Diploma in Business Studies (Entrepreneurship Option)

This Diploma in Business Studies (Entrepreneurship Option) at Sunyani Technical University focuses on the practical side of starting and managing a business. If you are an SHS leaver who wants to learn how to turn ideas into a viable enterprise, this programme is worth considering.

What an entrepreneurship option covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the core areas of business – marketing, finance, accounting, and management – while giving extra attention to how new ventures are planned and launched. You may explore topics such as business opportunity identification, customer research, cost estimation, and writing a simple business plan. The emphasis is often on practical skills: you learn to think commercially, manage money carefully, and communicate persuasively with customers and investors.

How competitive is a place here?

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other programmes at Ghanaian public universities. That means if you meet the published entry requirements, you have a good chance of securing a place. The same option at Koforidua Technical University and SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies is also less competitive, so you can weigh these options with similar odds.

What can you do after this diploma?

Most graduates go into running or managing a business, either their own or a family enterprise. Others start in roles such as sales and marketing assistant, business development officer, or customer service supervisor. The skills you build also provide a foundation for further study in business, if you choose to continue.
