Check if you qualify

Computer science programmes focus on how computers work, how to program them, and how to solve real-world problems with code. This degree from GIMPA's School of Technology & Social Sciences is less competitive to enter than similar programmes at some other universities, making it a practical choice for many SHS leavers.

What computer science graduates actually do

Most computer science graduates work with software: designing applications, building websites, managing databases, or keeping systems secure. Others move into data analysis, helping companies make decisions from large sets of information. The field is broad, and many graduates start in roles like junior developer or IT support before specialising.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than at some other institutions, meaning you do not need the very highest WASSCE aggregates to be considered. It is still a degree programme, so you will need passes in core subjects and usually some elective science or maths subjects. Because competition is lower, however, your chances of admission are stronger than at a more competitive school like University of Ghana.

Where this programme can take you

The skills you build in a computer science degree are in demand across Ghana and internationally. You might join a bank as a systems analyst, work for a tech company, or start your own software business. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in areas like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or business IT.
