Bachelor of Education in Information and Communication Technology

The Bachelor of Education in Information and Communication Technology at the University of Ghana is an undergraduate degree that prepares you to teach technology and use it to improve learning. It is aimed at students who want to combine a passion for ICT with the skills to educate others, whether in the classroom or in digital learning spaces. This page explains what the programme typically covers, how competitive entry is, and the careers that lie ahead.

What studying ICT education involves

Programmes of this kind usually combine both ICT content and teaching methods. You will likely develop practical skills in programming, networking, database design, and multimedia, alongside learning how to plan lessons, assess students, and manage a classroom. The focus is on preparing you to teach ICT in basic or senior high schools, but the technical skills you gain can open other doors too.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is highly competitive, meaning far more qualified students apply than there are places. You will need strong WASSCE results and an excellent overall academic record to be considered. Because competition is so intense, you should check your grades against the University of Ghana's published admission requirements to see whether you are eligible.

Where an ICT education degree can take you

Most graduates go into teaching, as ICT teachers in primary, junior high, or senior high schools. But the combination of technical and pedagogical skills is also valuable outside the classroom. You could work in educational technology, designing digital learning materials, or become an IT trainer in business, government, or non-profit organisations. Some graduates move into e-learning development, helping schools and companies build online courses.
