About this programme
You should enroll in a Management Studies degree if you wish to gain a deep understanding of how organizations function as one unified force of business. You will acquire a broad set of skills making you a highly desired employee with multiple career options. These include leadership, financial awareness, teamwork and computing, which are all extremely valuable on any job. Our BSc. Management Studies degree has been designed to ensure that graduates of the programme are fully equipped to thrive, be it in the corporates world or further academic endeavours. Alumni are essentially experts in their specific study option. Generally, undergraduate-level management studies degrees last four years in the College, In the first four semesters of their degree, students will be introduced to key topics within business management and accounting. They can then choose to specialize in particular management option that interests them starting in the fifth semester. Professionals can start with the specialization since they enter with experience in their field from industry as well as a pre-requisite certificate in the choice of specialization (in most cases a professional qualification in accounting or related subject area). Options available are Accounting & Finance, Marketing and Human Resource Management. In this programme practical application of knowledge is equally as important as theoretical awareness. Further, since computers play the most significant role in the present administrative affairs, coursework requires students to use computing resources. In an information age, it is imperative that alumni are not handicapped on the job due to a lack of basic computing skills. Considering that Ghana is an English-speaking nation bordered exclusively by French speakers, we train our students in both languages to facilitate effective intra- and international communication. As such, courses in either/both languages are mandatory during the first year of study, for those lacking proficiency.
