HND in Information and Communication Technology

The HND in Information and Communication Technology at Tamale Technical University is a diploma programme in the Faculty of Applied Arts. It prepares students for practical work in computing and ICT, covering areas that are central to how modern organisations operate.

What studying ICT is about

Programmes of this kind introduce you to the way computers and networks are used to store, process, and share information. You learn the basics of programming, databases, networking, web development, and IT support, along with the practical skills needed to keep systems running. Most graduates go on to work in roles that involve setting up and maintaining technology for businesses, schools, hospitals, and government offices. Because the field changes quickly, you also build habits for learning new tools and solving problems methodically, which are useful in any workplace.

How competitive entry is

This HND is less competitive to get into than some other computing programmes. That means admission is not as tight, but you still need to meet the published entry requirements for the programme. Check your WASSCE grades against the specific subject requirements to see whether you qualify.
