HND Secretaryship and Management Studies

The HND in Secretaryship and Management Studies at Accra Technical University is a diploma programme offered through the Faculty of Business. It focuses on the administrative and organisational skills needed to support modern workplaces. Because entry is less competitive than many other business programmes, it is a practical option for SHS leavers.

What secretaryship studies cover

Secretaryship and management studies programmes teach the practical side of running an office. You typically learn about handling correspondence, scheduling appointments, organising meetings, and keeping accurate records. Communication and time-management skills are also central, because much of the job is about helping teams stay coordinated.

How hard it is to get in

This HND programme is classified as less competitive by Accra Technical University. That means it is not as difficult to gain admission to as many other business programmes. To be sure you qualify, check the university's current entry criteria with your WASSCE results.

Occupations you can pursue

Graduates typically go into secretarial, administrative, and office management roles. You could work as an executive assistant, office administrator, records officer, or personal secretary in both public and private organisations. The diploma can also serve as a stepping stone to further study in business or management.
