The Chartall Business College Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree focuses on the management and administration of people, processes, practices and systems (MAPPPS).

It has been widely benchmarked with similar BBAs offered in other countries.

The qualification offers a logical progression in learning by introducing students to the basic concepts, theories and fundamental knowledge in the first year, which enables them to master the more complex skills of analysing, interpreting and applying the principles and theories of management and administration in a business context in the second and third years.

Qualification Structure:
The academic year consists of three trimesters in which you enrol for two modules per trimester. If you wish to fast-track your studies, we also offer you the option of adding an additional module per trimester, if you meet the qualifying criteria.

Your workload per module includes an hour-long e-lecture per week, self-evaluation assessments, a work-integrated learning assignment and a final examination.

Support will be provided through our Student Coaching Hub who will be in contact with you every step of the way.

Qualification Duration:
Your qualification consists of a selection of 12, 24 and 48-credit modules. The duration of the module depends on the amount of credits that they bear:

• 12-credit modules = 1 trimester
• 24-credit modules = 2 consecutive trimesters
• 48-credit modules = 4 consecutive trimesters

Who is the BBA for?

This BBA is aimed at people employed (or aspiring to be employed) in the financial, property or employee wellness sectors, who wish to acquire a degree in one of these fields for advancement in their industry.  Alternatively, students could take generic electives and be employed in any business sector.

The design of the Chartall Business College BBA has a very strong workplace focus and employers will see the impact of this as the student progresses through the qualification. The compulsory research project in the final year must address a significant workplace challenge. The student will be required to undertake a rigorous research study on this challenge and propose a solution that can make a real contribution to business improvement.

What are the entry requirements?

Access to the BBA degree will be given to applicants who hold a valid South African school leaving certificate which includes a pass in English at 60%. Access will also be considered where persons can provide a valid equivalent qualification (as recognised by SAQA).  Equivalent qualifications include Further Education & Training Certificates issued by SETAs.  Exceptional applications from students who do not meet the above requirement will be admitted at the discretion of the Academic Council.

Applicants need either to be employed, or to produce evidence that they will be able to complete the workplace-based learning, workplace-based assessments and workplace based research project.

How is this degree assessed?

Assessment will be undertaken per subject and will include successful completion of subject assignments, e-tests and the final subject exam.

The degree of Bachelor of Business Administration will be conferred upon students who successfully complete all the required subjects, at a duly arranged graduation ceremony.

Karen Deller
(DLitt (HRM), MA (HRM), BA (Hon – Industrial Psychology) Karen is one part entrepreneur, two parts passionate-developer-of-working-adults, one part adventurer & scuba diver, one part mother & wife & daughter. Which is too many parts – but what does one leave out? She has been involved in adult education and training for over 30 years and the past 20 have been spent theorising about, writing about and actually doing recognition of prior learning (RPL). Her focus is on RPL in the workplace for formal credentialing, and this was the basis of the research that saw her awarded a DLitt by the University of Johannesburg in 2007. Karen trains on a number of full and partial qualifications, from subjects on the BBA degree to short courses in sales and human resources management. She always draws on her many years of experience and shares many personal stories and lessons. Karen subscribes to the sage advice of Dr Seuss when advising RPL candidates and her learners: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
