Bachelor of Technology, Tourism, Leisure and Events Management

Tourism, Leisure and Events Management is a field that combines the business of travel with the planning of experiences. This Bachelor of Technology programme at Ho Technical University, offered through the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology, prepares you for practical work in tourism, hospitality and events. It is a less competitive course to enter, which makes it an attractive option for many SHS leavers.

What tourism and leisure programmes cover

Programmes of this kind typically teach you how tourism destinations work, how leisure facilities are managed, and how events are planned and run. You learn about marketing, budgeting, customer service, cultural awareness, and sustainability in the tourism sector. You also develop practical skills in communication, teamwork and project management, because event coordination involves many moving parts. As a Bachelor of Technology, this degree has a practical orientation. It sits in the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology at Ho Technical University, alongside other hands-on courses. While this particular programme's exact syllabus is set by the university, you should expect an emphasis on real-world situations rather than purely academic theory.

How competitive is entry

According to UniPlanGH's data, this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses. That means a smaller number of applicants compete for each place, so if you meet the university's published entry requirements, your chance of admission is realistic. It does not mean there is no competition, but you do not need top-notch grades to be a strong candidate.
