BSc. Computer Engineering

The BSc Computer Engineering combines computer science theory with the hardware side of engineering and is run by the Faculty of Engineering. Students study electrical and electronic principles, communication systems, computer hardware and software, data communications, networking and multimedia applications. A cooperative education component places them in industry for a six-month internship during the four years of study. School leavers apply with WASSCE or SSSCE credits in the three core subjects and three science electives, while A-level and technical school applicants have their own routes. The programme targets the many roles that have opened up where electronics, computing and communications meet. Ghana Communication Technology University delivers the course with an applied bent, so classroom study is meant to be tied to practical problems. Prospective applicants should confirm current entry conditions and the application calendar with the admissions office before applying, since arrangements can change from one intake to the next. Students who already hold a related sub-degree award may be able to join at a later level.
