Degree in Business Administration and Management

"The main objective of the Business Studies Degree is to enable students to manage, advise and assess product and service organisations. Those tasks may be carried out in the organisation as a whole or in one specific department: production, human resources, finance, marketing, investment, administration or accounting.

The graduate should know how to identify and anticipate opportunities, allocate resources, organise information, select and motivate personnel, take decisions, reach specific objectives, and assess results.

To define the aims of the Business Studies Degree, the features and evolution of economic and business activity in an increasingly globalised and ever-changing world, in which the demands for competitiveness and sustainability are the norm, have been taken into account. The general training objectives are:-

to know the nature of companies and how they relate to their local, national and international environments
to know the methods and techniques for managing and organising companies
to obtain skills in the use of mathematics and statistics"

"Given the fact that the Business Studies Degree covers a wide range of abilities, it is difficult to specify what profile of student it appeals, or is most suited, to. Undergraduate students seeking entry should be aware of the nature of the course aims and objectives, i.e., to train the student as well as possible to compete in the field of Business Management. Consequently, students wishing to study this course should have the following traits:-

Responsibility. Students must realise that they need to work at their degree on a daily basis if they want to reach their objectives, and the results they obtain will be directly proportional to the amount of effort they put in.
Receptiveness. Students must be open to all the new ideas which they will encounter as they study the course. This includes being willing and able to plan and organise activities as well as an ability to work with others and in teams.
Be dynamic and eager to learn. Students should be entrepreneurial, willing to discover new things on their own, and also creative and innovative."
