This degree looks at how countries manage borders, migration and public security. It sits within the social sciences and is taught at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies. It suits students interested in policy, international affairs and governance.

What this field covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine political science, law, public administration and international relations. They examine how governments design policies on migration, how borders are secured, and how public safety and human rights are balanced. You can expect to study topics like refugee protection, border management, civil society, and the role of international organisations.

Where it can take you

Most graduates go on to work in government agencies, international organisations, NGOs and research institutions. Typical roles include immigration officer, policy analyst, security adviser or development practitioner. The programme builds skills in analysis, report writing and project planning, which are useful in many public and private sector jobs.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this programme is less competitive than for many other degree courses. That means the required WASSCE grades are likely to be more attainable, though you still need to meet the university's minimum admission criteria.
