Physics is one of the core science subjects, and for most universities, you need to have a minimum of C6 in physics before you can be admitted into the course that has physics as its O’level requirement for admission.

If you have a D7 in Physics as a science student, you may feel that your O’level result is useless for admission, but the good news for you now is that there are many courses you can study with a D7 in Physics. This course has little or no application of Physics, so a D7 in your O’level will be considered for admission.

In this blog post, we are going to provide the list of courses that you can study in a Nigerian university with a D7 in physics. These courses are science courses, and instead of wasting another year at home preparing to write a fresh WAEC or NECO, to pass the Physics, you can utilize the grade and apply the following course that we are going to list in this blog post.

Science Courses You Can Study With D7 in Physics

With a D7 in physics in your O’level you can still study science courses at the university. Most of the Nigerian universities offer this course. If you meet other admission requirements, such as the JAMB cut-off mark for the course, you will be offered admission to this course with your D7 in JAMB. The list of courses that you can study with a D7 in physics in Nigerian universities are:

1. Agriculture Extension
2. Agriculture Economics
3. Food Science Technology
4. Geography
5. Biology
6. Biology Education
7. Library and Information Science
8. Integrated Science
9. Environmental Biology
10. Crop Science
11. Soil Science
12. Agronomy
13. Animal Production
14. Animal Husbandry
15. Forestry
16. Wildlife and Conservation Science
17. Estate Management
18. Home Science
19. Nutrition and Dietetics
20. Botany

The courses listed above are the science courses you can study in any Nigerian university with a D7 in Physics. These courses are more of biological science and agricultural science, and there is little application of Physics in these courses.

Before you want to apply for any of the courses listed above, be sure to confirm the other admission requirements for the program. Check the minimum cutoff mark in JAMB, and if your JAMB score is close to the minimum cutoff mark, you can proceed to apply for admission into this course.

List Of Universities That Accept 160 Cut Off Mark

Nigerian Universities That May Accept D7 in Physics

All the universities in Nigeria offering the courses listed above all have the same O’level requirement. This means that with your D7 in physics, you can apply for any of the courses we mention at any university in Nigeria if the school is offering the course and you will be admitted.

Even first-generation universities like UNN, ABU, and UI accept people with D7 in those courses that were listed, so you can proceed with your application in any of your university choices.

Admission Requirements You Must Still Meet

All the course that were mentioned still have their admission requirement. For the courses in the Faculty of Agriculture, you need to have a minimum of credits in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, or Agriculture to be considered for admission. Also, for the Biology-related course, you need the same requirements as the courses in the Faculty of Agriculture.

For the JAMB subject combination, you are required to write four JAMB subjects, and each course has its own course requirements. Check the JAMB brochure to be sure of the subject combination for each of the courses.

What To Do If You Don’t Like Any of the Courses Listed

If you don’t like any of the courses that were listed, that is, courses that you can study with a D7 in physics, you can take an alternate route, and this includes rewriting a fresh O’level or doing an A’level program. With A’level program like JUPEB or IJMB you can apply for other courses, and during the program, you can then rewrite your O’level and after which if you pass your physics and score the required points in you’re A’level, you will be offered a 200-level admission to any course of your choice. This means that you won’t lose a year, and you will be resuming the same level as your classmates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Study Nursing With D7 in Physics?

No, you cannot study Nursing or any medical course with a D7 in Physics. Nursing and every other health science course require a minimum of C6 in WAEC or NECO before you can be offered admission.

Can I Study Computer Science With D7 in Physics?

No, you cannot study Computer Science with a D7 in Physics. Computer science requires a lot of physics applications, so a C6 in  Physics is what is considered for admission into the program at any university in Nigeria.

Conclusion

If you have a D7 in Physics, all hope is not lost yet. You can study many science courses in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture, and Social Science. These courses don’t require a credit in Physics. If you don’t like the courses listed in the blog, you can seek an alternative route, which is to rewrite the physics or go for the A’level program that will give you automatic admission to the 200 level. If you decide to apply for any of the courses that is mentioned here, do well to check other admission requirements and be sure that you meet these requirements before proceeding to apply for admission.
