B.Sc. in Information Technology

This degree introduces you to the practical side of computing, from managing systems to building and supporting software. It suits students who like working with computers and want a career that touches almost every industry. The programme is offered by the School of Computing and Information Sciences at C. K. Tedam University Of Technology & Applied Sciences.

What you will study

Programmes of this kind usually cover a mix of programming, databases, networking, and cybersecurity. You also learn how to manage computer systems and support users, which is often the difference between IT and pure computer science. The emphasis is on applying technology to real problems rather than just writing code.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other computing degrees. It is similar to the same programme at Central University and Tamale Technical University, where places are also less competitive. That means your WASSCE grades are likely to be enough, but you should still check whether your qualifications meet the published requirements.

What IT graduates do

Most graduates go into roles that keep organisations running: IT support, network administration, systems analysis, and cybersecurity are common paths. Because every business uses technology, IT skills carry across industries such as banking, health, education, and government. Some graduates also go on to further study or specialise in areas like cloud computing and data management.
