NBS offers a Business Minor which seeks to expose non-Accountancy and non-Business students to important and diverse aspects of business, providing a broad overview of general business essentials.

Succeeding in the corporate world today requires the synergy of technical skills and a broad knowledge of operations, finance, information technology and marketing.

The programme aims to:

  • Complement your primary degree by providing subject-specific knowledge in areas such as markets, customer behavior, business law, operations, information technology and business strategies.
  • Develop your skills in evaluating, planning and organising resources.
  • Trains you to apply ideas which create value and generate profits

Upon completion of the Minor in Business, you can contribute to the success of any organisation as you have the knowledge, skills and ability to make decisions which helps the organisation to identify opportunities and potential threats. This will ultimately open up more career opportunities.
