        Elective Subjects: Credit passes in THREE (3) subjects from the following disciplines: Visual
        Art, Home Economics, Technical, and Science.

      1. what course did you apply for? It depends. You can WhatsApp me on 054 790 4351 for assistance.

    1. Hello plz I have Geography, physics, Chemistry and E-maths as my electives is it possible to gain admission at as a medical student ( Human Biology)???

      1. No its not possible. These are the requirements:

        Core Subjects: Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, and Integrated Science.
        Elective Subjects: Credit passes in Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Mathematics.

        1. Hello please,am done with diploma in construction technology in KSTU and I want to offer a top up in KNUST,I had a good grade,can I go on and purchase a form

      1. Please what’s the cut off point for degree nursing as an art student and media and communication studies as well? thank you

          1. Please for general nursing what’s the cut off point? Can someone with 19 apply for general nursing?

    1. KNUST did not provide the specific cutoff point for health information management. However the range for health sciences is from aggregate 06 to 13 so you can use that as a guide.

          1. Your grade is very good but students with home economics
            background cannot read BSc. Nursing at KNUST.

    1. yes. look at the courses under engineering. University of Mines and Technology also offers mining courses

        1. Mining is treated under Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (MME).
          BSc. Materials Engineering -12
          BSc. Metallurgical Engineering -14

    1. KNUST hasn’t given specific cutoff points for those courses but for health sciences it ranges from grade 06 to 12 so that can be a guide for you.

    1. For regular No you may not gain admission but for fee paying KNUST does not provide a cutoff point so I can’t tell.

          1. Yes.These are the requirements:

            Core Subjects: Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, and Integrated Science.

            Elective Subjects:
            ii. Credit passes in Food & Nutrition, Management in Living, and Chemistry or Biology.

    1. The cutoff for environmental science is 14 so it’s unlikely you will be given that course.

    1. It is unlikely that you will gain admission but you can always apply. There is no harm in trying.

          1. Yes, it depends on the course you are applying for. If it’s a science related course then they will consider your integrated science grade but if it’s an art course you are applying for then they will consider your social studies grade.

          1. Yes, you can. These are the requirements:

            Entry Requirements
            Core Subjects: Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, and Integrated Science.
            Elective Subjects:
            i. Credit passes in Biology, Chemistry and either Physics or Mathematics OR
            ii. Credit passes in Food & Nutrition, Management in Living, and Chemistry or Biology.

    1. If it is not mentioned in the article, then it means KNUST has not provided the cutoff point for that programme.

  1. So how do you select the campus you want whiles filling the forms and also I want to be sure of this I have seen for tou to pursue bsc in nursing there are two options if you want kumasi the cut off point is 8/9 but the case of obuase the cut off point is 11

    1. The cutoff for BSc. Computer science is 10. Computer science is mostly given to science students. But your grade 11 is not bad you can still apply but your chances may be low.

        1. I can’t tell. KNUST has not provided the cutoff point for dietetics and human nutrition.

  4. Please what program can I read in KNUST with these electives; Applied electricity, Technical drawing, Elective mathematics and Physics
