BSc. Administration

BSc Administration is a business and management degree offered at the University of Ghana's College of Humanities. It gives you a broad foundation in how organisations run, covering areas like management, finance, marketing, and human resources. If you are considering a career in business leadership or public administration, this page explains what to expect.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the core functions of business: management principles, accounting, marketing, human resource management, and organisational behaviour. You learn how to plan, organise, lead, and control resources in both private companies and public institutions. The degree builds skills in communication, problem-solving, and data analysis, which are transferable across industries.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into BSc Administration at the University of Ghana is highly competitive. The same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is also highly competitive, while at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development it is less competitive. Because places are limited and demand is high, you need strong WASSCE results to stand a chance. Check the university's official requirements to see if your grades qualify.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates of administration programmes go into management roles in both the public and private sectors. They work as management trainees, administrative officers, human resource officers, marketing executives, or business analysts. Others go on to start their own businesses or pursue further study in business administration, finance, or public administration.
