Check if you qualifyThe BTech Cyber Security programme at Accra Technical University prepares you to protect computer systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It is a practical degree within the Faculty of Applied Sciences, designed for students with a General Science background.
What cyber security study covers
Programmes of this kind usually teach you how to identify weaknesses in systems, defend against hacking, and respond to security incidents. You learn about network security, encryption, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and the legal side of information security. The work is hands-on and technical, building skills in problem-solving and attention to detail.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other computing courses. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be at the top range, but you still need to meet the university's basic requirements. The college admits students from a General Science background, so if you studied that in SHS, you are on the right track.
