Our Business Administration course is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving economy. Our multi-disciplinary curriculum integrates new instructional strategies, technology-based learning tools, and collaborative learning techniques to prepare students for careers in management, decision-making, finance, marketing, and productivity. In collaboration with Rochester Institute of Technology (USA), we offer a unique module in Circular Economy Entrepreneurship, focused on sustainable business practices.
Through lecture-seminars, bespoke tutorials, independent and collaborative projects, our programme offers a high level of contact time and interactive learning with experienced lecturers and industry professionals who will nurture and encourage students’ development towards their own learning and professional development goals. Our hands-on learning approach and interactive curriculum respond to real-world challenges in business and commerce.
By engaging with a range of core topics such as principles of business, accounting, business communication, technology, marketing and research, students gain insights into the roles, duties and responsibilities of a business administrator. They will also learn skills to direct the day-to-day management of an organisation, improve products and services, implement new technologies to increase workplace productivity and analyze financial and sales reports.
Our course offers a holistic and socially-engaged experience that emphasizes hands-on learning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and people management skills.
