B. Sc. Procurement and Supply Chain Management

This B.Sc. in Procurement and Supply Chain Management from Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development prepares you to manage the flow of goods and services from suppliers to customers. It sits within the faculty of Accounting Education and is part of the Business and Management Studies field. Here is what you need to know about the programme and where it can take you.

What procurement and supply chain management covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover how organisations buy goods and services, manage suppliers, control inventory, and plan logistics. You learn to negotiate with vendors, analyse markets, and use data to make decisions that reduce cost and improve efficiency. The field is central to almost every business, from retail to manufacturing to healthcare.

How competitive entry is

This programme is less competitive than many other degrees, so if you meet the subject requirements, you have a good chance of getting a place. The same programme at several other universities in Ghana is also less competitive, so you have multiple options. The programme is delivered in Kumasi with weekend and evening classes, giving flexibility for work and study.

What you can do with this degree

Graduates of procurement and supply chain programmes typically go into roles that involve buying, moving, and managing goods and materials. You might work as a procurement officer, supply chain analyst, logistics coordinator, or inventory manager in government, industry, or retail. The skills you build are in demand in every sector that purchases, stores, or distributes products.
