B.Sc. Business Administration (Insurance with Actuarial Science)

This degree combines a business administration foundation with specialised study in insurance and actuarial science. It prepares you to assess risk and make data-driven decisions in finance and insurance. At Pentecost University, the programme is less competitive to enter, which may improve your chances of getting a place.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine core business subjects like management, finance, accounting and marketing with specialised courses in insurance principles, risk management, actuarial mathematics and statistical analysis. You build skills in quantitative reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making under uncertainty. The aim is to understand how insurance and financial products work and how to measure and manage risk.

How hard it is to get a place

At Pentecost University, this programme is less competitive than equivalent programmes at some other institutions, such as Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where competition is intense. This means your chances of admission are relatively better, provided you meet the entry requirements. You should still check the specific subject grades and WASSCE results needed by the university before applying.

What you can do with it

Most graduates go into the insurance and finance industries, where they work with numbers and risk. Common roles include actuary, insurance underwriter, risk analyst, claims manager and financial adviser. The combination of business and quantitative skills also opens doors in banking, consulting and government agencies that deal with financial regulation.
