B.Tech Statistics and Computer Studies

The B.Tech Statistics and Computer Studies at Cape Coast Technical University is a degree programme hosted by the School of Applied Sciences & Technology. It combines quantitative methods with computing skills, preparing students for work in data analysis, information systems, and related fields. As a less competitive programme, it offers a realistic entry point for many SHS leavers.

What studying statistics and computer studies involves

This programme brings together two complementary areas. On the statistics side, you learn how to collect, analyse and interpret data, and how to draw conclusions from numbers. On the computer studies side, you pick up programming, databases and software development skills, so you can work with data at scale. Graduates of such programmes often end up in roles where they turn raw data into useful information for decision-making.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this programme is less competitive compared to many other computing and technology degrees. This means that students with moderate WASSCE results still have a reasonable chance of being offered admission. However, you should always check the specific subject requirements with Cape Coast Technical University, as meeting the minimum entry criteria is still necessary.

What you can do after graduation

With a degree in statistics and computer studies, you can work across industries that rely on data. Common job titles include data analyst, statistician, business intelligence analyst, and IT officer. Some graduates go on to further study in data science or information technology, while others find work in banking, health, government, and technology companies.
