Check if you qualify

BSc Public Health Nursing at Wisconsin International University College is a degree programme that prepares you to protect and improve the health of whole communities. You will study how to prevent illness, promote healthy living, and provide nursing care beyond hospital walls. Entry is less competitive than at some other Ghanaian universities, so it can be a practical choice for SHS leavers interested in public health.

What public health nursing programmes cover

Programmes of this kind typically combine nursing fundamentals with public health science. You can expect to learn about epidemiology, health education, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and environmental health. Most degrees also include practical community placements, so you will graduate knowing how to plan and deliver care to populations, not just individual patients.

How competitive is this programme to enter?

Entry to public health nursing at Wisconsin International University College is less competitive, according to the university's own positioning. This means you are likely to have a better chance of gaining admission here than at institutions where the same degree is highly competitive, such as the University of Health and Allied Sciences. Still, you should check the specific WASSCE subject grades required for nursing before applying.
