Sciences
Animal Biology and Conservation Science
Animal Biology and Conservation Science teaches you to study animals and their environments scientifically, with a strong focus on protecting biodiversity and managing the impact of environmental change. You'll cover everything from wildlife health to genetics, preparing you to work in conservation, research, and public health-adjacent fields.
Sciences
Applied Geochemistry
Applied Geochemistry studies the chemical composition and processes of the Earth's crust and how they relate to mineral deposits, energy resources, and environmental health. You'll learn to analyze rock, soil, and water samples to understand what minerals or contamination might be present, which is central to mineral exploration, mining, and environmental assessment. Coursework typically covers mineralogy, analytical chemistry techniques, and the geochemical processes behind ore formation. Fieldwork and lab analysis are both major components -- you'll collect samples in the field and then run detailed chemical analysis on them back in the lab.
Sciences
Applied Geophysics
Applied Geophysics uses physics-based methods -- like seismic waves, gravity, and magnetic field measurements -- to study what's happening beneath the Earth's surface without having to dig it up. You'll learn how to collect and interpret geophysical data to find mineral and energy resources, assess groundwater, or evaluate ground conditions before major construction projects. Coursework combines physics, mathematics, and geology, covering topics like seismology, electromagnetic surveying, and geophysical data processing. Expect heavy use of specialized software for interpreting data alongside fieldwork collecting it with geophysical instruments.
Sciences
Applied Nuclear Physics
Applied Nuclear Physics studies the structure and behavior of atomic nuclei and how that knowledge gets put to practical use -- in medicine, energy, industry, and research. You'll learn core nuclear physics theory alongside radiation detection, nuclear instrumentation, and safety protocols, with lab work giving you hands-on experience with the equipment used in real nuclear applications. Coursework typically covers nuclear reactions, radiation physics, and nuclear energy systems, and most programmes require a final-year research project or dissertation. It's a physics-heavy degree that opens doors into medical physics, energy, and research roles rather than pure theoretical physics alone.
Sciences
Biochemistry
Biochemistry teaches you the chemistry of living things -- how molecules inside cells work together to keep organisms alive and functioning. You'll study everything from DNA and proteins to metabolism, building skills relevant to medicine, pharmaceuticals, and biological research.
Sciences
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics sits at the crossroads of biology, computer science, and statistics, teaching you to analyze and interpret large biological datasets -- like DNA sequences, protein structures, and genomic data. You'll learn programming (usually Python or R), molecular biology, and statistical methods, and apply them to real problems like decoding genetic information or modeling how proteins fold. Coursework typically covers algorithms, database management, and genomics, with hands-on projects building actual bioinformatics tools and pipelines. It's a computational degree grounded in biology, ideal for students who want to work at the intersection of life sciences and data science.
Sciences
Biological Science
Biological Science gives you a broad foundation in the study of living organisms -- from cells and genetics to ecosystems and evolution. It's a general, flexible science degree that prepares you for many specialized paths, including further study toward medicine or advanced biological research.
Sciences
Biomathematics
Biomathematics teaches you to use mathematical modeling to understand biological systems -- how diseases spread, how populations grow, and how ecosystems function. It's a genuinely interdisciplinary field, applying rigorous maths to real, complex biological questions in health, ecology, and epidemiology.
Sciences
Biotechnology
Biotechnology teaches you how to use living organisms and biological processes to create useful products -- from improved crops to new medicines. It combines biology with genetic engineering techniques, positioning you at the cutting edge of applying science to real-world problems.
Sciences
Chemistry
Chemistry teaches you how matter behaves at the molecular level -- how substances react, combine, and transform. You'll spend significant time in the lab, building both theoretical understanding and hands-on experimental skills that apply across pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and research.
Sciences
Computational Statistics
Computational Statistics combines statistics with programming -- teaching you not just the theory of analyzing data, but how to use code and computing tools to process large datasets efficiently. It's built for a world where data is everywhere and needs to be analyzed fast.
Sciences
Food Science and Technology
Food Science and Technology applies chemistry, microbiology, and engineering to food processing, preservation, packaging, and quality assurance. You will learn how to turn raw agricultural produce into safe, nutritious, market-ready products while meeting food safety regulations.
Sciences
Forensic Science
Forensic Science teaches you how to apply scientific techniques to support criminal investigations -- analyzing evidence like DNA, fingerprints, and crime scene materials to help solve cases. It combines biology, chemistry, and criminal justice, supporting Ghana's justice system with scientific evidence.
Sciences
General Science
General Science is the broad science track many students take at senior high school -- covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics together -- that opens the door to a wide range of university science, health, and engineering programs. It's less a single university degree and more the foundational path that qualifies you for many others.
Sciences
Geological Science
Geological Science teaches you how the Earth formed and continues to change -- studying rocks, minerals, and geological processes. Unlike Geological Engineering, this is more research and science-focused, providing a strong foundation for understanding Earth's natural resources and hazards.
Sciences
Marine Science
Marine Science teaches you to study the ocean -- its biology, chemistry, geology, and physics -- combining multiple scientific disciplines to understand and address real problems facing Ghana's coastal and marine environments. You'll use modern instrumentation to study everything from marine life to ocean currents.
Sciences
Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of numbers, patterns, and logical structures -- and how to use them to solve real problems. You'll go deep into areas like calculus, algebra, and statistics, building the kind of rigorous thinking that's useful in almost every technical field.
Sciences
Mathematics and Statistics
Mathematics and Statistics combines the logical rigor of pure and applied mathematics with the data-driven insights of statistics. You will learn to model complex real-world problems, analyze large datasets, and draw meaningful conclusions. This degree is highly versatile and valued across many industries.
Sciences
Meteorology and Climate Science
Meteorology and Climate Science studies the atmosphere, weather systems, and climate change. You will learn weather observation, forecasting, climate modelling, remote sensing, and how meteorological information supports agriculture, aviation, disaster preparedness, and water resource management.
Sciences
Microbiology
Microbiology teaches you about the invisible world of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms -- how they function, spread, and affect health, food, and the environment. You'll spend significant time in the lab, learning to identify and study organisms too small to see with the naked eye.
Sciences
