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