BSc in Procurement, Logistics and Supply Chain Management

This is a degree programme offered at GIMPA Business School within the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration. It focuses on the movement and management of goods, services, and information from suppliers to customers. This page explains what the field covers, how competitive entry is, and where graduates typically work.

What procurement and supply chain management actually involves

Programmes of this kind usually cover how organisations buy materials, negotiate with suppliers, manage inventory, and move goods efficiently. You learn about logistics planning, contract management, and how to reduce costs while keeping quality high. The skills built include analytical thinking, negotiation, and problem-solving, which are useful in almost any industry.

How hard it is to get a place at GIMPA

This is one of the less competitive programmes at GIMPA, meaning that students with typical WASSCE grades in the relevant business subjects often have a good chance of being admitted. It is not as fiercely contested as some other business degrees, so your application can stand out more easily. To know whether you qualify, check the specific entry requirements and see how your grades match.

Where a degree like this can take you

Graduates work in manufacturing, retail, government agencies, shipping, and consultancy firms. Typical roles include procurement officer, logistics coordinator, supply chain analyst, and warehouse manager. The skills are transferable across sectors, so you could also move into project management or general operations.
