JAMB Subject Combination for Physiology 2025/2026: Physiology is the study of the functions and processes of living organisms, such as humans, animals, and plants. It covers topics such as how cells communicate, how organs work, how hormones regulate body functions, how the nervous system controls behavior, and how the body adapts to different environments. Physiology is a fascinating and important field that has applications in medicine, health, sports, agriculture, biotechnology, and more.
If you are interested in studying physiology in any Nigerian university, you need to know the requirements and the subject combination for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination. JAMB is the body that conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for admission into various degree programs in Nigeria. The UTME is a computer-based test that consists of four subjects, one of which is English Language (compulsory for all candidates).
In this blog post, we will provide you with the JAMB subject combination for physiology, the O’level requirements, the direct entry requirements, and the list of universities that offer physiology in Nigeria. We will also answer some frequently asked questions about physiology and JAMB.
JAMB Subject Combination for Physiology 2025/2026
The JAMB subject combination for physiology is as follows:
- English Language (compulsory)
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
These subjects are essential for understanding the basic concepts of human physiology, such as the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs, and systems, the physical and chemical principles that govern biological processes, and the interactions between living organisms and their environment.
You need to score at least 180 in the UTME to be eligible for admission into any Nigerian university. However, some universities may have higher cut-off marks, so you need to check the specific requirements of your preferred institution before applying.
O’Level Requirements for Physiology 2025/2026
The O’level requirements for physiology are as follows:
- Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
These subjects are the same as the JAMB subject combination for physiology, and they are required for admission into any Nigerian university that offers physiology. You can use any of the following examination bodies to obtain your O’level results: WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE.
Direct Entry Requirements for Physiology 2025/2026
The direct entry requirements for physiology are as follows:
- Two (2) A’level passes chosen from Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Zoology.
These subjects are the advanced level equivalents of the JAMB subject combination for physiology, and they are required for admission into the second year (200 level) of the physiology program. You can use any of the following examination bodies to obtain your A’level results: IJMB, JUPEB, NCE, ND, or HND.
