List of Polytechnics Offering Geoscience in Nigeria, Jamb UTME and O'level Requirements

 
Geoscience is the broad study of the Earth — its structure, processes, history, and the resources it holds. It combines elements of geology, geography, physics, chemistry, and environmental science to help us understand natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, climate change, and the formation of natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. Studying Geoscience at a Polytechnic in Nigeria gives you the hands-on skills and practical experience you need to work in industries like energy, mining, environmental management, and even disaster risk reduction. It's an exciting, in-demand field with real-world impact.
