Check if you qualifyApplied Informatics is a computing degree that trains you to solve real-world problems with information technology. At Accra Technical University, the programme is offered under the Faculty of Applied Sciences. Entry is less competitive than many other computing programmes, making it a practical choice for General Science students.
What applied informatics covers
Programmes of this kind focus on how information systems are designed, built, and used in organisations. You typically learn programming, database management, systems analysis, and how to match technology to business needs. The emphasis is on applying computing knowledge to practical contexts, so you build skills in analysis, problem-solving, and managing IT projects.
How competitive entry is
Entry into this programme is less competitive than many other computing degrees. The college admits students from General Science backgrounds, so if you have studied science at SHS and are interested in computing, this is a route worth exploring. As with all programmes, you still need to meet the university's entry requirements and check whether your WASSCE grades qualify.
