Check if you qualify

The B.Sc. Information Technology (Distance Education) at the University of Ghana is a degree programme that builds practical and theoretical skills in computing. It is designed for students who want the flexibility of studying from a distance while working toward a recognised qualification. This page explains what the programme covers, how competitive entry is, and where the qualification can lead.

What an information technology degree covers

Programmes of this kind typically introduce you to how computer systems store, process, and transmit data. You can expect to develop skills in programming, databases, computer networks, web development, and information security. Most graduates go on to roles that involve designing, managing, or supporting the technology that organisations rely on, from troubleshooting technical problems to building software systems.

How competitive is a place?

The distance education version of this programme at the University of Ghana is competitive. The same programme offered on campus is highly competitive, meaning that getting a place through distance learning is still demanding but somewhat less so. You should aim for strong WASSCE results and check whether your grades meet the published entry requirements for this distance programme.

What distance learning changes

Choosing a distance format means you do not study full-time on campus. Instead, you work with materials and online resources, giving you room to balance study with other commitments. It is a good option if you are self-disciplined and want a degree without relocating or attending daily classes.
