BSc. Financial Services (Banking and Finance)

The BSc Financial Services (Banking and Finance) at Ho Technical University is a degree in business and management studies, offered by the HTU Business School. It focuses on how financial institutions work and how money flows through the economy. This page tells you what programmes of this type usually cover, how competitive entry is, and what you can do with the degree afterwards.

What financial services programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually cover the financial system from the inside: how banks take deposits and make loans, how investment decisions are made, how insurance works, and how financial institutions are regulated. You will build skills in numeracy, financial analysis, and communication — all directly useful when dealing with customers in the financial world. Most graduates go into roles in banking or other financial institutions, either on the customer-facing side or in analysis and support.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other degree programmes. That means that if your WASSCE results meet the general university admission requirements, you have a good chance of getting a place. It is not a programme with a very high demand, so it is more accessible than some other options. To be sure, contact Ho Technical University to see whether your specific grades qualify.
