WHAT ARE THE COURSES AVAILABLE?
 

The Polytechnics offer a wide range of courses to meet the increasing demands of industry. Courses in business, computer science, built environment, design, engineering, health sciences, mass communication, maritime engineering, and nautical studies are available at the Polytechnics. Polytechnic graduates normally find employment shortly after their graduation. This is a clear indication of the high demand for them.

 

We have grouped the courses into broad categories. Please note that the different Polytechnics offer certain courses that are generally similar in content though their names are different.
