The specific objectives are to:
- Empower students to develop affinity for and understanding of the increasing global inter-dependence of peoples and cultures;
- Develop in students skills and attitudes that will enable them participate in solving the problems of their communities, countries and the world at large;
- Enable students adapt to knowledge gained in decision-making roles in society which require local, national and international perspectives and competence;
- Enable students achieve personal and professional growth within geographic education; and
- Enable students to acquire skills and perspectives for life-long learning.
Target group The programme targets various strands of people: young academics wishing to enhance their knowledge; professionals working in the civil/public services as well as with non-governmental organisations (NGOs); and managers of utilities and services.
The Master of Arts programme in Geography is to produce middle-level graduates with the requisite knowledge and skills to think and analyse geographic issues critically in the competitive global world.
The specific objectives are to:
- Build the capacity of students to critically analyse multi-disciplinary geographic issues in the globalizing world;
- Develop the skills of students to undertake independent research to inform public policy; and
- Equip students with the relevant skills to enable them participate in decision making processes at the local, regional and national levels.
The main aim of the postgraduate programmes in Geography and Regional Planning is to provide students with the necessary tools to think critically and function independently in a globally competitive world.
Candidates applying for each of the programmes must have at least a Second Class Lower Division degree in Geography or related disciplines including Economics, Sociology, Development Studies, Business Management, Agriculture Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Biological Sciences. Applicants would also have to pass an interview to be conducted at the Department.
Programme Structure Students have two academic years to complete the programme. However, those who opt to do part-time will be given an additional year. The first year of the programme would be used for course work which covers two semesters while the second year is devoted to the research component where students prepare a thesis based on an approved topic.

Chemists play a crucial role in mining companies. They also play roles in the field of health, undertaking research into drugs for cure of diseases like cancer. Their work results in the development and bulk production of products like washing powders, rubbers, plastics, paint, and vaccines, among others. You can also be employed as: Chemist with Pharmaceutical companies
Chemistry teacher
Soil chemist/scientists
Laboratory researcher
Work at industries
The B.Sc Chemistry programme covers the composition and mechanism behind all tangible and observable materials that can be seen with the naked eye. Scientists believe that all observable materials are made up of small tiny particles called atoms. The programme teaches student how the atoms which cannot be seen with the naked eye interact to produce the objects that are seen. Our students are taught how to measure the fractions of the different kinds of atoms, the rate of the reactions within the materials, as well as their chemical properties. It is both a laboratory and a field-based programme in which the Chemist get to the ground, gathers materials, and takes them to the laboratory for analysis. Students are trained in various branches of chemistry including inorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, as well as physical chemistry. The programme seeks to imbibe an understanding of the effects that the application of temperature and pressure can have on the transformation of solids, liquids and gases in students.
Applicants must obtain passes in Chemistry, Physics and either Elective Mathematics or Biology.
Successful completion of our programme will usher you onto a platform of opportunities in a world driven by scientific knowledge. Hence, one can work in any of the many science related fields of practice. It also makes one develop a certain versatility in thinking that can make him/her fit for any role in business, industry etc. Graduates can also opt for an advanced study in Physics or related field such as astronomy, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, computer science or the life sciences.
Physics is a natural science based on experiments, measurements and mathematical analysis with the purpose of finding quantitative physical laws for everything from the world of the microcosms to the planets, solar systems and galaxies that occupy the universe. The laws of nature can be used to predict the behaviour of the world and all kinds of machinery. Many of the everyday technological inventions that we now take for granted resulted from discoveries in physics. Our programme will take the student on a journey to explore the complex and interesting world of physics, and how its knowledge relates to and improves our lives today.
Applicants must obtain passes Physics, Chemistry and Elective Mathematics

Being a mathematics teacher also opens bigger avenues in private home teaching for pupils whose parents can afford it. The training the programme offers makes it possible for learners to easily veer into accounting, costing, and banking careers, apart from the career opportunities available in the pharmaceutical and mechanised industry operations for mathematicians.
Applicants to the Ph.D. (Mathematics Education) degree should be holders of a two-year researched master’s degree in mathematics education from the University of Cape Coast or an equivalent institution. An applicant must have obtained a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the coursework at the M.Phil degree level. The applicant will also have to pass a selection interview for admission into the programme.
The applicant becomes a candidate for the Ph.D degree only after obtaining a minimum GPA of 3.0 in all the course work of the Ph.D (Mathematics Education) programme. Assessment in the coursework will normally be by assignments and semester papers only. Candidates will do a minimum coursework of 18 credits.
The second and third years of the programme are devoted to research and thesis writing by the students. Students will be supported through research seminars and supervision to conceptualise, design and carry out empirical research on any issue relevant to mathematics education and write their theses according to regulations laid down by the School of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cape Coast.
The goal of the programme is to prepare mathematics educators competent in both subject matter knowledge and classroom instruction at college of education level through graduate level coursework in mathematics and mathematics education; technological methodologies applicable to mathematics teaching and learning; pedagogical content knowledge and issues needed effective mathematics teaching and learning.
