For both SSSCE (Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination) and WASSCE (West African Senior School Certificate Examination) applicants looking for admission into the UCC BSc Chemistry program, the key criterion is obtaining an aggregate score of 27 or better. This aggregate score serves as a benchmark to assess the overall academic performance of prospective students.
Check out our previous post where we talked about the cut-off points and entry requirements for UCC’s BSc Biochemistry program.
In addition to the aggregate requirement, specific subject passes are crucial for admission consideration. Aspiring candidates must secure a minimum of a C6 grade in Chemistry, Physics, and either Elective Mathematics or Biology. These subject-specific requirements ensure that students have a solid foundation in the core disciplines that form the bedrock of a BSc in Chemistry program.
The emphasis on Chemistry, Physics, and Elective Mathematics or Biology underscores the interdisciplinary nature of the program, reflecting the diverse knowledge base needed for success in the field. Chemistry serves as the central focus, while Physics and either Elective Mathematics or Biology contribute to a well-rounded understanding of the scientific principles underpinning the discipline.
