Check if you qualify

The BA Communication Studies at the University of Professional Studies prepares students for a range of media, public relations, and corporate communication roles. It is less competitive to enter than similar programmes at some other Ghanaian universities, but still equips you with solid professional skills.

What communication studies is about

Communication studies programmes of this kind normally cover how messages are created, sent, and received across different media. You will learn about public relations, journalism, advertising, corporate communication, and media analysis, and build practical skills in writing, speaking, research, and digital media. The focus is on understanding audiences and communicating clearly in professional and public settings.

How hard it is to get a place

Getting a place at UPS is less competitive than at some other universities. For comparison, the same programme at KNUST is highly competitive, while at University of Cape Coast it is competitive. At UPS and several other institutions, it is less competitive, meaning your chances are stronger if your grades meet the basic requirements. No official cut-off point is published here because it depends on the applicant pool each year. Check your WASSCE grades against the general university admissions criteria to see if you qualify.
