Administration study FAQs
What do you learn in a business administration course?
Business administration courses are designed to hone the business leaders of tomorrow. Generally, they cover the entirety of the inner workings of business, so that you can make your way to the top— understanding the complexities and intricacies that lay beneath.
You can expect to cover such topics as:
- Operations
- Finance
- Marketing
- Human resources
- Design thinking
- Communication
- Management and leadership
As opposed to studying a course in, say, finance specifically, a business administration degree allows you to broaden and deepen your knowledge of the business world, so that you can become a decision-maker in the field.
