Check if you qualify

Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions about resources. The BSc Economics programme at Ghana Communication Technology University's Business School equips you with analytical and quantitative skills for understanding markets and policymaking. As a less competitive programme, it offers a practical route into the field compared to similar degrees elsewhere.

What economics programmes teach

Economics programmes of this kind usually cover microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and development economics. You build skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and decision-making, learning how to interpret economic trends and how policies affect households and businesses. Most graduates go on to work in banking, finance, government, or research.

How competitive is admission

Entry to BSc Economics at GCTU is less competitive than at some other universities. For example, the same programme at KNUST and University of Cape Coast is highly competitive. GCTU's Business School admits students from Business backgrounds at SHS, so if your secondary education focused on business subjects, you may have a viable path here. As with all programmes, you'll need to check whether your WASSCE grades meet the published requirements.
