B.A IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES

Communication Studies explores how people create, share, and interpret meaning through media, speech, and digital platforms. This degree at the University of Education, Winneba, is offered within the Faculty of Social Sciences Education and prepares students for a wide range of roles in media, business, and public life. Entry is less competitive than many other degree programmes, making it an accessible option for SHS leavers with solid results.

What communication studies programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually teach you how media systems operate, how messages are crafted, and how audiences receive them. You will develop skills in writing, speaking, interviewing, research, and critical analysis, as well as an understanding of how communication shapes politics, culture, and society. Most courses include practical work in areas like reporting, public relations, advertising, or digital content production.

How competitive a place is

This programme is less competitive to get into than many other degree programmes. That means your chances of admission are stronger, but you still need to meet the university's published entry requirements for the B.A. in Communication Studies. It is a similar story at other Ghanaian universities that run the same programme, so you should focus on presenting your best WASSCE grades and checking current admission rules.
