Bachelor of Science in Management Studies

The Bachelor of Science in Management Studies at Central University's Central Business School is designed to prepare you for the challenges of running and organising businesses. This programme suits students from Business and General Science backgrounds who want to build practical skills for the workplace.

What management studies covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover how organisations work, how people are managed, and how day-to-day operations are planned and controlled. You will learn about business strategy, leadership, finance, marketing, and how to make decisions based on data. The emphasis is on practical skills like problem-solving, communication, and working in teams, which are valuable in almost every industry.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other business degrees. That means that if you meet the basic admission requirements, your chances of being offered a place are reasonably good. Central University accepts students from both Business and General Science backgrounds, so you do not need to have studied business subjects at SHS to apply. You should still check that your WASSCE grades meet the university's general requirements.

What you can do with this degree

A management studies degree opens doors across the economy. Graduates typically start as management trainees in banks, insurance companies, telecoms, and manufacturing firms. With experience, you could move into roles such as operations manager, project coordinator, or business consultant. Many graduates also go on to run their own businesses, using the skills they learned about planning and managing resources.
