Diploma in Multimedia Technology

The Diploma in Multimedia Technology at Ghana Communication Technology University is a computing programme that combines creative design with practical media production. It is offered by the Faculty of Computing & Information Systems and prepares students for work in the digital media industry. Entry is less competitive than many computing programmes, making it an accessible option for SHS leavers interested in this field.

What a multimedia technology programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually teach you how to create and edit digital media, including graphics, audio, video, and web content. You learn to use industry-standard software and also get an introduction to programming and design principles. Most courses include practical projects where you build a portfolio of work, which is the main thing employers look for when hiring.

How competitive entry is

This diploma programme is less competitive than many other computing programmes at the university, meaning your chances of getting a place are better. However, you still need to meet the general requirements set by the university for diploma admission. For the specific WASSCE grades or qualifications needed, refer to the university's official admissions information.
