B-Tech in Civil Engineering

The B-Tech in Civil Engineering at Sunyani Technical University prepares you for a career in planning, building and maintaining the infrastructure around us. This degree combines engineering theory with practical skills in construction and design. It is a less competitive programme, making it accessible to many qualified SHS graduates.

What civil engineering involves

Civil engineering is the discipline that plans, designs and oversees the construction of roads, bridges, buildings, water systems and other large structures. Programmes of this kind usually cover structural analysis, materials science, surveying, geotechnical engineering and construction management. You will learn how to read drawings, work with building codes and manage projects from start to finish.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than some other engineering degrees, meaning that qualified applicants with the right SHS background have a reasonable chance of admission. Still, you must meet the university's general admission requirements for degree programmes. Check the latest admission list or the university's website to see the specific subjects and grades needed.

Who can apply

The Faculty of Engineering admits students from General Science and Technical Studies streams. If you completed either of these at SHS, you are eligible to apply for this programme. Your background will give you the basic mathematics and science knowledge needed to cope with the engineering curriculum.
