Bachelor of Technology in Accounting and Finance

Accounting and finance is the language of business money matters. This Bachelor of Technology programme at Koforidua Technical University, offered through the Faculty of Business and Management Studies, prepares you to handle financial records, analysis, and decisions. It is less competitive to enter than most university business degrees, so it deserves a place on your application list.

What accounting and finance programmes actually cover

Programmes of this kind typically start with the basics of financial accounting, management accounting, and business law, then move into financial management, taxation, auditing, and corporate finance. You practise preparing accounts, interpreting financial reports, and using data to guide business decisions. You also develop strong numeracy, attention to detail, and the ability to present financial information clearly.

How hard is it to get in?

Entry into this programme is less competitive than into equivalent degrees at most other universities. That means if you have passes in your WASSCE subjects and meet the university's published requirements, you have a strong chance of being offered a place. The exact grades you need are set by the university, so check their admissions page or call them before you apply. Do not rely on vague aggregates you hear from friends; only the university's own list matters.

What kinds of jobs can it lead to?

Most graduates from accounting and finance programmes find work as accountants, auditors, tax officers, financial analysts, or bank officers. They are needed in every sector: private businesses, audit firms, banks, insurance companies, government ministries, and even non-profits. Many graduates also go on to study professional qualifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or ICA-Ghana to become chartered accountants.
