The BSc Business Administration degree provides a platform to develop the essential knowledge and skills required to succeed in today’s business environment. In practice, this means that as well as providing the core business administration learning elements, the programme focuses on key skill sets including the ability to analyse and evaluate current issues facing organisations in a global setting.

Successful managers are adept at dealing with complexity within a changing context. To be ready for these challenges, you will require an intellectual understanding that will help you analyse and make a decisive contribution to solving these issues. The BSc Business Administration degree helps you gain these perspectives. You will be encouraged to think critically and creatively.
