BSc Electronics & Communication Engineering

This degree combines electrical engineering with communication technology, preparing you to design, build, and maintain the electronic systems that keep modern life connected. It suits students who enjoy solving practical problems with maths and physics. Here is what you can expect from a programme like this.

What programmes in this field cover

Programmes of this kind usually cover the theory and practice of electronic circuits, signals, and communication systems. You can expect to work with topics like circuit design, digital electronics, signal processing, telecommunications, and computer networks. Much of the learning is practical — building and testing circuits, using measurement equipment, and writing software for embedded devices.

Where graduates work

Most graduates go into industries that design, build, or operate communication systems. Common employers include telecommunications companies, network operators, electronics manufacturers, and broadcasters. Graduates work on mobile and satellite networks, fibre-optic systems, embedded electronics, and the growing field of the internet of things. Others move into general IT, technical sales, or continue to engineering research.

How competitive is admission

This is a less competitive programme than many other engineering degrees, meaning you may not need top aggregate grades to be considered. However, you still have to meet the minimum WASSCE requirements that Academic City University College sets for this programme. Check the university's published entry requirements to see whether your grades qualify.
