The BA (Hons) in Business Administration programme places emphasis on the functional, operational and strategic coordination of business activities. Throughout the course students develop an understanding of how organisational processes enable organisations to respond to external conditions in the market and the wider environment. Students gain a theoretical understanding of the nature of business and organisations, whilst developing practical skills, problem solving, risk assessment, group work and personal initiative.
This programme follows a rationale based on the principles of studying organisations as separate functions, interdependent operations and strategic entities. It provides students with the necessary theoretical knowledge and managerial skills to be locally and internationally competitive. It promotes and emphasizes employability through modules such as “Employability and PDP” and “Personal and Professional Development for Business”. It cultivates innovative thinking through modules such as “Managerial Decision Making” and addresses contemporary issues in strategic planning, environmental scanning and operations management.
