Bachelor of Technology, Industrial Art (Sculpture, Painting, Graphic Design, Ceramics, Textiles)

Industrial Art combines creative vision with practical skills for the workplace. This Bachelor of Technology programme at Ho Technical University allows you to specialise in sculpture, painting, graphic design, ceramics, or textiles, and leads to a variety of careers in the creative economy. It is a less competitive programme to enter, making it an accessible option for many SHS leavers.

What Industrial Art involves

Programmes of this kind usually cover the principles of design, colour theory, and drawing, along with hands-on work in different media. Students develop a portfolio of original pieces and learn to turn creative ideas into finished products. The training blends artistic expression with technical skills, so graduates can work in studios, workshops, or commercial settings.

Specialisations in the programme

The programme offers five specialisations. Sculpture focuses on three-dimensional forms in wood, metal, or stone. Painting develops two-dimensional work for canvas, walls, or paper. Graphic design covers visual communication for print, screens, and branding. Ceramics deals with clay and pottery techniques. Textiles involves weaving, dyeing, and fabric design. Each specialisation builds distinct skills and points towards different career paths.

How competitive is entry?

Entry to this programme is less competitive, meaning it is not as selective as some other degrees. However, you still need to satisfy the university's basic WASSCE requirements. Check the official admissions page or contact the university to confirm you meet them.
