BSc. Resource Enterprise and Entrepreneurship

This programme focuses on entrepreneurial opportunities in Ghana's natural resource sectors. It combines business management with knowledge of how to use resources sustainably. The University of Energy and Natural Resources offers it through its School of Arts and Social Sciences.

What studying resource enterprise involves

Programmes of this kind focus on building entrepreneurial skills for businesses that use natural resources. You will typically study business planning, finance, marketing, and management, and learn how to apply these to resource-based ventures such as agribusiness, renewable energy, ecotourism, and waste management. The aim is to prepare you to start your own enterprise or take leadership roles in existing resource companies.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive, so it offers a realistic route into higher education for many SHS graduates. To be considered, you need passes in Core English, Core Mathematics, and Integrated Science or Social Studies, as well as an elective from the General Arts or Business options. If you have completed WASSCE and meet these subject requirements, check with the university to see if your grades meet the admission standard.

Where the degree can take you

Graduates with this background often go on to run their own businesses in areas like farming, food processing, energy services, or environmental consulting. Others find positions as business development officers, project managers, or entrepreneurs in both private and public organisations. The blend of business skill and resource awareness is useful in any industry that depends on natural assets.
