Description

Management and business are in the top ten subjects for degree course choices as they combine excellent academic training with good career prospects. The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree gives you the academic foundation you need for a career in business or management.

The programme equips you with the fundamental skills and knowledge essential for managing the key areas of organisations: accounting, human resource management, quantitative methods, marketing, strategy, and operations management. In addition, it gives you the choice of following specialist options, such as entrepreneurship, or spending a year working in industry.
