BSc Banking & Finance

The BSc Banking & Finance at Catholic University of Ghana, offered under the Faculty of Economics & Business Administration, prepares you for a career in the financial sector. Programmes of this kind combine core business principles with specialised knowledge of money, credit, and financial markets.

What banking and finance programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually build a strong foundation in economics, accounting, and management, then focus on how banks and financial institutions operate. You develop skills in financial analysis, risk assessment, investment decision-making, and the regulatory environment that shapes the sector. The goal is to understand how money flows through economies and how institutions manage it.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive compared to fields like medicine or law. That means you have a good chance of getting in if you meet the basic admission requirements. As with any university programme, you should still aim for solid WASSCE grades, but the competition for places is not as intense as in more oversubscribed courses.

Where banking and finance graduates work

Most graduates start in banks, insurance companies, investment firms, or the finance departments of large organisations. Typical roles include credit analyst, relationship manager, financial adviser, or risk officer. Some move into corporate finance, treasury, or even pursue professional qualifications like ACCA or CFA to deepen their career options.
