HND in Computerized Accounting

The HND in Computerized Accounting at Tamale Technical University is a diploma programme that combines the fundamentals of accounting with the practical use of computer software. It suits SHS leavers who want a hands-on qualification in both finance and information technology. This page explains what the programme covers, the skills it builds, and where it can lead.

What computerized accounting actually is

A programme of this kind typically covers the core principles of accounting, such as double-entry bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, and managing ledgers, alongside the computer skills needed to do that work efficiently. You learn to use spreadsheet software, accounting packages, and basic database tools that are standard in modern finance offices. Most graduates go into jobs where they keep financial records, process invoices and payments, or support others who use accounting systems.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this HND is less competitive than many other programmes in the country, which means you are more likely to get a place if you meet the basic requirements. Still, you need to have the right WASSCE passes and meet the admission criteria set by the university. If your grades are around the minimum for tertiary entry, this programme is worth checking.
