To study Architecture in Nigeria, you must have at least five credit passes in your O' Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), typically obtained in no more than two sittings.
The core subjects you need are:
English Language: Compulsory for all university admissions.
Mathematics: Vital for the design and calculation aspects of the course.
Physics: Required to understand structural mechanics and building science.
Chemistry: Most universities require this as a fourth core science subject.
Technical Drawing or Fine Arts: This is a major requirement to prove your ability to represent ideas visually. If your school didn't offer Technical Drawing, Fine Arts is usually the accepted alternative.
Common Electives for the Fifth Credit
Depending on the specific university, you can fill your remaining credit with subjects like Geography, Economics, Biology, Further Mathematics, or Building Construction.
University-Specific Preferences

FUTA & FUTO: These technical universities place heavy emphasis on Chemistry and Technical Drawing alongside the core three (English, Maths, Physics).
