B.Ed in Accounting

The B.Ed in Accounting at Catholic University of Ghana prepares you to teach accounting at the senior high school level while also giving you a strong foundation in accounting practice. This degree combines education methodology with accounting principles, opening routes into both classrooms and business roles.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind combine professional accounting subjects with the theory and practice of teaching. You will typically study financial accounting, cost and management accounting, taxation, and auditing, alongside educational psychology, curriculum design, and assessment methods. The aim is to produce graduates who can teach accounting effectively and also understand how businesses work.

How competitive entry is

This programme is less competitive than many other degree courses at Catholic University of Ghana. That means you have a reasonable chance of securing a place even if your WASSCE results are not at the top of the grade scale. As with any programme, you should still confirm the specific grade requirements with the university admissions office.

Where this degree can take you

Most graduates go into teaching, either in senior high schools or in private educational institutions. Some also work in the business sector as accountants, bookkeepers, or finance officers, while others move into examinations and curriculum development. The combination of accounting knowledge and teaching skills makes you qualified for roles in education administration and training departments.
