BSc Marketing

Marketing is the business of understanding what people need and want, then getting products and services into their hands profitably. A BSc in Marketing gives you the practical and analytical skills to do that across industries. This page explains what the programme at KAAF University College involves, how hard it is to get in, and where graduates typically end up.

What marketing students actually study

Programmes of this kind usually cover consumer behaviour, market research, branding, advertising, digital marketing, sales management and business communications. You build practical skills in reading data, understanding customers, writing persuasive messages and negotiating deals. Most courses also include projects where you plan a marketing campaign or analyse a real market, which is useful experience for the workplace.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into BSc Marketing at KAAF University College is less competitive than the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (highly competitive) or University of Cape Coast (competitive). That means you are more likely to get a place with WASSCE grades that meet the minimum requirements, but you still need to check your grades against the specific subjects KAAF asks for. Admission is not automatic.

What you can do after graduation

Most marketing graduates go into jobs where they plan promotions, research markets, build brands, manage social media, or support sales teams. The degree also opens routes into public relations, advertising and business development. Because every organisation needs customers, marketing skills are useful across banking, telecommunications, retail, manufacturing and the non-profit sector.
