B.Sc. Construction Technology and Management with Education

This programme combines the practical world of construction with the skills needed to teach others. It suits students who want to understand how buildings are designed and built, and who also see themselves in a classroom. You will be prepared to work in both the construction industry and education.

Learning construction and learning to teach

Programmes of this kind bring together two areas. On the construction side, you study materials, structures, building methods, and project management. On the education side, you learn how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess students, often with a focus on technical and vocational training. The aim is to produce graduates who can work in the construction industry as well as in schools and colleges.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many engineering or construction degrees. This means that if you have a background in General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts from SHS, you have a reasonable chance of being considered. The programme is based in Kumasi and is offered both full-time and as a sandwich option, which can suit people who are already working or teaching. As with all university admissions, your final grades are what matter, so it is worth checking whether you meet the published requirements.

Where it can take you

Graduates typically go into teaching, either at SHS level or in technical and vocational institutions. The management side also opens doors in construction supervision, estimating, and site coordination. Some graduates use the education qualification to move into training in the construction sector, while others continue to study further in either field.
