Check if you qualifyThe BA Development Education at the University for Development Studies is a social sciences degree focused on using education to drive community and national development. It combines learning about how people learn with practical skills for working in development contexts. This is a less competitive programme, making it an accessible option for students who want to work in teaching, community projects, or NGOs.
What development education covers
Programmes of this kind usually bring together education theory, adult learning, and development practice. You learn how to teach and train diverse groups, plan community projects, and evaluate their impact. Typical topics include education policy, gender and inclusion, rural development, and participatory methods. The skills you build include communication, facilitation, research, and project management.
Getting a place
This programme is less competitive than many other degree courses. That means your WASSCE grades do not have to be as high as they might for business, law, or medicine. If you satisfy the university's entry requirements for social sciences, you have a realistic chance of admission. Check the official requirements for the specific subject grades and aggregate needed before applying.
