B.Ed in Religious Studies

The B.Ed in Religious Studies at Catholic University of Ghana prepares you to teach Religious Studies at the senior high school level. As part of the Faculty of Education, the programme combines religious knowledge with the practical skills of teaching. Entry is less competitive than for many other degree courses, so it is approachable for students with the right qualifications.

What you will study and learn

A B.Ed in Religious Studies is a teaching qualification focused on religion, ethics, and education. Programmes of this kind usually cover world religions, scriptural studies, moral philosophy, and teaching methods for religious education. You also learn how to plan lessons, manage classrooms, and assess learners, giving you the tools to become an effective teacher. Alongside this, you develop analytical skills, the ability to understand diverse viewpoints, and confidence in leading discussions.

How competitive is admission?

This programme is described as 'less competitive' among Catholic University of Ghana's offerings. That means you will likely face fewer applicants for places than you would for more competitive degree programmes. If you meet the general admission requirements and have reasonable passes in your core subjects, you stand a good chance of being offered a place. For exact subject requirements, contact the admissions office.

Career paths after graduation

The most common path for graduates is to become Religious Studies teachers in senior high schools, whether in public or private institutions. Beyond the classroom, your skills can lead to work in curriculum design, educational publishing, chaplaincy, or non-governmental organisations focused on education and faith-based community projects. The B.Ed also provides a solid foundation for postgraduate study in education or theology if you want to go further.
