ANSWER: Makerere University offers two courses that train students to become veterinary doctors. These include bachelor of veterinary medicine and bachelor of science in wildlife health and management.
The later is for fauna while the other is for domestic animals. Biology and chemistry are the essential subjects for both courses, according to the Public Universities Joint Admissions Board (PUJAB) notice for this year’s admissions.
The relevant subject for veterinary medicine is selected from one better done of maths, physics, agriculture, and food and nutrition. On the other hand, one better done of maths, physics and geography is considered the relevant subject for wildlife health and management.
I am in Senior Six and I offer biology, chemistry, agriculture/food and nutrition. I want to join a tertiary institution for a diploma in nursing. Can I qualify with this subject combination?

Hellen Mukakarisa, the chairperson of the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Examination Board, says students must get at least one principle in biology and a subsidiary in any of the other science subjects to be admitted for a diploma in nursing. It means your combination can qualify you for a nursing diploma if you read hard and attain a principle pass in biology.

The course Kyambogo University offers is bachelor of information technology and computing (ITD). According to the university’s admissions booklet, physics and mathematics are the essential for this course, that are multiplied by three when calculating the cut-off points.
One better done of technical drawing, economics and chemistry is considered the relevant subject. Therefore, you can qualify for admission if you scored principle passes, especially in the two essential subjects.

AThe minimum requirement for admission to pursue a diploma is at least two principle passes, according to the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) guidelines.
You are ineligible for diploma because you scored only one principle pass in entrepreneurship.
The option is to start with a certificate course and upgrade to a diploma later. Alternatively, you can apply for admission through the mature age entry scheme where the minimum requirement is at least 25 years of age.
