This programme is designed to prepare students with SPM, GCE ‘O’ Level or equivalent qualifications for further studies in the business disciplines. It is an alternative pre-degree route for those who do not wish to take the traditional STPM or GCE A-Levels route to higher education and professional studies.
It introduces the students to the world of business. With an initial grounding in the ‘building blocks’ in business and management skills and knowledge, students take the first steps into the principles and workings of the way business is conducted and operationalised. The academic knowledge and practical skills gained at this stage firmly springboard the students into the next level of learning in BA (Hons) Accounting & Finance; BA (Hons) Marketing; BA (Hons) Business Management; BA (Hons) Accounting, all conducted at KBU.
