Bachelor of Science in Business

The programme teaches students comprehensive and specialised subjects in business; it develops skills in critical thinking and strategic planning for changing and fast-paced environments, including financial and operational analysis; and it develops competences in leadership, including autonomous decision-making, and communication with employees, stakeholders, and other members of a business. These generalised BSc insights are firmly rooted in a curriculum focused on innovation, social entrepreneurship, finance, and technology.

• Target Group

  • The course is suited for undergraduate students considering a career in business or the innovation (start-up) economy. The overall programme is designed for those with little or no background in business and at least an EQF 4 level mathematical knowledge is required. The target group should be prepared to pursue substantial academic studies fitting to the EQF 5-6 level.

• Structure of Programme

  • Please note that this structure may be subject to change based on faculty expertise and evolving academic best practices. This flexibility ensures we can provide the most up-to-date and effective learning experience for our students.

  • The BSc in Business programme combines asynchronous components (lecture videos, readings, and assignments) and synchronous meetings attended by students and a teacher during a video call. Asynchronous components support the schedule of students from diverse work-life situations, and synchronous meetings provide accountability and motivation for students. Students have direct access to their teacher and their peers at all times through the use of direct message and group chat; teachers are also able to initiate voice and video calls with students outside the regularly scheduled synchronous sessions.

  • The BSc in Business is composed of 3 tiers:

    • TIER ONE (60 ECTS)

    • TIER TWO (60 ECTS)

    • TIER THREE (60 ECTS)

  • Each module consists of both regular units where new material is taught and learned and cumulative units devoted to summative examination where learning and retention are assessed. Students typically complete 1-4 assignments per regular unit, which is the topic of the synchronous discussion. Summative (or final) examination units allow students to deepen their cumulative, synthetic grasp of the course contents through exams, essays, reports, presentations, and other similar forms of assessment.

• Grading System

  • Scale: 0-100 points

  • Components: 60% of the mark derives from the average of the assignments, and 40% of the mark derives from the cumulative examination

  • Passing requirement: minimum of 60% overall

• Dates of Next Intake

  • Rolling admission

• Pass rates

  • Cohort pass rates will be publicised in the next cycle, contingent upon ensuring sufficient student data for anonymization.
