You also learn how to use common office software and handle customer service professionally. The management studies component introduces you to how organisations plan, organise, and control their work. This helps you understand the bigger picture behind your daily tasks and prepares you for roles with more responsibility.

Where this diploma can take you

Most graduates of secretaryship and management studies go into roles such as administrative officer, executive assistant, personal secretary, or office manager. These positions exist in government ministries, banks, schools, hospitals, NGOs, and every kind of company. Some graduates move into related areas like customer service, human resources, or events coordination. The blend of secretarial and management skills keeps your options open across many industries.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other business programmes at the same level. That means you may not need as high a WASSCE aggregate as you would for more competitive options, but you still need to meet KTU's entry requirements.
