DESCRIPTION
Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) undergraduate degree program is designed to prepare graduates with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values to effectively apply various business principles and tools in an organizational setting. The BBA foundation is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practical application, while examining the areas of accounting, critical thinking and decision-making, economics, finance, business law and ethics, management, marketing, organizational behavior, business statistical techniques, and general knowledge.
This program provides a global approach of management and business administration. It will open the door of entrepreneurship and global innovation, and meets the demands of students who want to develop the necessary skills in leadership and entrepreneurship.
 
PACE
On years 1 & 2, the program is following a classical academic year rhythm. We do not have classes on Fridays, allowing our students to work that day if they need/want to.
 
On year 3, the rhythm is organized in such a way that our students can work Part-Time, which paves the way for employment. Our Career & Development Department offers Career & Outplacement services for our students (like Jobs Dating events on a monthly basis on Campus).
 
If you follow the three years, you'll earn 180 ECTS Credits.

At the end of Year 3, the student will have to defend a Thesis which will carry on one of the subjects studied during the programme.
