Check if you qualify

The Diploma in Computer Science at Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) sits within the Faculty of Computing & Information Systems. It is a less competitive entry programme that focuses on the core ideas and practical skills behind modern computing.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind typically introduce you to programming, data structures, databases, computer networks, and web development. You also build skills in problem solving, logical thinking, and teamwork, which are valuable in any technology role. Most diplomas of this type balance theory with hands-on practice, so you leave with a working knowledge of how computers and software behave.

How hard is it to get a place?

This diploma is less competitive than many computing programmes. The same is true for similar diplomas at other Ghanaian universities such as Accra Technical University, GIMPA, and Kumasi Technical University, which also list it as less competitive. That means if you meet the basic entry requirements, you have a realistic chance of gaining admission. Always check the latest admission details from GCTU to confirm what you need to apply.
