BBA in Accounting

This programme combines business management with a deep focus on accounting. You will learn how to record, classify and interpret financial information, and how that information is used to run an organisation. It is a practical degree that sets you up for professional accountancy roles.

What accounting programmes usually cover

Programmes of this kind typically include financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, taxation and business law. You will also study finance, economics and business management, which give you a broad understanding of how organisations operate. Beyond the theory, you develop skills in numeracy, analytical thinking, attention to detail and clear communication — all essential in the accounting profession.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other business degrees at Ghanaian universities. If you meet the general entry requirements, you have a reasonable chance of being offered a place. It is still a good idea to confirm with the admissions office whether your specific WASSCE grades qualify you, and to apply early.

What you can do after you graduate

Accounting graduates are in demand in every sector. You can work in public accounting firms, banks, government agencies, NGOs, or as an internal accountant within any company. Many graduates go on to pursue professional certifications such as ACCA or ICAG, which open even more doors. The degree also provides a foundation for starting your own bookkeeping or accounting business.
