The programme sits within the Faculty of Computing & Information Systems at Ghana Communication Technology University.
What a data science diploma covers
Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the core of data science: how to collect, clean, store and analyse data using spreadsheets, databases and programming. You also learn statistical reasoning and how to present results through charts and dashboards so nonspecialists can understand them. The goal is to build a working foundation for entry-level roles or further study.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry to this diploma is less competitive than to many other computing programmes at the university. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be exceptionally high to be considered, but you should still meet the published requirements and check whether your results qualify. If your grades are average but you are serious about computing, this is a realistic route in.
