These are:

BA (Hons) Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship BA (Hons) Digital and Social Media Marketing BA (Hons) Finance and Business Enterprise

BA (Hons) Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Innovation and enterprise lie at the heart of today’s successful businesses. In a world that changed overnight as it was hit by the Covid19pandemic, volatility, complexity and uncertainty are the norm.Leaders therefore must know how to improvise through innovation.

The BA (Hons) Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship will develop students’ ability to think flexibly and creatively and they will graduate with the entrepreneurial mindset required to succeed and thrive in dynamic business environments.

BA (Hons) Digital and Social Media Marketing

Another repercussion of the Covid-19 pandemic was the expedited growth in digitalisation, as all businesses and industries including education transitioned to online platforms. With the growth of markets and technologies, the scope for digital marketing is only going to continue to expand and there is an immense potential for its growth in Sri Lanka. The BA(Hons) Digital and Social Media Marketing will equip students with the skills and experience that employers demand of modern marketing professionals and they will graduate with experience in digital marketing analytics and strategy, search engine optimisation, social media marketing and digital content creation.

BA (Hons) Finance and Business Enterprise

Finance and accounting are no longer just about taxation and the management of financial capital.

This degree will help students discover finance and accounting that underpin modern business enterprises. It will give students a deeper understanding of the crucial role of finance in organisational decision making and the pursuit of competitive advantage.
