Check if you qualifyThe Diploma in Information Technology Management at the University of Professional Studies (UPS) is a programme under the Faculty of Information Technology & Communication Studies. It is designed for SHS leavers who want to combine technical IT skills with management knowledge. This page explains the field of study, the level of competition for admission, and where the qualification can lead.
What IT management is about
This kind of programme sits at the intersection of technology and business. It typically covers the fundamentals of computer systems, networking, databases, and information security, alongside management topics like project planning, IT service delivery, and basic organisational behaviour. You build practical skills in troubleshooting and support, but also learn how to communicate with non-technical staff and manage technology resources effectively.
How competitive a place is
Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other university programmes. That does not mean it is automatic — you still need to meet the admission requirements set by UPS for the Faculty of Information Technology & Communication Studies. If your WASSCE grades meet the general requirements for diploma studies, you have a strong chance of being considered. Check with the university to confirm what grades you need.
What you can do after graduation
Most graduates from IT management qualifications start in hands-on roles such as IT support technician, systems administrator, or network assistant. With some experience, they often move into IT project coordination, technology sales, or junior management positions where they oversee IT services for a business. The blend of technical and management skills makes you useful in almost any organisation that relies on computers.
