B. Sc. Accounting Education

The B.Sc. Accounting Education programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development prepares you to teach accounting and also work in the accounting field itself. It is a degree that combines the practical world of finance with the skills needed to pass that knowledge on to others. The programme is based in Kumasi and is studied full-time.

What accounting education really covers

Programmes of this kind usually blend two areas: accounting subjects such as financial accounting, management accounting, costing, taxation and auditing, and the teaching methods needed to deliver those subjects in a classroom. You build a solid understanding of how businesses and other organisations record and report their money, and you also learn how to plan lessons, assess students and manage a classroom. Most graduates go on to become accounting teachers in senior high schools or technical institutions, but the accounting qualification itself also allows you to move into finance departments, tax offices or audit firms.

How competitive the programme is

This is one of the less competitive degree programmes to get into, meaning the entry bar is lower than for many other university courses. You will still need to meet the university's general admission requirements, and you should confirm that your WASSCE results make you eligible. Because this is a teaching qualification, some institutions may also look for interest or background in business subjects, but the programme itself is designed to be accessible.

What you can do after graduation

With a B.Sc. Accounting Education, you are not limited to teaching. Many graduates start as professional teachers at SHS level and then move into school administration or curriculum development. Others go into accounting roles in banks, public sector institutions or private companies, or continue to professional accounting qualifications. The combination of teaching and accounting makes you useful both in education and in business, and it is a particularly strong starting point if you want to train others in both school and workplace settings.
