Check if you qualify

The Diploma in Information Technology at Methodist University is a programme for SHS leavers who want to build practical computing and IT skills. It is offered at the Dansoman and Tema campuses and sits within the Faculty of Science. Entry is less competitive than many other computing programmes, making it an accessible route into the field.

What studying information technology involves

Programmes of this kind usually cover the fundamentals of computing, including computer hardware, operating systems, networking, and databases. You will also learn programming basics, web development, and how to support users and troubleshoot systems. The emphasis across most IT diplomas is on applying technology to real-world problems, so you can expect to spend significant time working with software and tools in practical sessions.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than for many other university computing programmes. This does not mean standards are low; it means that applicants with solid WASSCE passes have a realistic chance of gaining admission. You should still check Methodist University's specific entry requirements to confirm that your grades and subject choices match.
