List of Polytechnics Offering Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Nigeria, Jamb UTME and O'level Requirements

 
If you’ve ever been curious about how cells work, how genes are expressed, or how tiny molecules control the biggest functions in our bodies, then Biochemistry and Molecular Biology might just be the perfect path for you. This course sits at the heart of modern science — combining chemistry, biology, and genetics to help us understand diseases, create better medicines, and even improve agriculture. As Nigeria continues to develop in fields like biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical research, the demand for professionals with training in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is rising. If you're interested in starting this journey from the polytechnic level, it's important to know where the course is offered and what qualifications you need to apply. In this Blog We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about pursuing Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in a Nigerian polytechnic, including: A list of polytechnics offering Biochemistry and Molecular Biology The correct JAMB subject combination for the course The essential O’Level (WAEC/NECO) subject requirements for admission

##What is Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Course?
Biochemistry studies the chemical substances and processes that occur in living organisms, focusing on the composition and reactions of biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. Molecular biology investigates the molecular mechanisms and interactions that underpin biological phenomena, particularly focusing on the structure, function, and genetic control of these biomolecules.
