Science Courses Offered in Nigeria 2022 in Universities & Poly

In this article, I have decided to share the list of all science courses offered in Nigeria in 2022 for universities and polytechnics and the respective faculties the courses fall into.

To start with, science courses are among the most valuable and lucrative courses in Nigeria and across the world and they generally have high-paying jobs.

So if you can build a career on a good science course, then you are building a better future for yourself across the globe and even in Nigeria.

Now, before I go into listing all the available science courses offered in Nigerian universities and polytechnics, I will love to answer some important questions that pertain to this topic.

Each of these courses is studied under their appropriate faculties and they have different entry requirements but closely related subject combinations.

Almost all science subjects have one or more things in common. For example, the general science subjects in secondary that are related to all science courses are;

  1. Chemistry
  2. Physics
  3. Biology
  4. Mathematics
  5. Geography (social science)
  6. Agricultural Science
  7. Economics (social science)

All science courses will need two or more of the above science subjects for WAEC subject combination or JAMB subject combination to be qualified for admission.
