Bachelor of Science :: Bachelor of Business

The double degree in science and business provides opportunity for the combination of two awards in one program of studies. The course is designed to increase the employability of graduates by offering them the flexibility to become multi-skilled and gain broadened perspectives in their studies. Students who are unsure about their careers are provided with wider options. The course prepares a student to pursue a career which interfaces with either science, business or a combination of the two. The double degree is structured to enable a student to obtain a double award in a shorter time than if the programs were studied separately. The degree is delivered within the context of Christian values and is designed to enhance the student’s critical thinking and problem-solving abilities and their knowledge of science and business in the contemporary world.
