Bachelor of Technology in Building Services Technology

Koforidua Technical University offers a Bachelor of Technology in Building Services Technology within the Faculty of Built & Natural Environment. The programme focuses on the systems that make buildings safe, comfortable, and efficient to live in and work in. Because entry is less competitive, it is an accessible degree for students interested in the technical side of the built environment.

What building services technology covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the mechanical and electrical systems inside buildings. You learn about water supply and drainage, electrical wiring and lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, fire detection and suppression, and sometimes lifts and escalators. Across these topics, you build practical skills in reading drawings, sizing and choosing equipment, installing systems, and keeping them running safely. The field also touches on energy efficiency and environmental impact, since modern buildings are expected to use less energy.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other engineering and technology degrees. That means a wider range of WASSCE results may be considered, but you still need to meet the general admission requirements and the specific subject grades Koforidua Technical University publishes for this programme. Check your WASSCE passes against those requirements to see if you qualify.
