The subject combination for all the courses varies, and Surveying and Geo-informatics is another science course. Students constantly research the JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Surveying and Geo-informatics to avoid combining the wrong subjects in their examinations.
Knowing the subject combination in JAMB and WAEC is essential to avoid difficulties in gaining admission into any Nigerian university. Therefore, this page will cover the JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Surveying and Geo-informatics, what you need to know about the course, and the list of universities offering the course.
What You Need to Know About Surveying and Geo-informatics
Surveying and Geo-informatics are not competitive in Nigeria, so entrance would not be difficult for students. Studying the system in any Nigerian university would take four years without carryovers. Surveying and Geo-informatics is a science course that deals with managing, acquiring, applying, and analysing spatially referenced data.
Furthermore, the course is a science course, and art students can’t study Surveying and Geo-informatics. The job availability for this course is very high, and one with a degree in this course can work in the different economic sectors in Nigeria.
If the course sounds like your area of interest, see the next section for the subject combination.
