Diploma in Banking Technology & Accounting

This diploma combines banking technology with accounting principles, preparing you for roles in Ghana's financial sector. You'll develop practical skills in digital banking systems, financial record-keeping, and customer-facing operations. It's a less competitive entry option for SHS leavers interested in business and finance.

What this field of study covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the fundamentals of banking operations, including payment systems, electronic banking, and customer service in financial institutions. They also introduce core accounting skills such as bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, and using accounting software. You'll build a blend of technical know-how and financial literacy that is useful in many business settings.

How competitive entry is

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other programmes, which means it is more accessible for students with a range of WASSCE grades. It is a good option if you meet the general admission requirements but want a programme that doesn't demand top aggregates. You can check whether your own grades qualify by contacting the admissions office.

Where this diploma can take you

Most graduates of such diplomas go into banking and financial services, often starting in teller or customer service roles before moving into operations or accounting departments. Others work as accounting assistants in businesses, or in fintech companies that need people who understand both finance and digital tools. The diploma can also serve as a stepping stone to further study in accounting or banking.
