Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (HRM Option)

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Human Resource Management (HRM) option at Ghana Communication Technology University's Business School focuses on the people side of business. It suits SHS graduates from the Business track who want to understand how organisations recruit, support, and develop their employees. Entry is less competitive than for many other business degrees, making it an accessible option for applicants with the right background.

What HRM programmes cover

Programmes of this kind typically cover recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employment law, and organisational behaviour. You build skills in communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making. Most graduates go on to work in HR departments of companies, public sector organisations, NGOs, and consultancies.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than some other business degrees. It is open to SHS graduates from the Business background, and applicants need to present a qualifying WASSCE result. Because entry is less competitive, you may have a better chance of admission than at more selective programmes, but you should still check the specific requirements with the university to confirm your grades qualify.

Where an HRM degree can lead

Graduates typically start as HR officers or generalists, handling recruitment, onboarding, and employee records. With experience, many move into roles such as HR manager, training and development officer, or compensation analyst. Some work in consulting, employee relations, or even start their own HR-related businesses. The skills learned are useful across every industry that employs people.
