BSc. Financial Services (Finance and Insurance)

The BSc in Financial Services at Ho Technical University focuses on the twin pillars of finance and insurance. It gives you the practical knowledge to help individuals and businesses manage money, invest wisely, and plan for risk. This is a broad business degree for anyone who enjoys working with numbers and understanding how money moves.

What the programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the principles of finance, insurance, risk management, investment analysis, and financial regulation. You will also learn the basics of business accounting and develop analytical skills for assessing financial data and making sound decisions. Expect to understand how insurance products protect people and businesses from unexpected losses.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other business degrees, so with solid WASSCE grades you have a reasonable chance of being admitted. That said, you still need to meet the university's specific entry requirements, so check the official admission criteria carefully. There is no single cut-off point for all applicants.

Where this degree can take you

Graduates of financial services programmes commonly go into banking, insurance companies, investment firms, and the finance departments of large organisations. You could work on the front line helping customers, or behind the scenes analysing risk and pricing policies. The degree also provides a useful foundation for professional qualifications in finance and insurance.
