Introduction
This program provides students with a general course in business administration and is well suited to those seeking to attain professional expertise in the general management area. The program focuses on preparing managers for their challenging roles in a global environment, specifically preparing people for management roles in public or private sector organisations. As well as exposing students to various core disciplines in business, it offers them special opportunities such as: industry/organistion based project work, the opportunity to apply these concepts to their own work environment, international study tours (students are able to gain an exposure and understanding of work in a different context) and the choice of specialising in an area such as one of the following - management, small business and entrepreneurship, human resource and international management. Those wishing to further their academic career may proceed to a specialist postgraduate program, for example, marketing, educational administration, human resource management, international and/or public sector management.
