General Entry Requirements – 2024/2025 Academic Year

i. WASSCE Holders (for Degree Programmes)

WASSCE holders seeking admission into Degree programmes must have at least C6 in all their three Core and three Elective Subjects.

WASSCE holders who have Grade D7 or E8 or F9 in any one of their three Core or three Elective subjects are advised not to apply for a degree programme.

Candidates should, therefore, possess, at least, credit scores/grades in the following:

Three Core subjects (English Language, Mathematics (Core) and Integrated Science / Social Studies).
Any three elective subjects in the relevant programmes.
The aggregate Score of the best six subjects (three Core and three Elective subjects) must not exceed 36. However, admissions will be on a competitive basis, and various programmes offered at UDS have their cut-off points much lower than the aggregate 36 for WASSCE.
Candidates should note that Social Studies is not an Elective subject.
For candidates who read Arts and Business subjects at WASSCE, a grade in Social Studies may be used in place of the grade in Integrated Science in the calculation of their aggregates if the Social Studies grade is better than the grade in Integrated Science. This is however on condition that the candidate has at least a pass in Integrated Science.
For Science students, however, Social Studies (Core) does not replace Integrated Science (Core) in the calculation of candidates’ aggregates.

ii. WASSCE Holders (for Diploma Programmes)

Candidates who do not meet the requirements for Degree programmes in UDS are advised to apply for any one of the Diploma programmes (Diploma in Integrated Community Development, Diploma in Integrated Business Studies, and Diploma in Development Management, all of which are offered at the Wa Campus; Diploma in Development Education is offered in Tamale Campus; Diploma in Statistics and Diploma in Computer Science are both offered in Navrongo Campus, and Diploma in Social Change Communication is offered in Nyankpala Campus)

To be admitted into a Diploma programme, three credit passes in the area of specialization (Elective subjects) and at least two passes ( D7 or better) in English Language and Mathematics in WASSCE is required. Any candidate without a pass in English Language and Mathematics (Core) need not apply for the Diploma. It is not likely that all candidates with the minimum requirements for Diploma programmes will be admitted. Preference will be given to candidates who have good grades/credit passes.

Candidates, who have met the requirements for Degree programmes (Credits in three Elective and three Core subjects), but have aggregates that are not good enough may be admitted into Diploma programmes.

Calculation of Aggregates

For the avoidance of doubt, the University for Development Studies has adopted the WASSCE system for the computation of final aggregates. Equivalences are as follows:

WASSCE	Points
A1	1
B2	2
B3	3
C4	4
C5	5
C6	6
