UTME Score of the candidate
- Post UTME Score
- Lastly, a good aggregate score
Any candidate that can conveniently meet the above admission requirements for Microbiology to the university’s satisfaction, admission into any university be it UNIUYO, ABUAD, UNIBEN, UI, UNILAG and the likes is 100% guaranteed.
Often times we stress the need for the correct O’Level and UTME subject combination for Microbiology as a course in our tertiary institutions cannot be overemphasized as candidates tend to ignore the importance of this subject matter thus making it difficult for them to gain admission into the university to study this course.
Making use of the correct and approved O’Level subject requirements plus JAMB subject combination for Microbiology makes the admission process much easier for candidates seeking admission to study Microbiology in their various choice of institutions.
Do you know that the major reason for the increase in purchase of change of course and institution form every academic session by candidates is because before embarking on the UTME, they fail to confirm the correct O’level or UTME subjects combination for studying Microbiology thus making them go through the process of change of course or institution and sometimes, both.
Admission Requirements For Studying Microbiology In Nigerian Universities
In this post today, we shall be giving candidates full details as regards the WAEC and NECO otherwise known as O’Level subjects combination and UTME admission requirements for studying Microbiology in our universities today.
Like most science courses, Microbiology (MCB) covers a wide range and scope as it involves both theory and practical classes. Upon graduation, a Microbiologist can work in an Engineering company (Construction and Oil companies to be specific), Food and Beverage companies, UNICEF, hospitals, universities, medical and health Research institutions and many more. They are relevant in any medical or health organization.
So if you are interested in this studying Microbiology, you must meet their admission requirements which we are about to breakdown below.
Upon completing this post, you ought to be clear about the followings:
a) WAEC or NECO Subjects for studying Microbiology in any Nigerian University.
b) Admission Requirements for studying Microbiology
c) Whether you can combine WAEC and NECO results for studying Microbiology (Yes you can though this also depends on the institution)
d) Minimum required cut off mark for Microbiology in Nigeria
e) List of Universities In Nigeria that offers Microbiology
f) List of Private universities offering Microbiology
g) State and Federal Universities Offering Microbiology
O’Level Requirements For Microbiology
