Bachelor of Technology, Environmental Science

Ho Technical University's Bachelor of Technology in Environmental Science, offered through the Faculty of Built and Natural Environment, prepares you to understand and address environmental challenges. This degree blends scientific knowledge with practical skills, giving you a strong foundation in the field of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences.

What this programme teaches you

Environmental science programmes like this one usually cover the study of ecosystems, pollution, natural resource management, and the impact of human activity on the environment. As a Bachelor of Technology, it emphasises the practical and technical side of these topics, so you can expect to learn how to monitor environmental quality, assess risks, and apply solutions in real-world settings.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses at Ho Technical University. That means it is more accessible if your WASSCE results meet the general requirements for admission. You should still check your grades against the university's published requirements to confirm you qualify, but the competition for places is not as stiff as for some other programmes.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates from environmental science programmes go into fields such as environmental consulting, waste management, water and sanitation, and environmental planning. Because this is a technology-focused degree, you may also find work in environmental monitoring, laboratory analysis, or helping businesses and communities comply with environmental regulations.
