Will you get in?

Meet the minimum pass grades for this level and you will be considered. Enter your WASSCE grades and we will tell you whether you meet the published cut-off for this programme — and every other programme at Regional Maritime University you qualify for.

Check if you qualify

Computer engineering is a field that combines electronics and computing to design the hardware and software that power modern devices. The B.Sc. Computer Engineering programme at Regional Maritime University offers a route into this field for students who meet the entry requirements. It is less competitive to enter than the same programme at some other Ghanaian public universities.

What computer engineering programmes cover

Programmes in computer engineering usually cover digital logic design, computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages, embedded systems, and computer networks. Students learn to build both the physical components of computers and the software that controls them. This combination of hardware and software skills makes graduates versatile in the job market.

How hard it is to get a place

At Regional Maritime University, entry to computer engineering is less competitive than at institutions like University of Ghana or KNUST, where the same programme is highly competitive. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be as outstanding as they would for those universities, though you still need to meet the university's admission requirements. Check your own grades against the published requirements to see if you qualify.

What computer engineering graduates do

Graduates of computer engineering typically go into roles such as systems engineer, software developer, embedded systems engineer, network engineer, or IT consultant. Some work in the telecommunications industry, others in banking, and some in the growing technology start-up scene in Ghana and abroad. The skills also open the way to further study in engineering or computer science.
