B.Sc. Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Electrical and electronics engineering is about how electricity powers our world, from lighting and motors to communication and digital systems. This degree at Akenten Appiah-Menka University is offered in Kumasi on full-time or sandwich basis. It is less competitive than many engineering programmes and welcomes students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds.

What this programme teaches you

Programmes like this build a foundation in circuit theory, electronic devices, power systems, control systems, and signal processing. You learn to design, analyse, and troubleshoot the electrical and electronic systems used in homes, industries, and national grids. The work is practical and hands-on, so you develop strong problem-solving and technical drawing skills alongside your theoretical knowledge.

How competitive is entry?

Getting a place is less competitive than many engineering degrees. The same programme at Sunyani Technical University is also less competitive, so you have similar options. The university accepts students who have completed General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts at SHS. No specific aggregate score is published here; you should check whether your own grades meet the school's requirements. The programme runs in Kumasi, with both full-time and sandwich options.

What you can do after graduation

Electrical and electronics engineers work in power generation and distribution, electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, and automation. Common roles include designing circuits, maintaining power equipment, installing communication networks, and managing engineering projects. Some graduates also go on to postgraduate study or start their own businesses.
