Diploma in Informatics

The Diploma in Informatics at SD Dombo University is a computing programme offered by the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology. It focuses on how people and organisations use information and technology to solve problems and make decisions. This diploma is a practical qualification for those who want to work with data, systems, and digital tools.

What informatics covers

Informatics is the study of how information is created, stored, retrieved, and used. Programmes of this kind typically combine computing fundamentals with an emphasis on understanding user needs, managing data, and designing systems that work for real people. You will build skills in problem solving, data analysis, basic programming, and information management, which are useful across many industries.

How competitive it is

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other computing programmes. This means it is more accessible to students who have the required WASSCE passes, though you should still check that your grades meet the published requirements. Because it is less competitive, it can be a good pathway into computing for students who may not have the highest aggregates but are interested in the field.
