B. Sc. Business Information Systems

The B.Sc. Business Information Systems programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) combines business management with computing and information technology. It is less competitive to get into than many other degree programmes, making it an accessible option for SHS leavers. The programme is offered in Kumasi with weekend and evening sessions, so you can plan your studies around your life.

What Business Information Systems actually covers

Business Information Systems sits where business meets computing. Programmes of this kind teach you how to analyse an organisation's needs and design, manage, and support the technology that helps it run. You build a mix of skills: understanding business processes, working with databases, interpreting data for decision-making, and communicating between technical and non-technical people. Most graduates go into roles that link business goals with IT systems, such as business analysis, IT consulting, or systems management.

How competitive the programme is

Entry into this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses. That means your chances of getting a place are stronger than for fields like medicine or law, but you still need to meet the university's minimum admission requirements. The best way to know if you qualify is to check your WASSCE results against the admission criteria published by AAMUSTED for this programme.

Where and when you can study

This programme is offered in Kumasi, Ghana, with weekend and evening sessions. That structure is especially helpful if you are hoping to work or take care of other responsibilities while studying. You can attend lectures outside the regular weekday daytime schedule, giving you more flexibility than a typical full-time day programme.
