Diploma in Business Studies (Statistics Option)

The Diploma in Business Studies (Statistics Option) at Sunyani Technical University sits within the Faculty of Business & Management Studies. It combines business fundamentals with statistical methods, preparing you for roles that turn numbers into decisions. If you are an SHS leaver interested in data, business, and problem-solving, this programme is worth considering.

What you will actually study

Programmes of this kind usually cover business basics – accounting, management, economics, and marketing – alongside statistics courses like probability, sampling, regression, and data presentation. You learn how to collect, analyse, and interpret numerical information, and how to present it clearly to support business decisions. The focus is practical: you work with real data sets and learn to use statistical tools, giving you skills that are valuable in almost any industry.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this diploma is less competitive than many other programmes at Sunyani Technical University. In practice, this means that if you meet the published WASSCE subject requirements, you have a good chance of being admitted. You do not need an unusually high aggregate – just solid passes in your core subjects and the required electives. As with all programmes, the final decision rests on your grades, so it is worth checking your results against the official entry requirements before applying.
