A bachelors degree from an approved tertiary institution. Applicants need to have attained a minimum average grade of 65 per cent in the relevant disciplines in the final two years of undergraduate studies for consideration.
Credit for previous study is not available in this course.
The Bachelor of Business (Honours) course aims to provide a
post-degree level of study for students seeking to widen their knowledge in one
of the specialist areas offered by the departments and to expose students to
both substantive theory and practice of research in the field of business. The
course gives graduates the training necessary to conduct independent
high-quality research in either business or academic settings, cultivates
analytical and critical skills, and an awareness of emerging developments in
business. The course is particularly suited to those who may wish to undertake
further study at the higher degree level.
The mode of offering varies between departments, and students should consult
the department with which they are enrolled for honours. The management stream
must be studied full-time by `on-campus' attendance. The class time commitment
is 12 hours per week for two semesters. Students should be prepared to devote a
further 36 hours per week to private study.
