Bachelor of Business Administration (B. B. A.)

The Bachelor of Business Administration at University of Education, Winneba is a degree in business and management studies. It is offered by the School of Business and is open to SHS leavers from Business and General Science backgrounds. Entry is less competitive than at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, making it worth considering if you want to study business.

What you study in a BBA

A BBA is a broad business degree. Programmes of this kind usually cover accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management, operations, and organisational behaviour. You build practical skills in analysis, decision-making, communication, and leadership. These skills transfer to work in banks, companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organisations, and they also help if you plan to run your own business.

How hard it is to get a place

At University of Education, Winneba, the BBA is less competitive than the same programme at KNUST, which is highly competitive. The university accepts SHS graduates from Business and General Science backgrounds. Because entry is less competitive, you may have a better chance of gaining admission here, but you still need to check whether your WASSCE grades meet the programme's stated requirements.

If you come from a General Science background

You do not need to have studied Business in SHS to apply. The university lists General Science as an accepted background for this BBA, so science students are welcome. A business degree can build on the analytical and problem-solving skills you already have, and it opens up career options outside the laboratory.
