Those applicants who do not possess an honours degree may be enrolled, in the first instance, as Associate students for the first trimester. Satisfactory performance on these modules may result in registration on the MSc Business Management programme.
Applicants with other relevant qualifications from recognised academic or professional institutions may be considered for entry where the learning outcomes from these qualifications can be satisfactorily matched against those of the MSc BM.
