Bachelor of Business Administration Human Resource Management

A Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management focuses on how organisations recruit, develop, and support their employees. Offered by the School of Business at the University of Education, Winneba, this programme is less competitive to enter, so your WASSCE grades may not need to be as high as for other business degrees. Here is what the field covers, how difficult entry really is, and the careers you can pursue after graduation.

What human resource management actually involves

Human resource management is about the people who make an organisation run. Programmes of this kind usually cover recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, pay and benefits, and employment law. You also build practical skills in communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, and data handling, since modern HR decisions increasingly rely on workforce analytics.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other business degrees, so your WASSCE aggregates do not need to be as high. The School of Business accepts students from both Business and General Science backgrounds, which gives you flexibility if you did not study Business at SHS. Always check the university's official admission list for the exact subject requirements, as entry bands describe general difficulty rather than a fixed cut-off.

Where HR graduates go next

Most graduates of HR management programmes go on to work in human resources departments or specialised HR consultancies. Typical job titles include HR officer, recruitment specialist, training and development coordinator, and compensation and benefits analyst. Some also move into general management, because the people skills you learn apply to leading teams in any sector.
