Diploma in Business Studies (DBS) (Statistics Option)

The Diploma in Business Studies (Statistics Option) at Koforidua Technical University combines core business knowledge with applied statistics. It equips you to collect, analyse, and interpret data for business decision-making. This programme is for SHS leavers who enjoy numbers and want to use them in a business context.

What the statistics option actually covers

Programmes of this kind generally cover the fundamentals of business — management, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship — alongside a strong grounding in statistical methods. You learn how to design surveys, collect data, present findings, and use statistical software to support business decisions. The skills you build include data analysis, problem-solving, and clear reporting, which are valuable in almost any industry.

What you can do with it afterwards

Most graduates of business statistics programmes go into roles where data and numbers are central. Common career paths include business analysis, market research, data analysis, operations planning, and statistical support within banks, insurance companies, telecommunications firms, and government agencies. If you choose to continue your studies, the qualification can also be a stepping stone to a degree in business, statistics, or related fields.
