Diploma in Information Technology

The Diploma in Information Technology at C. K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences is a practical computing qualification for school leavers. It gives you a foundation in how computers, software and networks work, and prepares you for entry-level IT roles or further study. This programme is less competitive than most degree courses, so your WASSCE grades may be enough to get you in.

What an information technology diploma covers

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to computer hardware, operating systems, programming basics, databases, networking and web development. You also learn practical skills like troubleshooting computer problems, setting up networks and managing data. The goal is to make you employable quickly in IT support and similar roles.

How hard it is to get a place

This diploma is less competitive than most degree programmes, so your grades do not need to be among the best to stand a chance. Similar diploma programmes at other Ghanaian universities are also less competitive. If you are an SHS leaver with WASSCE passes, it is worth applying and checking whether your results meet the diploma requirement.

What you can do after the diploma

Graduates of IT diplomas typically start out as IT support technicians, help desk assistants, network support officers or database assistants. The diploma also provides a pathway to further study in computing, where you can top up to a degree.
