BTech Construction Engineering Management

This degree blends engineering principles with management skills, preparing you to run construction projects from start to finish. It is offered under the Faculty of Engineering at Accra Technical University and welcomes SHS leavers from General Science, Home Economics, and Technical Studies. Entry is less competitive than many other engineering degrees, so it is worth considering if your grades are average.

What this field is about

Construction engineering management combines the technical side of building with the business of running projects. Programmes of this kind typically cover structural design, construction materials, surveying, project planning, cost estimation, and site safety. You learn how to coordinate workers, equipment, and materials so a project is completed on time and within budget. The skills you build are practical and transferable, from reading drawings to managing people.

Who can apply and how competitive it is

Accra Technical University accepts SHS graduates from General Science, Home Economics, and Technical Studies for this programme. This is a less competitive course compared with traditional engineering degrees, so you do not need top-of-the-class WASSCE results to be considered. Still, you should check the university's current admission requirements to see whether your grades and subject combinations qualify.
