Overview
Management Studies focuses on the provision of educational opportunities to equip candidates for careers in the field of commerce and industry. A wide theoretical training and sound foundation in the principles of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Supply Chain Management and Public Administration are provided. The undergraduate degree courses offered are specially designed to develop in candidates an innovative and entrepreneurial outlook as well as an adaptability of mind that will enable them, after a brief period of practical experience, to become eligible for responsible managerial positions (in the private and/or public sectors) or, if desired, self-employment
Rationale
There is a great demand for commerce related skills and competencies in the African, in particular the Southern African region work environment, given the rapid pace of globalisation and regional integration. This qualification is designed to cater for students who have matriculated and would like to study in the evening due to work commitments and those who have completed the Certificate of Business Administration, wishing to pursue a formal qualification in Business Administration. The after-hours offering makes it possible for those in employ to acquire a qualification to enable them to be more effective in the workplace. The Bachelor of Business Administration degree programme articulates into the Postgraduate Diplomas, thereby providing an alternate access route to Master’s and PhD studies.
