The Bachelor of Arts in Business Studies gives students the skills and foundation necessary to become successful business managers able to face the challenges of an ever-changing international business environment.

The curriculum gives students a combination of theoretical and practical skills, including an understanding of business and specific fields of business including management and organisation, entrepreneurship and innovation, human resources, accounting, finance, operations and marketing. They will comprehend how organisations are structured and managed, as well as how they function within the larger economic, social, legal and political context. In their last semester, students bring together what they have learnt, either in the analysis of case studies of business behaviour or in the development of a business plan for a small enterprise.
