B-Tech in Computerized Accounting

This degree combines accounting principles with the computer skills needed to run modern finance systems. You will learn to use accounting software, spreadsheets and databases to record transactions, prepare reports and manage financial data. Graduates are prepared for accounting jobs that increasingly rely on technology.

What computerized accounting programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually cover the core areas of accounting: financial accounting, management accounting and taxation. Alongside those, you build practical IT skills in database design, spreadsheet modelling and accounting information systems. The aim is to produce someone who understands both the numbers and the software that handles them, so you are not just entering data but also checking, analysing and reporting on it.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other degree programmes at the same level, which means places are more accessible to students who meet the basic entry requirements. That does not mean you can ignore your grades: you still need the required passes in your WASSCE subjects. The best way to know whether your qualifications are enough is to contact Sunyani Technical University's admissions office directly.

What graduates go on to do

Most graduates start in jobs that involve day-to-day financial record keeping, such as accounts assistant, bookkeeper or payroll officer. With experience, many move into roles like financial analyst, audit assistant or management accountant. Others specialise in supporting the accounting systems themselves, working in IT departments or for software companies that sell accounting packages.
