Upon graduating, the student will have learned the essential skills needed to thrive in a business environment. The Diploma in Business Administration Programme (DBA) introduces you to the fundamentals needed to succeed in business management, including accounting, finance, marketing concepts, and interpersonal skills.
The programme will broaden the students’ cultural knowledge, improve communications skills, enhance writing and numeric skills and help develop an understanding of basic business concepts. Achievement of the objectives of this programme of study will prepare students for further BBA study on an Advanced Diploma (2nd Year) programme.

Each module contains 10 study units which are designed to contain a minimum of 3 ½ hours of content each and to be taken once a week resulting in 35 contact or “in the electronic classroom” hours.
