Diploma in Business Administration

The Diploma in Business Administration at Kumasi Technical University is a practical programme in business and management, offered through the Faculty of Business. It is designed to help you understand how organisations work, and entry is less competitive than for many degree programmes. This page explains what the programme typically covers, how hard it is to get a place, and the kind of careers it can lead to.

What a business administration diploma covers

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the core areas of running a business: management, marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, and operations. You build practical skills in problem-solving, communication, numeracy, and decision-making, which are useful in any organisation. The teaching tends to be hands-on, with case studies and projects that reflect real business situations.

Getting a place on the programme

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than for many other programmes. That means you are more likely to be offered a place if your grades meet the published requirements. You should still check the specific WASSCE subjects and grades needed, and apply early to secure your place.

What you can do with it afterwards

With a diploma in business administration, you can go into entry-level roles in administration, marketing, human resources, or finance. The qualification is also a foundation for further study, such as a top-up degree in business or a related field. Many graduates go on to run their own businesses or take up supervisory positions in both private and public sector organisations.
