Eligibility explained
Can I Study Medical Laboratory Science with Aggregate 20?
Aggregate 20 can be relevant to some Medical Laboratory Science programme records, but it is not enough information for a universal answer.

The Short Answer
Possibly, if your subjects and grades also satisfy the exact programme record. Based on the Find My Uni GH dataset snapshot reviewed 2026-09-12, a BSc Medical Laboratory Science record lists aggregate 20 as a screening example, with English Language, Mathematics (Core), Integrated Science and accepted science electives. This is not an active-intake official requirement. Other institutions may publish different conditions, and eligibility is not admission.
Aggregate 20 is only one condition
The current programme data contains a Medical Laboratory Science record with aggregateRequired set to 20. That value describes the maximum recorded for that programme record, not a universal national promise.
The matcher checks the aggregate alongside core subjects, accepted electives and minimum grades. A total of 20 cannot compensate for a missing or below-minimum science subject.
- Check how your aggregate was calculated and which results were used.
- Verify that the programme accepts your qualification type.
- Treat the match as eligibility guidance, not an admission letter.
Science subjects matter
The recorded example requires English Language, Mathematics (Core) and Integrated Science, with Biology, Chemistry and Physics in the accepted elective list. The required number and grade for electives still matter.
Use official WAEC subject names when checking your result. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are separate subjects in the shared catalogue.
- Confirm your grades in English Language, Mathematics (Core) and Integrated Science.
- Check the exact elective combination accepted by the institution.
- Ask whether any laboratory, health or professional condition applies to the active intake.
Verify the provider before applying
A BSc Medical Laboratory Science listing and a nursing or midwifery pathway are different records. Do not transfer one provider's aggregate or subject rule to another health programme.
Review the institution's current admission source and ask admissions to confirm your certificate. This is especially important where the programme is connected to a regulated profession.
- Check the programme title, institution and admission cycle together.
- Keep evidence of the subjects and grades used in your application.
- Confirm current requirements with the institution before paying an application fee.

The aggregate and subject example is based on the Find My Uni GH dataset snapshot reviewed 2026-09-12. The University of Health and Allied Sciences source is authoritative for institution confirmation, but the aggregate remains a screening example rather than an active-intake requirement. Eligibility screening does not establish admission, programme accreditation, professional licensure, clinical placement or active-intake availability.
