BSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering

BSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Ghana Communication Technology University is a degree in the Faculty of Engineering. It admits students from Business, General Science, or Technical Studies backgrounds who want to work with electrical systems and electronic devices. Entry is less competitive than many other engineering programmes, making it an accessible choice for qualified SHS leavers.

What electrical and electronic engineering covers

Electrical and electronic engineering is a broad discipline that deals with the generation, transmission, and use of electrical power, as well as the design of electronic circuits and systems. In a typical degree, you will study circuit analysis, analogue and digital electronics, electromagnetic fields, and power systems, and develop practical skills in building and testing devices. Most graduates go into industries such as power generation, telecommunications, manufacturing, and automation.

Who can apply and how hard it is to get a place

The Faculty of Engineering at GCTU accepts applicants from Business, General Science, and Technical Studies, so you do not need a pure science background to apply. Entry to this programme is less competitive than many engineering degrees, but you still need to meet the published WASSCE subject requirements. Similar programmes at Accra Technical University, Ho Technical University, University of Energy and Natural Resources, and University of Mines and Technology are also less competitive, which means you have several accessible options across the country.
