Check if you qualifyThis degree programme prepares you to protect communities from the spread of preventable diseases. Based in the School of Public Health at C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences, it focuses on how disease spreads and what can be done to stop it.
What disease control programmes cover
Programmes of this kind usually cover the science behind how infections spread, how to track them, and how to design prevention strategies. You'll study epidemiology, disease surveillance, environmental health, health promotion, and how health systems respond to outbreaks. The aim is to equip you with the practical skills to identify disease clusters, measure risk, and plan interventions that keep whole communities healthier.
How hard it is to get a place
This is a less competitive programme compared with other health and medical sciences degrees. That means you are more likely to meet the required aggregate than you would for, say, medicine or nursing. Still, you need to check that your WASSCE grades satisfy the university's own entry requirements, because every applicant is judged on their individual results.
