Development communication brings together media, community engagement, and social change. This degree, offered under the Faculty of Integrated Development Studies, is for students who want to use communication to support development projects and policies.

What development communication programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually explore how to use communication tools and strategies to address social, economic, and environmental challenges. You learn how to design messages, work with communities, use print and digital media, and evaluate the impact of communication campaigns. The field draws on both social sciences and communication studies, so you build skills in research, storytelling, facilitation, and advocacy.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to many other degree programmes. That means it is not as heavily oversubscribed, but you still need to meet the university's general admission requirements for undergraduate study. If your WASSCE grades are solid, you have a reasonable chance of being considered.
