Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

Choosing the Business Administration programme means opting for an economic study of the day-to-day functioning of a business. Although there is a lot of common ground between our programme and the Business Economics programme, our focus is more on the environmental factors and the organisational aspects of business life. The study programme is practice-oriented and project-based.

This program is accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB is a global nonprofit association whose accreditation processes are ISO 9001:2015 certified.
