The course structure enables the student to develop all round skills and knowledge in the field of Professional Business Management. This structure adopts a multi disciplinary approach where students are expected to acquire an understanding of core business functions that applies to many business and public sector organisations.

Cases related to the set disciplines are distributed to candidates at least 4 weeks before the set dates of the examination.
