12 Profile The ideal prospective studet for the Bachelor of Sciece i Busiess Admiistratio programme: has a fasciatio for the world of busiess; is eager to pursue a iteratioal career; sees learig ad workig i a multicultural team as a persoal asset; wats to eter the labour market with both practical experiece ad a academic Bachelor s degree; wats to study i the vibrat iteratioal ad multicultural city of Brussels, the capital of Belgium ad beatig heart of Europe. BBA i a utshell 10 Today, compaies must fid their way i a icreasigly complex ecoomy. Globalisatio has exteded markets far beyod atioal borders ad techology keeps global commerce movig 24 hours a day. Some products ad services are become icreasigly complex, while others are becomig obsolete. Cosumers demad prompt ad customised service at the best price. Busiesses require complex etworks of distributio. These are just some examples of the issues you will address as a BBA studet. The BBA programme is taught i Eglish ad has a strog iteratioal focus. It is both hads-o ad academic. It follows a practice-as-orietatio ad sciece-as-foudatio approach. It also equips you with the academic skills you eed to complete assigmets ad research ad write your bachelor's (i the BBA) ad master's (i the MBA) thesis. You will develop both your aalytical skills ad your academic ad professioal commuicatio skills. You will lear to thik critically ad to preset your fidigs i a cocrete ad cocise maer. I have excellet memories from my BBA experiece. Not that the programme was easy, but because it challeged me to grow. The programme was desiged to beefit studets. It takes full advatage of the team approach ad still equips the idividual with the ability to make educated busiess decisios. Nkora Nkoraigwa (Tazaia)
