B.Sc. in Network Science

The B.Sc. in Network Science at C.K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences, offered by the School of Computing and Information Sciences, focuses on the design, management, and security of modern networks. It prepares you to work with the interconnected systems that power communication, data, and technology in nearly every industry.

What network science covers

Programmes of this kind typically explore how data moves between devices and systems, from computer networks to the internet and even social or organisational networks. You are likely to study network architecture, protocols, data transmission, and network security, as well as how to analyse and optimise the flow of information. The field combines computing fundamentals with an understanding of how connections work, giving you a strong technical base.

Skills you can expect to develop

You will build practical skills in setting up and maintaining networks, troubleshooting faults, and protecting systems from threats. There is also a strong analytical side: you learn to model network performance, interpret data, and solve problems that arise in complex systems. These abilities are useful across many sectors, because almost every organisation now relies on networked technology to operate.

How competitive entry is

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other computing courses, which means there is more room for students who meet the basic admission requirements. It is still a technical degree, so you will need to show strength in mathematics or science subjects from WASSCE. Check whether your own grades satisfy the entry rules for the School of Computing and Information Sciences.
