B.Sc. Nursing

Pentecost University, through its Faculty of Health and Allied Sciences, offers a B.Sc. Nursing degree. Nursing is a hands-on health profession that prepares you to care for patients in hospitals, clinics, and the community. This programme is a less competitive route into nursing compared to several other Ghanaian universities, which may make it an attractive option for SHS leavers.

What nursing programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually combine classroom theory with clinical practice. You will study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, public health, and patient care techniques. You will also develop practical skills such as taking vital signs, administering medication, and communicating effectively with patients and their families. Most nursing degrees include rotations in hospitals and health centres, giving you real experience before you graduate.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into nursing at Pentecost University is less competitive than at several other universities. For comparison, the same programme at KNUST, the University of Health and Allied Sciences, and the University of Cape Coast is highly competitive, while the University of Ghana is competitive. Catholic University of Ghana is also less competitive. This means your chances of admission may be higher at Pentecost University than at the more competitive institutions, but it still depends on meeting the published requirements.
