Check if you qualify

The BSc Information Technology at Ghana Communication Technology University is a degree in computing and information systems. IT programmes of this kind focus on the practical application of computing to solve real-world problems, preparing you for a range of technical roles.

What you will learn in an information technology programme

Programmes of this kind typically cover the practical side of computing: programming, databases, networking, web development, systems analysis and technical support. You build skills in diagnosing problems, designing digital solutions, and managing the technology that businesses and institutions depend on. The emphasis is often on applying technology to real organisational needs rather than on computer science theory alone.

How difficult it is to get a place

Entry into this programme is less competitive than many other computing degrees in Ghana. For comparison, the same programme at the University of Ghana is highly competitive, and at the University of Cape Coast it is competitive. At institutions like Academic City University College, Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development, and Catholic University of Ghana, it is also less competitive. Because it is less competitive, your chances of admission are generally better, but you should still check whether your WASSCE grades meet the published requirements for the programme.
