This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:
APU-DMU Dual Degree Scheme
Students will learn fundamental skills required by every business management professional, and the basic understanding of the context within which businesses operate – Management, Law, Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, People Management, and Accounting. We will also expose students to business & communication skills, computing & IT skills, quantitative skills, and independent learning. All Business Management programmes have a common first year so that they will get a solid grounding in business management theories and practices.
A broader range of skills will be learned, in which students will gain a better understanding of functional management and international business management, such as international culture & communications, operations management, employee development, etc. They will gain further understanding of core business processes through the industry-leading software supported by SAP. We will further nurture their independent learning to prepare them for the workplace and for further research.
Students will undertake an Internship / Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.
Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in tackling more practical and modern issues of business management and managing for enterprise performance and problem solving that are focused on the international context, with aims to groom them as international business leaders. A final year project requires them to explore a topic individually – they will demonstrate their academic and practical aspects of their ability in the chosen area of study.
