Bachelor of Technology in Graphic Design

This Bachelor of Technology programme prepares you for a practical career in graphic design, combining creative thinking with digital tools. You will learn to turn ideas into visual communication for print and screen. It is a less competitive programme at Koforidua Technical University, making it an accessible option for SHS leavers interested in design.

What graphic design programmes cover

A graphic design degree trains you to solve visual problems. Core subjects typically include typography, colour theory, layout and composition, branding, and design history. You learn to use professional software for drawing, photo editing, and page layout, and you practise turning client briefs into finished posters, logos, websites, and packaging. Many programmes also introduce user experience and digital media, so your skills stay relevant across print and online.

Skills you will build

Beyond technical software skills, you develop a strong eye for detail, an understanding of what makes visuals communicate clearly, and the ability to give and receive constructive feedback. You also learn to manage your time on real projects, work to deadlines, and present your ideas to others. These are transferable skills that serve you in any design-related role.

How competitive the programme is

This programme is less competitive than many other courses at the university. In practical terms, that means admission is typically easier to secure, and more applicants are likely to receive offers. The university does not list a single cut-off aggregate for this programme on this page, so to find out whether your WASSCE grades meet the requirement, check the university's admissions guidance or contact them directly.
