Diploma in Governance, Migration and Security

This diploma at SD Dombo University is offered through the Center for Environment, Migration and International Relations (CEMIR). It covers the connections between governance, migration and security, and is a social sciences programme with broad relevance to public service and international work.

What this kind of diploma covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine political science, law and international relations. They cover how states and organisations respond to migration, why people move, and how security threats are identified and managed. You will also learn how good governance and public institutions shape these responses. Through case studies and policy analysis, you can expect to develop skills in research, critical thinking and written communication. These are useful in a wide range of careers where understanding people movement and public safety matters.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other university courses. If you meet the university's entry requirements, you have a realistic chance of being offered a place. The university will state the specific WASSCE subjects and grades needed, so check its admissions information for those details.

Where governance, migration and security graduates work

Graduates with this background often find work in government ministries, immigration services, security agencies, NGOs and international organisations. Typical roles include immigration officer, policy analyst, refugee protection assistant, border management and security consultancy. The diploma can also be a foundation for further study in law, political science or international relations.
