Check if you qualify

The BSc Computer Science at Ghana Communication Technology University is a computing degree offered through the Faculty of Computing & Information Systems. It opens the door to a field that builds strong technical and problem-solving skills. Entry is less competitive than at some older public universities, making it a realistic option for many SHS leavers.

What a computer science degree covers

Programmes of this kind typically cover programming, algorithms, data structures, databases, operating systems, networking and software engineering. You also develop general problem-solving and analytical skills that apply to many industries. Most courses mix theory with practical projects, so you learn by building software and working with systems.

How hard it is to get a place

At GCTU, entry to this programme is less competitive compared to the same programme at the University of Ghana, KNUST and UCC. Those universities are highly competitive or competitive, while GCTU is more accessible. That said, you still need to meet the university's published entry requirements for WASSCE and any specific subjects, so check your grades carefully before applying.

What you can do with a computer science degree

Computer science graduates work in nearly every sector. Many start as software developers, systems analysts or IT support engineers. Others move into data analysis, network administration, cybersecurity or further study in specialised fields. The skills you learn are in steady demand in Ghana and internationally.
