A Centre for Professional and Entrepreneurial Development and UK ATHE-accredited Level 3 and Level 4 diploma courses in computing, business management and related fields complement the degrees.

Facilities include a library, computer labs, an auditorium, fashion and textile labs, a radio station and news desk, and a student lounge and cafeteria.

Undergraduate degrees are awarded under affiliation with the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), and Master's programmes in computing and IT are offered in partnership with the University of Sunderland.
