PROGRAMME GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The Bachelor of Administrative Studies (BAS) degree is designed to teach individuals, who want to pursue a career in health administration, the theory and practice of management in a challenging, interdisciplinary programme. While many of the courses in the programme will focus on management, these will be supplemented by courses in related disciplines.

The Bachelor of Administrative Studies degree programme is an academically rigorous programme that will be of interest and benefit to qualified individuals who expect to be a manager or an administrator.
