BBA (HRM/Management)

The BBA in Human Resource Management and Management at KNUST's Obuasi Campus prepares you for the people side of business. Programmes of this kind blend management theory with practical skills in recruiting, training, and supporting employees. The Obuasi Campus admits SHS graduates from Business, General Science, and Home Economics backgrounds.

What human resource management and management programmes cover

A BBA in Human Resource Management and Management focuses on the people side of business and the way organisations run. Typical subjects include recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, employment law, and employee relations, as well as management fundamentals such as strategy, operations, and leadership. The degree builds practical skills in communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and decision-making that are valuable in any workplace.

How competitive a place is

Entry to this programme is competitive, meaning places are limited and your WASSCE results need to stand out among applicants. The Obuasi Campus accepts SHS graduates from three backgrounds: Business, General Science, and Home Economics. If you came through any of those streams, you are eligible to apply, provided your grades meet the competitive standard. Check the university's admissions guidelines to see whether your grades qualify.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates of HRM and management programmes go on to roles in human resources, such as HR officer, recruitment specialist, or training coordinator. Others move into general management, operations, or consulting. Because the skills are broad, you can work in almost any industry — from banks and schools to manufacturing firms and non-profits.
