The BBA Global Business programme offers a globally oriented curriculum and opportunities for students to develop a global mindset, think strategically and contribute to companies doing business internationally. Our application-oriented courses prepare the next generation of managers to lead global teams. In the Global Business Consultancy Project, for instance, students will actually work in a multinational corporation and get involved in solving real business problems.
Students have opportunities to enhance their leadership and management skills while working with others from different cultures through study tours, executive forums, career development workshops, structured exchange programmes, internships, and case competitions.
