BSc. Information & Communication Technology

The BSc in Information & Communication Technology at Presbyterian University's Okwahu Campus is a practical degree in computing and IT. Programmes of this kind prepare you to design, build, and manage the digital systems that organisations rely on. This page explains what the course covers, how hard it is to get a place, and the careers you can pursue after graduation.

What an ICT degree covers

ICT programmes of this kind usually cover the fundamentals of computing, from programming and database design to computer networks and information systems. You will learn to install and maintain systems, manage data, secure networks, and support users. Most courses also include practical projects where you apply these skills to real problems, building a portfolio employers value. The work is hands-on and constantly evolving, so expect to study current tools and techniques used across industry and government.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many computing degrees, which means your chances of admission are better. The published requirement is Elective Mathematics, or a C4 or better in Core Mathematics. The university accepts students from both Business and General Science backgrounds, so you do not need to have studied Computer Science in SHS to apply.

What you can do after graduation

Graduates with an ICT degree typically go into roles that keep technology running in businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies. You might work as an IT support officer, network administrator, database administrator, or system analyst. Others move into software development, cybersecurity, or IT consulting. The skills you gain are in demand across every sector of the economy.
