Diploma in Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This diploma is for those who want to learn how to turn ideas into viable businesses. It builds practical skills in opportunity discovery, business planning, and entrepreneurial thinking, preparing you for self-employment or innovation roles in existing companies.

What studying business innovation and entrepreneurship involves

Programmes of this kind usually cover how to identify market gaps, create a business plan, and manage the financial, marketing, and operational sides of a new venture. You also develop soft skills like creativity, problem-solving, leadership, and resilience, which are essential for any entrepreneur. Expect to work on practical business ideas and learn from real-world examples.

How competitive entry is

This diploma is less competitive than many other programmes at the university, meaning that if you meet the published entry requirements, you stand a good chance of being offered a place. It is still important to check the specific WASSCE grades needed for this programme before applying.

What you can do with the diploma

Most graduates go on to start and run their own businesses, often in sectors like retail, services, or agribusiness. Others take up roles such as business development officer, innovation coordinator, or small enterprise consultant in companies, banks, or development organisations. You can also continue your education in higher-level business programmes.
