Course Overview

Our Business Management top-up course provides you with a broad foundation in business. It helps you develop skills across several business disciplines to complement your previous studies and prepare for a business career.

This top-up course is delivered entirely online (part-time), meaning you can study at a pace and place that suits you. It mainly aims at those with a broad business-related HND, associate degree, or equivalent.

You can pay for this course flexibly on a module-by-module basis. Therefore, you don't have to pay the full course cost upfront. This is a vocationally relevant course designed to equip you for a career in business and management. Building on your previous experience and skills, you'll develop your understanding of the theories and concepts of business and management and the ability to apply these in practical business situations.
