Have you received your WASSCE results and are wondering, “What course can I study with my results?”
Choosing a university course after WASSCE can be difficult. You may have good grades but still be unsure which programmes match your subjects, interests and career goals.
Instead of asking ChatGPT simply, “What course should I study?”, you can give it your WASSCE subjects and grades and use a detailed prompt to generate courses you can research.
In this guide, we show you the best ChatGPT prompt to find university courses based on your WASSCE results, together with additional prompts for Science, General Arts, Business, Visual Arts and Home Economics students.
Important: ChatGPT can help you explore your options, but it should not be treated as an official admission checker. Always verify the current programme requirements directly from the university before applying.
Best ChatGPT Prompt to Find a Course With Your WASSCE Results
Copy and paste the prompt below into ChatGPT.
The Prompt
I am a Ghanaian WASSCE graduate trying to decide what university course to study. Here are my WASSCE results:
English Language: [Grade]
Core Mathematics: [Grade]
Integrated Science: [Grade]
Social Studies: [Grade]
Elective 1: [Grade]
Elective 2: [Grade]
Elective 3: [Grade]My SHS programme: [General Science/General Arts/Business/Home Economics/Visual Arts/etc.]
My strongest subjects are: [subjects]
Subjects I enjoy most: [subjects]
My interests are: [interests]
My career interests are: [careers]
Based on this information, suggest 15 university courses I could research. Rank them according to how closely they match my WASSCE subjects, academic strengths, interests and career goals.
For each course, explain:
- Why it may be suitable for me.
- What I would generally study.
- Possible career paths.
- Important subjects or skills for the course.
- What admission requirements I need to verify.
Do not assume that I qualify for any course. Do not invent admission requirements, universities, salary figures or career opportunities. Clearly identify information that I need to verify from the official university website.
How to Use the Prompt
You don’t need to be an expert at writing ChatGPT prompts.
Simply replace the information in brackets with your actual results.
For example:
English Language: B3
Core Mathematics: B2
Integrated Science: B3
Social Studies: A1
Biology: B2
Chemistry: B3
Physics: C4
Then tell ChatGPT your interests.
For example:
I enjoy Biology and Chemistry, I like helping people, and I am interested in healthcare.
ChatGPT can then help you identify university courses worth researching.
Why Your WASSCE Results Matter When Choosing a Course
Your WASSCE results are an important starting point because different university programmes have different subject requirements.
For example, a student with strong performance in Mathematics and Science may want to explore programmes in areas such as:
- Computer Science
- Engineering
- Information Technology
- Data-related programmes
- Physical Sciences
- Mathematics
- Other technology-related fields
A student with strong Biology and Chemistry results may instead explore health and science-related programmes.
However, having a good grade in a particular subject does not automatically mean you qualify for every course related to that subject.
Universities have specific admission requirements.
That is why your ChatGPT prompt should ask you to verify eligibility from official sources.
ChatGPT Prompt to Find Courses Based on WASSCE Aggregate
If you already know your WASSCE aggregate, you can use a separate prompt.
Copy and paste:
My WASSCE results are [insert results] and my aggregate is [aggregate]. I want to study at university in Ghana. Suggest university courses that I should research based on my academic results, strongest subjects, interests and career goals. Group the suggestions into courses that appear to be a strong academic match, courses I should investigate further and alternative options. Do not claim that my aggregate guarantees admission. Tell me which requirements I must verify from each university’s current official admission information.
This is useful because students often focus only on their aggregate when choosing a course.
Your subject combination and grades can also be important.
ChatGPT Prompt to Choose a Course Based on Your SHS Programme
Your SHS programme can give you a useful starting point.
Prompt:
I completed [General Science/General Arts/Business/Home Economics/Visual Arts] at SHS in Ghana. My WASSCE results are [insert results]. Suggest university courses related to my SHS background that I should consider. Also suggest some alternative courses I may qualify to research based on my subjects. Explain why each course may fit me and tell me what admission requirements I should verify.
This can help students discover options outside the obvious choices.
ChatGPT Prompt for General Science Students
If you completed General Science:
I am a Ghanaian General Science WASSCE graduate. My results are [insert results]. I am interested in [career/interests]. Suggest university courses in science, technology, engineering, computing, health and other relevant fields that I should research. Rank them based on my subjects, grades and interests. Do not assume I qualify. Tell me what current admission requirements I need to verify.
You can then ask ChatGPT to compare your top five options.
ChatGPT Prompt for General Arts Students
General Arts students have many university options.
Use:
I am a Ghanaian General Arts WASSCE graduate with these results: [insert results]. My strongest subjects are [subjects] and I am interested in [interests/careers]. Suggest 15 university courses I could research. Include courses related to humanities, social sciences, communication, business, education, law and other relevant areas. Explain why each may suit me and identify the admission requirements I need to verify.
Don’t assume that being a General Arts student limits you to only a few courses.
Your actual subjects, grades and university requirements matter.
ChatGPT Prompt for Business Students
If you studied Business:
I completed Business at SHS in Ghana. My WASSCE results are [insert results]. I am interested in business, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, economics and technology. Suggest university courses that match my results and interests. Compare the courses based on what students generally study, skills developed and possible career directions. Do not invent admission requirements.
Possible areas to research could include:
- Accounting
- Finance
- Economics
- Business Administration
- Marketing
- Management
- Procurement
- Logistics
- Entrepreneurship
- Information-related business programmes
Your university choices and eligibility should still be verified.
ChatGPT Prompt for Visual Arts Students
Visual Arts students can also use ChatGPT to explore different university pathways.
Prompt:
I completed Visual Arts at SHS in Ghana. My WASSCE results are [insert results]. My strongest areas are [insert subjects/skills], and I am interested in [design/art/media/architecture/fashion/communication/etc.]. Suggest university courses I could research. Explain what each course involves, possible career directions and what admission requirements I need to verify.
This can help you think beyond the most obvious programme choices.
ChatGPT Prompt for Home Economics Students
Use this prompt if you studied Home Economics:
I completed Home Economics at SHS in Ghana. My WASSCE results are [insert results]. I am interested in [nutrition, hospitality, fashion, education, business, food science, etc.]. Suggest university courses that could match my background and interests. Explain why each course may fit me and what admission requirements I should verify before applying.
ChatGPT Prompt to Find Courses Based on Your Best Subjects
Sometimes your strongest subjects can reveal possible areas of study.
Prompt:
My three strongest WASSCE subjects are [subjects]. Explain what university courses may relate to these subjects. Give me 10 course options and explain the connection between each course and my strengths. Also identify courses I should research even if they are not directly related to my strongest subjects. Do not assume that I meet admission requirements.
ChatGPT Prompt to Find Courses Based on Your Interests
Your grades aren’t everything.
You should also think about what you actually enjoy.
Prompt:
My WASSCE results are [results]. I enjoy [activities/subjects], I am good at [skills], and I dislike [activities/subjects]. My career interests include [careers]. Suggest university courses that may match my interests, academic strengths and preferred type of work. Explain the advantages and possible challenges of each course.
This can produce more personalized recommendations than using grades alone.
ChatGPT Prompt If You Don’t Know What Course to Study
Many students simply don’t know what they want to study.
That’s normal.
Try this:
I have completed WASSCE in Ghana but I don’t know what university course to choose. My results are [insert results]. Ask me 15 questions about my interests, strengths, personality, preferred work environment, favourite subjects and career goals. After I answer, suggest university courses that may suit me and explain your reasoning. Do not make the final decision for me.
This turns ChatGPT into an interactive course-selection assistant.
ChatGPT Prompt to Compare Two Courses
Suppose you’re choosing between Computer Science and Information Technology.
Ask:
I am deciding between Computer Science and Information Technology. Compare the two courses based on subjects studied, skills developed, possible career paths, specialization opportunities, further education and the type of student each course may suit. Based on my WASSCE results and interests below, tell me which one I should research first and explain why. Do not claim that one is universally better.
You can replace the courses with any two programmes.
ChatGPT Prompt to Compare Five Courses
If you already have a shortlist:
These are the five university courses I am considering: [Course 1], [Course 2], [Course 3], [Course 4], [Course 5]. My WASSCE results are [results], my strongest subjects are [subjects], and my career interests are [interests]. Compare these courses based on academic fit, personal interest, skills required, career pathways and further study opportunities. Identify my top three courses to research further and explain why.
This can make your shortlist much easier to evaluate.
ChatGPT Prompt to Check if You Qualify for a Course
This is one of the most useful prompts.
However, you need to provide the actual current admission requirements.
Prompt:
Here are the official admission requirements for [course] at [university]: [paste requirements].
My WASSCE results are: [insert results].
Compare my results with the requirements line by line. Tell me which requirements appear to be satisfied, which are not satisfied and which require further confirmation. Do not make assumptions or change the requirements. Do not tell me that I am guaranteed admission.
This is safer than asking:
“ChatGPT, can I enter university with these results?”
ChatGPT Prompt to Find Alternative Courses
What happens if your first-choice course doesn’t work out?
Ask:
My first-choice university course is [course], but I want alternative options in case I do not meet the requirements or cannot get admission. Based on my WASSCE results, interests and career goals, suggest 10 related courses I should research. Explain how each alternative connects to my original career goal.
This gives you a backup plan.
ChatGPT Prompt to Find a Course With Your Career Goal
If you already know what you want to become:
My career goal is to become a [career]. My WASSCE results are [results]. Suggest university courses that could potentially lead toward this career. Explain the connection between each course and the career, and identify any professional or university requirements I need to verify.
For regulated professions, make sure you check the relevant professional requirements.
ChatGPT Prompt to Choose a Course Based on Career Opportunities
Don’t ask AI simply:
“Which course makes the most money?”
Use a more useful prompt:
Based on my WASSCE results, interests and skills, suggest university courses that could provide different career opportunities in Ghana. For each course, explain the industries graduates may work in, transferable skills and possible specialization areas. Do not guarantee employment or invent salary statistics.
This gives you a broader picture.
ChatGPT Prompt to Find Courses You Never Considered
You may be surprised by the results if you ask ChatGPT to think beyond your initial choices.
Prompt:
Based on my WASSCE results, interests, strongest subjects and career goals, suggest 10 university courses that I may not have considered. For each one, explain why it could be relevant to me and what I should research before deciding.
Sometimes the best option is not the first course that comes to mind.
Don’t Choose Your Course Based on WASSCE Results Alone
Your results are important, but they are only one part of the decision.
Before choosing a course, consider:
Your interests
Do you actually enjoy the subject area?
Your strengths
Do you have the academic foundation needed for the programme?
The course content
Do you understand what you will actually study?
Your career goals
Does the programme connect with the type of career you want?
Admission requirements
Do you meet the current requirements?
University options
Which universities offer the programme?
Future opportunities
What industries, professions or further-study options can the programme lead toward?
Be Careful With ChatGPT’s Course Recommendations
ChatGPT can be useful, but it can also make mistakes.
It may provide:
- Outdated admission requirements
- Incorrect programme names
- Incorrect university information
- Outdated course availability
- Incorrect assumptions about eligibility
- Inaccurate salary information
Therefore, don’t use ChatGPT as your final authority.
Use it to generate ideas and organize your research.
Then verify important information from official university sources.
Never Give ChatGPT Your Application Password or PIN
When using these prompts, you don’t need to provide sensitive information.
Do not share:
- University application passwords
- Application PINs
- Mobile Money PINs
- Bank details
- Card numbers
- Verification codes
- Account passwords
Your WASSCE grades and general academic information are enough for most course-selection prompts.
A Better Way to Use ChatGPT for Course Selection
The best process is:
WASSCE Results

Choose Your Preferred Course
This approach is much better than asking AI to make the decision for you.
Example: From WASSCE Results to Course Shortlist
Imagine a student has:
- Strong Mathematics
- Strong Integrated Science
- Good Physics
- Good Chemistry
- Interest in technology
- Interest in solving problems
Instead of asking:
“What course should I study?”
The student can ask:
“Based on my WASSCE results, interest in technology and strong Mathematics and Science performance, suggest 15 university courses I should research. Explain the differences between them and identify the admission requirements I need to verify.”
The student might then discover several areas worth researching, rather than immediately choosing one programme.
