Introduction
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree is designed to provide students with a broad knowledge in a variety of core business subjects. NUCB provides an innovative, international program jointly held with the Management & International Studies Faculties that will help you develop the necessary business acumen to help launch your career.
Studying Business Administration at NUCB will allow you to develop your skills in accounting, management, ethics, management, marketing, and strategy, all of which are key competencies you'll need to succeed in today's dynamic global business environment.
With a degree in general business, students are not limited to a singular area of expertise. Graduates can expect careers in the banking and financial sectors, consultancy, human resources and marketing roles. It can also give you the skills to create your own business, or to take on business and management roles within more creative industries. Employment opportunities are limited only by your knowledge, experience, and ambition.
In today's globalized world, where competition among businesses is at an all-time high, there are very few careers in which a comprehensive knowledge of business isn't admired.
The best graduates can expect to be placed in various challenging roles to make use of their skills at being equally talented at managing numbers as they are at managing people - they're leaders, strategic thinkers, creative problem solvers, and innovators.
Furthermore, this degree also prepares candidates to apply for a master’s program further in their career after gaining much-needed work experience.
