B.Sc. in Midwifery

B.Sc. Midwifery at C.K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences is a degree programme for students who want to care for women and newborns. It sits within the School of Nursing and Midwifery and is classified under health and medical sciences. This page explains what the subject involves, how competitive admission is, and where graduates often end up.

What midwifery involves

Midwifery is a healthcare profession centred on supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, and the first weeks after birth. Degree programmes in this field typically cover reproductive health, maternal and newborn care, and how to recognise and respond to complications during delivery. You will learn clinical skills alongside how to communicate clearly with patients and families, preparing you to work in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other health-related degrees, which means you are not competing for one of a very small number of places. If your WASSCE results meet the university's core requirements for the health sciences, you have a realistic chance of admission.

Where a midwifery qualification can lead

Most graduates go on to work as midwives in maternity units, public health facilities, and private clinics. Others specialise in areas such as neonatal care, reproductive health education, or midwifery training, and some move into health policy and programme management. Midwifery is a career with steady demand, especially in Ghana, where maternal and child health are national priorities.
