B.Sc. Business Administration (Human Resource Management)

This degree focuses on managing people within organisations — hiring, training, performance, and workplace culture. The programme is offered by the Faculty of Business Administration at Pentecost University. Entry is less competitive than equivalent programmes at some other Ghanaian universities, which may improve your chances of admission.

What human resource management covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation and benefits, employee relations, and labour law. You also learn how organisations work, how to communicate effectively, and how to handle conflict. The skills you build — people management, negotiation, and problem-solving — are valuable in any sector.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry at Pentecost University is less competitive than at some other institutions offering similar programmes. For example, the same field at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, while All Nations University is also less competitive. This means your WASSCE results may be enough even if they are not at the top of the range. Check your grades against the published entry requirements to confirm.

Where it can take you

Most graduates go into human resource roles in companies, public sector organisations, and NGOs. You could work as an HR officer, recruiter, training coordinator, or payroll specialist. With experience, many move into HR management or consulting. The qualification also provides a foundation for further study in business or organisational psychology.
