The BSc Accounting (Finance or Taxation) at Ho Technical University is a degree programme in the HTU Business School. It gives you the chance to specialise in either finance or taxation while building a solid foundation in accounting. This page explains what the programme involves, how competitive admission is, and the career options open to you after graduation.

What an accounting degree covers

Accounting programmes of this kind typically cover financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, and financial management. You build skills in analysing financial records, preparing accounts, and understanding tax rules, as well as numerical reasoning and attention to detail. With the finance option, you focus more on corporate finance, investment, and financial analysis; with the taxation option, you focus on tax planning, tax law, and compliance. Most graduates go on to work in accounting firms, corporate finance departments, tax advisory firms, banks, or the public service.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to accounting degrees at highly competitive universities such as KNUST or UCC. This means your WASSCE grades may not need to be as high as those required for those institutions. The programme is also offered at other less competitive universities, so you have a reasonable chance of admission if you meet the general entry requirements for a business degree.
