B. Sc. Information Technology Education

This degree combines information technology with education, preparing you to teach computing and related skills in schools and training settings. You will build both technical knowledge and the ability to pass it on to others. The programme is offered full-time and on weekends in Kumasi.

What studying IT Education involves

Programmes of this kind typically cover programming, database design, computer networking, web development, multimedia, and educational technology. They also include teaching methods, curriculum planning, and assessment, so you learn not only the technical material but also how to explain it clearly. You come out with a mix of hands-on IT skills and the confidence to teach or train others.

Where IT Education graduates work

Most graduates go into teaching, often as ICT teachers in senior high schools, junior high schools, or technical and vocational institutions. Others find roles in corporate training, e-learning development, or educational technology support at schools, training centres, and companies. Some graduates also work as instructional designers or educational consultants, helping organisations build effective learning experiences.

How competitive the programme is

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to similar computing degrees. For comparison, the same programme at the University of Cape Coast is considered competitive, so you are likely to have a better chance of gaining a place here if you meet the published admission requirements. It is still important to confirm the exact WASSCE grades and subject requirements with the university before applying.
