Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does the Environmental Sciences section of the JAMB 2026/2027 brochure cover?
A: It outlines all approved Environmental Sciences courses, subject requirements, UTME combinations, Direct Entry qualifications, and institutions offering each programme.
Q: What O’Level subjects do candidates need for Environmental Sciences programmes?
A: Most courses require credits in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and at least one of Geography, Biology, or Technical Drawing depending on the specific field.
Q: What is the UTME subject combination for Environmental Sciences?
A: The common combination includes Mathematics, Physics, and one other subject such as Chemistry, Geography, or Biology. The brochure states the exact subjects for each course.
Q: Can candidates use Geography in place of Chemistry?
A: Yes, for some courses like Urban and Regional Planning, Estate Management, and Environmental Management, Geography is accepted instead of Chemistry. The brochure specifies the options for each programme.
Q: Does every Environmental Sciences course require Physics?
A: No. While Engineering-related Environmental courses require Physics, some fields like Estate Management or Environmental Management may allow substitutes such as Geography or Biology.
