Bachelor of Business
The business curriculum is developed to provide students with a broad understanding of business, economics and finance, while at the same time, enhancing their leadership, analytical and entrepreneurial skills.
The Bachelor of Business is based on a modular credit system, a combination of depth (specialisation of degree major) and breadth (general education modules beyond specialisation of degree major) where students have the flexibility of customising their degree programme depending on their preference and interest. It is a four-year honours degree programme, comprised of eight semesters, with students expected to acquire a minimum of 140 modular credits.
This degree is offered only on a full-time basis, with two intakes each year (January and August). Students may select from one of the following Major programmes:
- Major in Business Administration : broad knowledge acquisition in understanding functional aspects of an organisation, and learn to apply academic concepts of management to reality.
- Major in Accounting and Finance : a blend of knowledge in accountancy – recording, reporting and auditing of information in an organisation – and finance which relates to management of monetary resources and analysis of the profitability of organisations.
- Major in Economics : acquire understanding about economic problems and policy issues, and apply tools and techniques for economic analysis.
Students are required to fulfil the requirements of their chosen major field, as well as enrich their learning experience during the Discovery year.
