Overview
Every industry needs people with strong business skills to manage and improve the day-to-day operations of organisations. To keep up with growing industry needs, companies are looking for graduates with strong business administration skills. Business Administration is the coordination of business functions and activities. In the Bachelor of Business Administration, you will build a sound conceptual and theoretical foundation from which you can build essential skills for a career in business. You will learn about core business functions and how they are coordinated to achieve business goals whilst having the opportunity to specialise in more than one business discipline. The BBA provides a unique environment with a close connection to teaching staff and other students and opportunities to develop ethical and socially responsible communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills to succeed in a competitive and diverse world. Many subjects provide practical experience, real-world case-based projects, collaborative learning, interaction with experts from industry, and job-ready skills. This degree will equip you for careers in public-sector and private enterprises.
