BSc Nursing

The BSc Nursing at Christian Service University College is a degree programme offered under the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences. It prepares you for a career in nursing, a field that combines medical knowledge with practical patient care. This page tells you what the programme typically covers, how hard it is to get into, and what you can do after graduating.

What nursing involves

Nursing programmes of this kind usually cover human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, public health, and patient care across different medical settings. You will learn clinical skills such as taking vital signs, administering medication, wound care, and assisting in surgeries, as well as communication and ethical decision-making. Most programmes include practical placements in hospitals and clinics, so you graduate with hands-on experience.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to the BSc Nursing at Christian Service University College is less competitive than at some other Ghanaian universities. For comparison, the same programme at KNUST, University of Health and Allied Sciences, and University of Cape Coast is highly competitive, and at University of Ghana it is competitive. This means your WASSCE grades may be more likely to meet the entry threshold here. Check the specific subject requirements with the university to confirm whether your grades qualify.

What you can do with a nursing degree

Nursing graduates work in hospitals, clinics, and community health centres, providing direct patient care and health education. You can specialise in areas such as paediatrics, midwifery, mental health, or public health, and you may also move into nursing leadership, research, or teaching. Many graduates work with the Ghana Health Service, private facilities, or international organisations.
