BA (Hons) Business Administration (Online)

What will I study?

Online distance learning gives you the flexibility of when and where to study. However, interacting with other students and tutors is still important, so this flexibility is combined with online discussion, podcasts, and online synchronised, where possible. To keep you on track, assessments are also scheduled at specific times.

Study Rate

The B.A.B.A. (online) course is studied part-time over 5-6 years, and you will need 360 credits to complete the qualification. A typical part-time study rate is 60 credits per year, students will be studying Two (2) modules per study period (‘semester’). All modules on the Online course are worth 15 credit points. A 15-credit module indicates between 100 and 150 hours of work on the part of the student over a semester which includes reading, engaging with exercises and practical work, taking part in discussions online, and completing assessments. For this reason, it is essential that you prepare a study plan during the programme induction to set aside sufficient time for work, studies, and assessments.
