BSc. Business Administration (Human Resource Mgt./Management)

This degree at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology focuses on managing people within organisations. It prepares you for roles that involve recruiting, training, and supporting employees, making it a strong choice if you enjoy working with people and solving workplace challenges.

What human resource management covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the basics of business administration, then specialise in how organisations recruit, manage, and develop their staff. You can expect to study topics like employee motivation, labour law, performance appraisal, compensation, and training methods. The goal is to equip you with practical skills for handling workforce issues, from hiring to retirement.

How competitive it is to get a place

KNUST lists this programme as highly competitive. That means more students apply for the limited places than can be admitted, so your WASSCE grades need to be strong in the relevant subjects. Because entry thresholds vary from year to year, check whether your grades meet the published requirements rather than relying on past aggregate figures.

Where an HR degree can take you

Graduates of human resource management typically start as HR officers, recruiters, or training coordinators in companies, banks, government agencies, and NGOs. With experience, many move into managerial roles such as HR manager or training and development lead. The skills you build also transfer to general management, consulting, and even entrepreneurship.
