BBA Accounting

Methodist University offers a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting through its Faculty of Business Administration. This degree focuses on the preparation and interpretation of financial information. On this page you will learn what the programme typically covers, how competitive entry is, and what you can do with it afterwards.

What a BBA in Accounting covers

Accounting is the language of business. A BBA in Accounting teaches you how to record, measure and communicate financial information. Programmes of this kind usually cover financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing and corporate finance. You also build practical skills in analysis, spreadsheet use, and professional ethics, which are essential in every type of organisation.

How competitive is entry

This programme is less competitive to get into than many other degree programmes offered at Ghanaian universities. That means you have a better chance of admission than you would for a course with high competition, as long as you meet the general requirements. At Methodist University, the BBA Accounting sits within the Faculty of Business Administration. Similar programmes at Academic City University College and Christian Service University College are also less competitive, so you have options if you want to compare.

Where accounting graduates work

Accounting graduates are needed in every industry. Most go into roles such as accounts assistant, auditor, tax officer, financial analyst, or management accountant. Others work in banks, insurance companies, government ministries, NGOs, or set up their own accounting practices. You can also continue with professional qualifications like ACCA or ICAG to become a chartered accountant.
