B.Sc. in Computing-With-Accounting

This degree brings together two practical fields. You learn to build and manage software while also understanding how businesses record and report money. That combination prepares you for roles that need both technical skill and financial judgment.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually start with core computing topics such as programming, databases, and networks, then add accounting modules like financial accounting, auditing, and taxation. The aim is to help you understand how computer systems support accounting processes, from payroll to financial reporting. You also build skills in problem-solving, data analysis, and communicating technical information to non-specialists.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates go into roles where finance and technology meet. Common paths include accounting with a focus on accounting software, IT auditing, financial systems analysis, and business intelligence. Some graduates continue to professional accounting qualifications, while others move into software development for financial institutions. The combination is especially useful for jobs that require interpreting financial data and managing the systems that hold it.

How competitive entry is

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to some other computing courses. That does not mean there are no requirements — you still need to meet the standard WASSCE subjects and grades for the degree. If your grades are around the typical minimum, this may be a realistic option, but you should check the specific admission criteria published by the university.
