PREAMBLE

Business is any activity that one undertakes with an intention of making a profit, and ultimately accumulating wealth. This means that every academic discipline is business, and this ranges from medicine, Architectural designs, surveys, pharmacy, and small business shops and kiosks.

One needs to appreciate the basic concepts of business, the computation of profits, the management of finances, and mobilization of capital, and ultimately the effective marketing of the goods or services.

Therefore, this Diploma in Business Administration programme is aimed at developing competent business professionals with skills that can transform and profitably sustain businesses in Uganda.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

– The Programme will develop the competency required to mobilize organize, direct, and control resources, in order to generate sufficient return to capital and to the owners of business.

– The program aims at equipping learners with skills of the legal environment, so that they do business in right legal manner, and give the required tax to Government.

– The program will also address the issue of ethics, because most of the businesses today are run unethically, and people who practice unethical behavior have a feeling that they are being “smart” at the job.
