B.Sc. Plumbing, Gas and Sanitary Technology

The B.Sc. Plumbing, Gas and Sanitary Technology is a degree programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development. It focuses on the practical systems that bring water, gas, and sanitation into buildings. This page explains the field, how to get in, and what graduates typically do.

A hands-on engineering discipline

Programmes of this kind centre on the systems that keep buildings safe and habitable: water supply, drainage, sewage disposal, and gas installation. You will typically learn how to design, install, and maintain these systems, while following the health and safety standards that govern them. Because it blends trade skill with engineering principles, this course suits students who enjoy practical problem-solving and working with their hands.

Who can apply and how competitive it is

Entry is less competitive than many other engineering programmes, so if you meet the general university requirements you have a good chance of securing a place. The college accepts SHS students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds. This programme is based in Kumasi and offered full-time.

What graduates go on to do

Most graduates find work in construction, utilities, or public works. Typical roles include plumbing system designers, gas service engineers, sanitary inspectors, and building services supervisors. Others start their own plumbing and gas installation businesses, which can be very profitable in Ghana's growing urban housing market.
