Departments

The Department of Accounting offers courses leading to the following certifications:

Diploma in Accounting
This is a diploma programme with emphasis in accounting. Students however take courses in other aspects of business administration. The programme runs on a modular basis at the City Campus of the University of Ghana.

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Accounting option):
The duration is 3 or 4 years depending on the applicant’s background and preparation. Students are required to take courses in other business disciplines.

Master of Business Administration (Accounting Option):
This is a two-year rigorous course. In the first year students take courses in all areas of business administration. In the second year, in addition to courses in accounting and other areas, students also write a two-semester “long-essay” under supervision. Students with a good first degree in any area are admittable.

Master of Philosophy (Accounting option)
This is also a two-year rigorous course in business administration focusing on accounting. The emphasis is research and students spend the entire second year in the programme writing an M. Phil Thesis under supervision.

Executive Master of Business Administration (Accounting Option):
This is a two-year rigorous but flexible evening programme. The programme is aimed at working senior level officers. Classes typically run from 6 pm – 9 pm, most days of the week. Course content is similar to that of regular MBA but class interactions are deeper and more workplace experience is brought to bear.
Plans are underway to introduce the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
