BCom Banking and Finance

The BCom Banking and Finance programme at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies is a degree in the School of Business that prepares you for a career in finance. It covers the essentials of how banks and financial markets work, and builds skills you can use in many business roles. Entry is less competitive than many other business programmes, making it an accessible option for SHS leavers.

What banking and finance programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually cover financial accounting, bank operations, investment analysis, risk management, and financial regulations. You learn how banks create credit, how interest rates are set, and how businesses raise money. Alongside that, you develop quantitative skills, attention to detail, and the ability to make sound judgements under uncertainty.

How hard it is to get a place

This degree is less competitive than many other business-related programmes in Ghana. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be exceptional, but you must still meet the entry requirements the university sets for its Bachelor of Commerce programmes.

Where banking and finance graduates work

Most graduates start in commercial banks, often in customer-facing or operations roles. Others work in insurance companies, microfinance institutions, or the finance departments of corporations. With experience, you can move into areas like credit analysis, branch management, or investment advisory.
