Science, Mathematics and Research
This pathway is for students who already know they want science, mathematics or research and now need to choose between them. Laboratory science, agriculture and food, environment and water, statistics and data, physics and materials, and geology all sit under the same word and lead to very different lives.
It takes you through comparing two real programmes side by side, working out how each system actually counts your grades, and building one piece of work that is longer and more careful than a school assignment.
Everything here should be checked against the programme's own admissions page. Requirements change, and last year's rumour is not this year's rule.
Learning Outcomes
- Choose two branches of science or mathematics and write down what each one leads to and what it demands.
- Compare two real programmes on subjects required, length, placements or co-op, and what graduates go on to do.
- Explain how WASSCE credits and aggregates work for tertiary entry in Ghana, and how Grade 12 course marks are used in Canada.
- Produce one longer investigation with repeated measurements, a chart, and a section on the limits of what you found.
- Bring a two-programme comparison to a mentor and leave with a list of what to check next.
