Discover the courses you can study in Nigeria without a credit pass in Mathematics.
Without doubt, Mathematics is one of the most important general subjects in Nigerian secondary schools. But what if you failed it in your WAEC, NECO and / or GCE? Are there courses that don’t require Maths?
Or, could it be that you want to know there are courses that don’t demand you take maths among your four subjects in JAMB UTME / DE exams?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered for all the aforementioned scenarios.
Basically, a huge percentage of Universities & Polytechnics have strict O’level & JAMB requirements for their prospective candidates.
