Check if you qualify

This degree combines economic theory with innovation studies. Offered at Ho Technical University's Faculty of Applied Social Sciences, it prepares you to understand how economies change and how new ideas create value.

What Economics & Innovation programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to microeconomics and macroeconomics, then look at how innovation drives growth. You build skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and understanding markets. The innovation side often covers how businesses develop new products, how technology spreads, and how policy affects enterprise.

How competitive is entry

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other social science degrees. That means your WASSCE grades have a good chance of meeting the requirement, but you should still check the specific subject requirements at Ho Technical University. As with any degree, your final admission depends on the quality of your results.

Career paths for graduates

The combination of economics and innovation suits careers where you need to understand both money and change. Graduates often go into banking, consulting, government planning, or business development. Some become entrepreneurs, others work in research or policy. The skills you build also translate well into roles like data analyst or market researcher.
