VALUES

Business education is a fundamental life skill without which one cannot go very far regardless of one’s life or line of business (i.e. whether it is a surgery, a farm, a school a law firm and art gallery/museum a political party or a philanthropic establishment).This education that is so fundamental in life can be acquired through experience and/or through formal education. In the Faculty of Commerce, we strongly believe that in order to produce the best business ‘graduates’, one needs an educational system that seeks to strike a healthy balance between the two. Such is the thinking that drives our curriculum development efforts; it is the major premise on which our degree and non-degree programs are based.
