Check if you qualify

The BSc in Fashion Design at KNUST is a creative degree that combines design, textiles, and business. It is one of the most sought-after arts programmes in Ghana, and this page explains what you will learn, how hard it is to get a place, and where the degree can take you.

What fashion design programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually train you in the full design process, from drawing and illustration to pattern making and garment construction. You will study textiles, colour theory, fashion history, and how to use industry-standard software for design and merchandising. Many courses also include product development, fashion marketing, and entrepreneurship, so you learn not just how to create clothes but how to sell them and run a brand.

How competitive entry is at KNUST

Admission to this degree is highly competitive, meaning many more students apply than there are places. Strong WASSCE results are essential, and you should check whether your grades meet the published requirements before applying. If you are interested in fashion design but find the competition steep, several other universities in Ghana offer the same programme with less competitive entry, including Accra Technical University, Kumasi Technical University, and Radford University College.
