This Business Administration degree is a qualification aimed at students who are business-minded and interested in a career in management administration.
Business administrators and managers with the skills to plan, organise, direct, control, and review daily operations and primary functions of business are rare in South Africa. The Emeris qualification is designed to prepare graduates with the necessary skills to fill this gap.
The distance mode of study is ideal for working adults who prefer not to attend full-time lectures. Still, it is aimed at students who are keen to study a Business Administration degree with the opportunity to choose the following core disciplines: General or Human Resources. This choice is made after having received a solid foundation in the theoretical knowledge associated with key business administration disciplines in the first year.
