The Short Answer
The Find My Uni GH dataset snapshot reviewed 2026-09-12 includes health records across public, private and specialist institutions. Examples include MBChB Medicine and Surgery, BSc Nursing, BSc Midwifery, Doctor of Pharmacy, BSc Medical Laboratory Science, BSc Public Health, Physiotherapy, Diagnostic Radiography and Dietetics. Aggregate alone does not determine eligibility or admission. Check required science subjects, grades and professional rules with the institution.
Choose a health field, not just a health label
Health Sciences is a broad category. Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Physiotherapy, Public Health and Dietetics involve different patients, settings, practical work and later professional requirements.
Use the programme title, overview, whatYouStudy and careerProspects fields to form questions, not promises. A category match does not establish registration, licensing or employment.
- Compare patient-facing, laboratory, rehabilitation and population-health work.
- Ask what clinical placement or practical training the programme includes.
- Check the relevant professional body's current requirements where applicable.
Subjects and grades need close attention
Many health records expect science preparation, but requirements vary. Some list Biology, Chemistry and Physics together; others allow a different combination or use programme-specific notes. The current matcher checks named core subjects, accepted electives, minimum grades and aggregate where recorded.
Use official WAEC names such as English Language, Mathematics (Core), Integrated Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Do not assume that a general science pass or an attractive aggregate substitutes for a missing required elective.
- Read every programme note before counting your electives.
- Check whether the course accepts your qualification type.
- Ask the institution to clarify any subject-equivalence question.
Eligibility is not professional admission
A programme record can help you identify an apparent eligibility match, but admission depends on the provider's current process. Health programmes may also involve institutional screening, practical arrangements, clinical placement rules or later professional registration requirements.
Confirm current requirements with the institution before applying. Ask for the current admission notice, active programme status, required documents, deadlines and any professional or regulatory steps that follow the academic programme.
- Confirm the institution and campus offering the programme now.
- Verify clinical or laboratory training arrangements directly.
- Keep written confirmation of any requirement that affects your choice.
