Will you get in?
Meet the minimum pass grades for this level and you will be considered. Enter your WASSCE grades and we will tell you whether you meet the published cut-off for this programme — and every other programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development you qualify for.
Check if you qualifyThis programme prepares you to teach physics at the senior high school level. It blends physics content with teaching methods, so you graduate both understanding physics and knowing how to explain it to learners. If you have a background in General Science or Technical Studies, this degree is built on what you already know.
What physics education graduates do
Programmes of this kind typically cover mechanics, electricity, magnetism, waves, and modern physics, alongside teaching methods and classroom practice. Most graduates go into teaching physics at senior high schools, but some move into curriculum development, educational research, or science communication. A physics education degree also keeps the door open for further study in physics or education.
How competitive is this programme?
Entry to this programme is less competitive than the same degree at some other universities — for example, the University of Cape Coast lists it as competitive. That does not mean you can ignore your grades; you still need to meet the university's general admission requirements and the specific requirements for physics education. Since the exact cut-off points are not published, the best way to know if you qualify is to apply and see.
Where and how you study
The programme is offered full-time at Asante Mampong. That means you will be based on the Asante Mampong campus for the duration of your studies. If you are from the General Science or Technical Studies backgrounds, this programme is open to you.
