Check if you qualify

Development management focuses on using management skills to drive social and economic progress. The degree covers project planning, budgeting, and policy evaluation, often in the context of developing countries. It is a practical course for students aiming at careers in NGOs, government, and international development.

What development management covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the planning, implementation, and evaluation of projects and policies that aim to improve people's lives. You learn how to manage budgets, people, and timelines, as well as understand the social and economic context of development. The field draws on business studies, economics, and public policy, giving you a broad toolkit for working in development.

Where the degree can take you

Most development management graduates go into roles where they coordinate projects or support policy work. Common employers include non-governmental organisations, government ministries, and international agencies like the UN. Typical positions include development officer, project coordinator, and monitoring and evaluation assistant. You might also work in corporate social responsibility or continue to postgraduate study in development or public policy.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other business and management degrees. That means you do not need the very highest WASSCE grades to be considered. As always, you should check the university's official admission requirements to see whether your results qualify.
