BSc Electrical/Electronic Engineering

The BSc Electrical/Electronic Engineering programme at KAAF University College is a degree in the Faculty of Engineering & Computer Science. It focuses on the study and application of electrical and electronic systems, from power generation to digital circuits. This page explains what the programme typically covers, how competitive entry is, and what careers it can lead to.

What electrical/electronic engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine electrical engineering and electronic engineering, giving you a broad grounding in both. You'll typically study circuit theory, power generation and distribution, electronic devices, control systems, communications, and digital signal processing. The degree builds strong problem-solving, mathematics, and practical laboratory skills, which are useful in many technical industries.

How competitive entry is

Entry to this programme at KAAF University College is less competitive, which means you may have a better chance of getting a place than at institutions where the same programme is highly competitive. For example, the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, while other institutions like Ashesi University, Cape Coast Technical University, and Kumasi Technical University also have less competitive entry. Always check your grades against the specific requirements to see if you qualify.

What graduates go on to do

Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering programmes typically work in industries such as power generation and distribution, telecommunications, electronics manufacturing, automation, and renewable energy. Common job roles include electrical engineer, electronics engineer, control systems engineer, network engineer, and power systems engineer. Some graduates also pursue further study or research.
