BEd Social Studies

The BEd Social Studies at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies is a degree in education that prepares students to teach social studies in schools. It blends knowledge of society, history, and civic issues with practical teaching skills. This page explains what the programme involves, how accessible it is to enter, and the career paths it can lead to.

What the programme typically covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine academic study of social science subjects with professional training in teaching. Students explore areas such as history, geography, government, and civic education, and also learn how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student progress. The goal is to produce teachers who understand society deeply and can explain it clearly to young people.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than for many other degree courses. That means students with WASSCE results that meet the school's general admission requirements have a good chance of being accepted. You will not need the very highest aggregate, but it is still important to check the university's published entry requirements to confirm that your own grades qualify.

What you can do with this degree

The most common career is teaching social studies at the junior or senior high school level. The knowledge and skills gained also prepare graduates for roles in education administration, curriculum development, and teacher training. Some graduates apply their understanding of society and civic issues to work in community development, the civil service, or non-governmental organisations focused on education.
