Business Administration (BBA) and Computer Science (BSc)

We've combined our internationally accredited Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree and our Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science to create a double-degree program that provides you with the technical know-how to go along with analytical skills and business expertise. Skills in database and internet computing are especially valued as marketing diversifies from print and broadcast media to new technologies, and the market is strong for the technically savvy business graduate.
