Introduction
Program Insight
BA offers a diverse range of knowledge and skills to cultivate managers who excel in leading teams within global contexts. Throughout their academic journey, students will be immersed in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment characterised by lectures with top academics and industry professionals, Alumni testimonials, and the enquiry-based educational approach which has students actively involved in laboratories, project works with companies, simulations and games that culminate in a “Grand Challenge”. Highly interdisciplinary, the Programme provides a strong foundation in management, economics, law, quantitative analysis and IT disciplines and is further complemented by data analysis and programming workshops as well as a Humanities course of the student’s choosing.
