BSc in Information and Communication Technology

The BSc in Information and Communication Technology at GIMPA is a computing degree that prepares you for the fast-growing ICT field. Offered by GIMPA's School of Technology & Social Sciences, it gives you a practical grounding in how organisations use technology to solve problems. This page explains what the programme typically covers, how competitive entry is, and the careers it can lead to.

What an ICT degree covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover computer fundamentals, programming, networking, databases, and the management of information systems. You learn how to design, implement, and support technology solutions in business and public-sector settings. The degree builds practical skills in troubleshooting, systems analysis, and project management, along with the communication and problem-solving abilities that ICT professionals need.

How hard it is to get a place at GIMPA

Getting into this programme at GIMPA is less competitive than the same degree at some other public universities. For example, the BSc ICT at University of Ghana is highly competitive, while at Sunyani Technical University it is also less competitive. This means you have a stronger chance of gaining admission with your WASSCE results, provided you meet the published entry requirements. Always check GIMPA's official admission page to confirm your eligibility.

Where ICT graduates go

Most graduates from ICT programmes go into roles where they manage, support, or develop technology systems. Typical employers include banks, telecoms companies, government agencies, and IT consultancies. The skills you build are widely applicable, and many graduates also go on to further study in computing or business.
