List of Universities Offering Food Science and Technology in Nigeria, Jamb UTME and O'level Requirements

 
In Nigeria, with its diverse food sources, big agricultural potential, and challenges like food spoilage, safety, and nutrition, the role of Food Science & Technology graduates is more important than ever. If you’re aiming for this future, it helps to know up front which universities offer the course, what your JAMB/UTME subjects should be, what your WAEC/NECO (or other O’Level) results need to include, and what direct entry options exist. That way, you can plan well, pick the right subjects, and increase your chance of getting admitted. In this blog, you’ll discover: A list of Nigerian universities offering Food Science & Technology The required JAMB / UTME subject combination needed for admission The O’Level subject & credit requirements (WAEC, NECO etc.)

##What is Food Science and Technology Course?
Food Science is a multidisciplinary field studying the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of food, while Food Engineering applies engineering, science, and mathematics principles to design, develop, and optimize processes and equipment for producing, processing, packaging, and distributing food
