Diploma in Business Education

The Diploma in Business Education is for those who want to teach business subjects or work in business-related training. At SD Dombo University, it is offered by the School of Education and Life-Long Learning, combining practical business knowledge with the skills of a professional educator.

What Business Education programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually bring together business subjects such as accounting, management, and entrepreneurship with education studies that cover how people learn and how to teach. You build practical skills in lesson planning, classroom communication, and creating instructional materials. This mixture prepares you to teach business-related courses at the senior high level or to design training programmes in organisations.

Where it can take you

Most graduates of this type of diploma go into teaching, often as business studies teachers in senior high schools or vocational institutions. Others find work as trainers or facilitators in companies, in educational administration, or in curriculum development. The diploma can also be a stepping stone to further study in education or business, leading to a degree and a wider range of career opportunities.

How hard it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme compared to many others, meaning its entry requirements are typically more straightforward and a wider range of applicants can qualify. Still, you need to meet the minimum requirements set by the university and check your WASSCE results against them. Because places are not as contested as some courses, you have a reasonable chance of admission if you satisfy the entry criteria.
