BSc Business Administration (Accounting)

This degree combines business administration with a specialist focus on accounting. It prepares you for professional roles in finance, audit, and corporate management. At Catholic University of Ghana, it is offered within the Faculty of Economics & Business Administration.

What this programme covers

Business Administration programmes with an accounting focus typically introduce you to financial and management accounting, auditing, taxation, corporate finance, and business law. You also develop management skills in areas such as marketing, human resources, and operations. The combination gives you both the technical accounting knowledge and the broader business awareness that employers look for.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme at Catholic University of Ghana is less competitive. That means you may have a realistic chance if you meet the standard university admission requirements for a business programme. For comparison, the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, while All Nations University also has a less competitive entry. Always check the specific entry requirements on the university's admissions page to see whether your WASSCE results qualify.

Where accounting graduates work

Graduates of accounting-focused business administration programmes typically move into chartered accountancy, auditing, corporate finance, banking, and management roles. Many go on to pursue professional qualifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or ICA Ghana. Others work in public sector finance, tax consultancy, or start their own businesses. The accounting pathway also provides a strong foundation for roles that require careful analysis of financial information and strategic decision-making.
