B.Ed in Mathematics

The B.Ed in Mathematics at Catholic University of Ghana is a teaching degree that combines the study of mathematics with training in educational methods. It prepares you to teach mathematics in Ghanaian junior and senior high schools. If you are comfortable with numbers and enjoy explaining how they work, this programme could be a strong fit.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover university-level mathematics, including algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Alongside these mathematics courses, you study education foundations, educational psychology, curriculum design, and teaching methods. This combination gives you both the subject knowledge and the classroom skills to teach mathematics effectively. You also learn how to assess students, plan lessons, and use technology in teaching.

How competitive admission is

This programme is less competitive than many other degree programmes at the university, meaning the academic threshold is generally more accessible. However, you still need to meet the specific entry requirements for mathematics education, particularly in mathematics and sciences. Check the university’s official admissions page for the exact grades needed.

What mathematics education graduates do

Most graduates go into teaching, either in public or private schools, at the junior or senior high school level. Many also work as tutors, educational consultants, or instructional designers. Some continue to further study in mathematics education or take up roles in educational administration. The mathematical and analytical skills you develop are also useful outside the classroom in fields that value problem-solving, such as data analysis or actuarial work, though further training is typically needed for those roles.
