HND in Secretaryship and Management Studies

The HND in Secretaryship and Management Studies is a Diploma-level programme offered by the Faculty of Business at Kumasi Technical University. It belongs to the Business & Management Studies field and focuses on the administrative and organisational skills needed to support managers and offices. Entry is less competitive, making it accessible to many SHS leavers.

The field of Secretaryship and Management Studies

Programmes of this kind train you in the everyday skills that keep offices and organisations running smoothly. You study secretarial practice, business communication, record keeping, and the basics of management, so you learn to support managers, organise schedules, handle correspondence, and manage information. Written and spoken communication, attention to detail, and professionalism are central to the work.

How competitive entry is

Entry into this HND is less competitive than for many other programmes, which means that meeting the basic WASSCE requirements is likely to be enough for many applicants. Even so, places are not guaranteed, so you should confirm that your grades meet the current entry requirements at Kumasi Technical University.

What graduates do afterwards

Graduates of secretaryship and management studies typically work as secretaries, administrative assistants, office managers, or executive assistants in corporate offices, government institutions, and non-profit organisations. The combination of clerical and management skills also allows progression into higher-level administrative and supervisory roles, often after further study.
