Bachelor of Technology in Library and Information Science

This degree programme combines traditional library skills with modern information technology. You will learn how to manage, organise, and preserve information in both physical and digital forms. The programme is offered within the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Kumasi Technical University.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover cataloguing and classification, information retrieval, database management, and digital libraries. You also learn about records management, preservation, and how to provide information services to different types of users. The aim is to prepare you for a career in organising and making information accessible.

Careers after graduation

Most graduates go on to work as librarians in academic, public, or special libraries. Others become information managers, records officers, digital archivists, or knowledge managers in government agencies, research institutions, schools, and private organisations. The growing volume of digital information has widened the range of career options for people with these skills.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other computing and technology degrees. That means you have a reasonable chance of gaining admission if you meet the entry requirements. However, you still need to satisfy the university's published entry requirements, so check those before applying.
