Structural Engineering and Requirements

Only two universities offer Structural Engineering as a taught programme in Nigeria and one of them is Nigeria Army University, Biu (NAUB).

Structural Engineering is a subset of Civil Engineering and so both curriculums usually follow the pattern. As discipline, it is a field with specialities in the structural design of infrastructures. The structural engineers determine specification for the rigidity, strength and stability of different infrastructures we see around us today.

Listed below are the admission requirements to undergraduate Structural Engineering programme at the Nigeria Army University and this include for the O'Level and Direct Entry Applicants plus the WAEC and JAMB subjects combination.

Entry Requirements

O'Level Qualifications Requirements

The O'Level or school certificates holders should have minimum of credit passes in five subjects which must include:

Mathematics
English Language
Physics
Chemistry and
One other science subject which could be
Technical Drawing
Biology
Further/Additional Mathematics
Agricultural Science
Geography.

The five subjects must be at not more than two sittings from one or two of the following exams

WAEC or

NECO

JAMB Subjects Combination

O'Level applicants must sit for, pass and make the cut off mark for the JAMB coordinated UTME. The UTME subjects combination are:

Mathematics

Physics and
English Language

This subjects combination is also applicable to post-UTME screening test if going to be staged.

Direct Entry Requirements

The following qualifications are accepted for direct entry application.

GCE A' Level: passes in Physics and Mathematics is required
National Diploma (ND): upper credit in Civil Engineering or at other relevant engineering programmes
Hgher National Diploma: same as for ND.
IJMB: good points in Mathematics and Physics and Chemistry

The Structural Engineering at Nigeria Army University is a five-year programme leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree honour.

Accreditation

The programme is accredited by the National University Commission (NUC) and the Council for the Regulations of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN)
