The course

This course is intended for students desiring a business degree with a strong emphasis on management studies. It provides preparation for managerial careers in business, helping students acquire the skills of `learning to learn,' as learning is a life-long process, and of being sought after as employees.

The course offers a basic grounding in the recognised business disciplines of finance, business law, marketing and economics as well as a range of specialised management skills including business planning and decision making, human resource management, business communication, finance and employee relations management.

This course is offered on a full-time or part-time basis. It is appropriate for school leavers who have demonstrated exceptional academic ability or business persons wishing to complement their experience and gain a formal educational qualification.

• have a broad understanding and appreciation of management issues and how business operates in a global competitive and dynamic environment;
• have developed effective interpersonal and communication skills with continuous independent thinking;
• have developed practical, analytical and process skills within a comprehensive framework of general business areas and specialist management disciplines;

• be able to apply work team and technological skills to management decision making;
