AIMS OF THE DEGREES

These programs run over three years. The course offers opportunities for students to specialize or generalize as they wish. The degrees combine both theory and practice and encompass the many different disciplines which comprise management.

The key aims are:

• Developing knowledge and understanding the core aspects of computer and management theory and practice.
  
• Establishing a learning environment where students have a high degree of choice of advanced courses in the context of multidisciplinary study where intellectual rigour and analytical skills are rewarded.
• Encouraging individual self development and assessment as a necessary lifelong habit for an uncertain world of work and employment.

Why Choose IEM?

Education in IEM are structured to give a solid foundation in all the basic disciplines of computer and management followed by opportunity to choose from a wide range of units. The academic content is finally located within the latest research findings and is highly relevant to understanding both the theory and practice of management and Computer Science.

The acquisition of personal transferable skills is a very important part of the experience offered by the degrees. There are opportunities to acquire these skills through multi  learning activities which culminate in the final year term project where practical research takes place in a real organization.

The curriculums are up-to-date and relevant. The students develop a wide range of appropriate software, business and management opportunities to broaden their studies to include the consideration of issues which are likely to affect computer, business and management practice in the future.

WHY STUDY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION/ COMPUTER APPLICATION ?

Pursuing Computer Applications and Business Administration at undergraduate level is different from single honours degrees because students are required to think and analyse in a variety of different ways: inductively and deductively, applying the disciplines of economics, sociology, political studies, mathematics, higher algebra, statistics, operation research, matrix analysis, computer applications, law and possibly a language to a complex field of activity. Single discipline students are not exposed to this type of challenge.

A well designed, well taught computer and management course, tailored for able students, is demanding, stimulating and practical since it develops different ways of thinking, analyzing, deciding and communicating appropriate to the rapidly changing technology and business environment.  

Employers find the BBA and BCA degree attractive because it combines an academic education which stresses on critical thinking and the application of computer and management related ideas, the opportunity to gain work experience and the development of transferable skills in areas such as team working, leadership and communication.
