B.Sc. in Information Systems

A degree in Information Systems prepares you to design and manage the technology that organizations rely on. At C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences, this programme sits in the School of Computing and Information Sciences, equipping you with skills at the crossroads of business and computing.

What you'll learn and use on the job

Programmes of this kind typically cover how organisations collect, store and use data, and how to build and maintain the systems that support their operations. You will develop practical skills in areas like database management, systems analysis and project management, along with a solid foundation in programming and networking. Most graduates go on to roles such as systems analyst, IT consultant, database administrator or IT project manager, helping companies and public sector bodies make the most of their information. Since information systems sit between technology and business, you will also learn how to communicate technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders, which is a key skill in every industry.

How difficult is it to get a place?

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other computing degrees. This means that if you meet the general WASSCE requirements for admission into a degree programme, your chances of being offered a place are relatively good. Competition does vary from one year to the next, so it is still worth making sure your grades meet the published requirements and applying as early as you can.
