Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management with Project Management (N350)

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) – Business Management with Project Management (N350) provides students with a strong foundation in the principles and practices of effective business management. During the first two years, students build essential management knowledge and skills, preparing them to apply their learning through an industry placement or to gain an international perspective by studying abroad within the University’s extensive global partner network.

The programme focuses on developing key employability skills, including professional presentation, teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving. As students progress, they explore project management in greater depth, learning the tools, techniques, and methodologies required to plan, execute, and evaluate projects effectively, while engaging with contemporary issues shaping today’s business environment.

The degree reflects the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), an initiative established under the UN Global Compact that encourages higher education institutions to transform management education and develop responsible leaders who contribute to sustainable development. As a PRME signatory, the Business School seeks to influence professional practice and policy on both national and international levels, helping to generate positive societal, economic, and environmental impacts.

The School’s mission—to empower communities to apply business knowledge for positive societal impact—underpins its commitment to integrating sustainability into the curriculum. Practical actions promoting sustainability are embedded throughout the course in line with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes address one or more of these goals, while research activities are directed toward solving real-world problems, aligned with the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings.
