BSc Public Health Nursing (Health Promotions)

The BSc Public Health Nursing (Health Promotions) at Catholic University of Ghana's School of Public Health & Allied Sciences prepares students for careers in disease prevention and community wellbeing. This degree combines nursing training with a strong focus on health promotion and education. It is one of the less competitive public health nursing programmes in Ghana, offering an accessible route into the field.

What public health nursing with health promotions covers

Programmes of this kind blend clinical nursing skills with population-level approaches to health. You learn how to assess community health needs, plan and deliver health campaigns, and support behaviour change around issues like sanitation, nutrition, immunisation, and maternal and child health. The health promotions focus means you spend significant time studying communication, community engagement, and programme evaluation.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this programme is less competitive than at some other institutions offering the same field. For example, the University of Health and Allied Sciences is highly competitive, while Catholic University's programme is more accessible. Still, you will need solid WASSCE results that meet the university's published requirements. The exact aggregate cut-off is not listed here, so check your grades against the admission criteria on the university's website.
