Programme Overview
Political Science Education as a subject is very attractive to applicants because of its evolving nature. There has been a growing interest in the subject since the inception of the Department of Political Science Education. The BA Political Science Education programme aims to train professional competent Government teachers, practitioners and researchers for the education and other sectors of Ghana’s space economy. The programme is designed to prepare teachers to teach Government as well as other minor courses such as Economics, Geography, History and Social Studies at the pre-tertiary levels of education in Ghana. The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science Education programme thus provides an important opportunity for the growing number of applicants interested in the subject, and in the process produce graduates to meet the demands of the emerging Colleges of Education and Senior Secondary Schools in the country. Students reading BA Political Science Education are made to select options from BA Social Studies Education, BA Geography Education, BA Economics Education and BA History Education as minor areas. The objectives of the programme are to:
Initiate and offer an undergraduate programme in Political Science, Government and Political Science-related areas;
Offer the minor students the opportunity to teach all the basic aspects of Government at the pre-tertiary schools in the absence or in combination with their major courses
Encourage the production of textbooks in Political Science Education, Government and Citizenship Education as well as other teaching and learning materials for use in the country’s pre-tertiary levels of education;
Provide service courses in the subject to students in other disciplines in the University so as to acquaint them with the subject matter of Political Science
Conduct timely and relevant research into issues of governance and politics in the country and beyond to promote scholarship in the University
Collaborate with schools and relevant agencies (e.g. District Assemblies, non-governmental organisations, public and civil service institutions)
Offer relevant services on governance and politics to the non-university community as part of the University’s outreach programme to society at large.
