Check if you qualify

Computer science is the study of how computers solve problems, from writing code to designing systems. At Ashesi, this degree is offered within the faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems. The programme accepts students from Business, General Arts, General Science, and Visual Arts backgrounds, and entry is less competitive than at many other universities.

What computer science graduates actually do

Programmes of this kind usually cover programming, algorithms, data structures, computer systems, networks, and software engineering. Students learn to design and build software, analyse data, and understand how computers and networks work. Graduates typically go into roles like software developer, systems analyst, data scientist, IT consultant, or network engineer. Many also work in fields that combine computing with other industries, such as finance, health, or education.

How hard it is to get a place

Ashesi's computer science programme is less competitive than the same degree at University of Ghana, KNUST, or University of Cape Coast. This means that students who meet the university's published requirements from any of the listed SHS backgrounds—Business, General Arts, General Science, or Visual Arts—have a reasonable chance of being admitted. As with any university, you will need to compare your own results with the specific entry requirements Ashesi publishes.
