What an ICT degree covers

You learn how to install, maintain, and troubleshoot computer networks, how to design simple applications, and how to manage data. Most programmes also include practical projects that mirror real workplace tasks. By the end, you should be comfortable working with a range of ICT tools and techniques.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other computing and IT degrees in Ghana. That means it is relatively easier to gain admission, but you still need to meet the school's minimum requirements. Since entry difficulty is judged as less competitive, your chances are better if you have the required passes in your WASSCE subjects. Check your grades against the published requirements to see whether you qualify.
