Program Summary
The four-year Bachelor of Business Management (BBM) program, is designed to serve the needs of talented and motivated students, who seek to develop a career in business or aim at obtaining postgraduate education in a specialist business field. The program encourages and enables students to identify and resolve the tension between the pursuit of economic success and the discharge of the social responsibility of global business leaders.
BBM combines intellectual stretch and challenge, subject knowledge and understanding, employability skills, transferable skills, and personal development. The curriculum provides students with a broad subject knowledge of management and business, with opportunities to specialize in defined fields. Students develop management skills such as effective oral and written communication, decision-making, leadership, teamwork, information technology and the application of research methods.
The program is open to students with diverse educational backgrounds including arts and humanities, science, and social sciences. However, being a program with challenging curricula and subject content, it is aimed primarily at students with excellent academic records and high potential for success. Accordingly, candidates for this program are carefully screened through a selective admission process.
Program goals:
BBM seeks to provide high-quality education in Business Management in an intellectually-challenging environment equipping students for their future careers and postgraduate studies, aiming at:
- Developing the understanding that management is a broadly-based social science and multi-disciplinary field of study.
- Providing students with a capacity for analysis, allowing them to critically evaluate the impact and effectiveness of current management practices.
- Fostering an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to ideas and issues in a range of organizations and sectors.
- Enabling students from diverse educational backgrounds to understand organizations, key aspects of their management, and the external environment in which they operate, both in Egypt and globally.
- Allowing students to customize the program to meet their needs through choosing to specialize in an area of concentration from third year onwards, or to remain broadly based.
- Enhancing students’ interpersonal, communicative and employability skills, and thus, contribute to their ongoing personal development.
- Delivering graduates well equipped for more advanced study or employment, both in Egypt and globally.
Upon meeting the requirements set out in the Academic Regulations, students graduate with a Bachelor in Business Management, at the same time they have the opportunity to declare major in defined areas of specialization.
