Bachelor of Technology in Secretaryship and Management Studies

The Bachelor of Technology in Secretaryship and Management Studies at Koforidua Technical University is a degree programme from the Faculty of Business and Management Studies. It focuses on the skills needed for effective administration, documentation, and office management in public and private sectors. Because it is less competitive than many other degree programmes, it offers a realistic pathway into higher education for many SHS leavers.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind typically combine secretarial practice with management principles. You are likely to study office administration, business communication, record keeping, human resource relations, and the use of common office software. They also develop professionalism, attention to detail, and the ability to organise work under pressure.

Skills that transfer to many workplaces

The practical nature of secretaryship and management studies means you graduate with skills you can use immediately in an office environment. These include typing and document preparation, data entry, scheduling, customer service, and basic financial record keeping. Because these skills are needed across almost every sector, graduates are not limited to one industry.

How competitive is admission?

This programme is described as less competitive to get into. That means the demand for places is lower than for some other business programmes, and your chance of gaining admission with a fair WASSCE result is generally better. However, you still need to meet the specific requirements set by Koforidua Technical University, so check the published entry criteria to see if your grades qualify.
