Bachelor of Education in Spanish

The Bachelor of Education in Spanish at the University of Ghana is a degree programme that prepares students to teach Spanish at the senior high school level. It combines the study of the Spanish language and its cultures with the professional skills needed to become a teacher.

What a Spanish education degree covers

Programmes of this kind usually focus on two main areas: advanced Spanish language study, including speaking, writing, listening, reading and cultural awareness, and education studies, such as lesson planning, classroom management, assessment and educational psychology. Most also include supervised teaching practice in real schools, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate.

How competitive is entry

This programme is competitive, which means more students apply than there are places available. You will need strong WASSCE results, particularly in Spanish and other subjects required for admission to education programmes. The exact cut-off is not published here, so check with the University of Ghana admissions office to see whether your grades qualify.

Where a Spanish education degree can take you

Most graduates go into teaching, finding work in senior high schools, private schools or language institutes. The degree also provides a good foundation for careers in translation, interpretation, tourism and international business, where Spanish skills are highly valued. Some graduates go on to further study in education or Spanish.
