BEd History with Political Science

The BEd History with Political Science is a degree programme offered by the School of Education and Life-Long Learning at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies. It is designed for students who want to combine a deep understanding of history and politics with the skills to teach these subjects at the senior high school level or work in related fields.

What this kind of programme covers

Programmes like this usually involve studying history broadly – including Ghanaian, African, and world history – alongside political science topics such as political theory, governance, international relations, and comparative politics. You also learn how to teach these subjects, including lesson planning, classroom management, and ways to make complex topics understandable for learners. The aim is to give you both subject knowledge and teaching skills.

Why study history and political science

History and political science help you understand how societies have been shaped and how power and governance work. This matters for every citizen, and especially for teachers who will pass this understanding on to the next generation. The programme builds strong skills in critical thinking, research, analysis, and clear argument – abilities that are useful in many careers beyond the classroom as well.

How competitive is entry

Entry into this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses at the university. That means your chances of getting a place are higher, but you still need to meet the entry requirements set by the institution. Check with the admissions office to see if your grades qualify. Do not rely on cut-off points; these change each year and are not the only factor.
