Bachelor of Business Administration - Business Administration (N100)

BBA Business Administration is a broad business and management degree, where students gain comprehensive knowledge of the main functional areas of an organisation. Students study a wide range of subjects and develop their practical managerial skills to prepare them for a successful career in any aspect of business.

Group work tasks develop team working skills and the business simulation project puts students in charge of their own virtual venture. In competition with other students, students develop their skills in problem solving, analysis and creativity as they make decisions to optimise their business’ performance.

In the final year, students will put their knowledge into practice by producing a business plan, industry report or dissertation in an area of their choice. As well as developing the research and analytical skills needed for the workplace, students can benefit from the opportunity to make valuable business connections by gathering case studies and interviews.

This course also gives students the option to follow a specialised pathway in Applied Quantitative Methods (AQM).
