Bachelor of Public Health In Health Promotion

The Bachelor of Public Health in Health Promotion is a degree for people who want to help others live healthier lives. Health promotion focuses on prevention, education, and behaviour change rather than treating illness after it starts. This page explains what the field is about, how hard it is to get a place at C. K. Tedam University, and where graduates typically work.

What health promotion is about

Health promotion programmes of this kind usually cover how to design, run and evaluate projects that encourage healthy living. You will study topics like epidemiology, health behaviour, communication, and community development. The degree builds practical skills in research, public speaking, planning, and working with different groups of people. Most courses also include fieldwork in schools, clinics, or communities, so you learn how to turn health knowledge into action.

How competitive is entry

This programme is less competitive than many other health and medical sciences degrees. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be at the very top of the range, but you still need to meet the general admission requirements for degree study. Exact cut-offs are not published here; you should check with the admissions office at C. K. Tedam University to see whether your grades qualify.

What you can do with this degree

Graduates of health promotion degrees usually go into community health education, public health departments, non-governmental organisations, workplace wellness, and health communication. You might also move into research or further study in public health, epidemiology, or health policy. The skills you gain are useful in any job that requires talking to people, running programmes, and understanding health data.
