Faculty of Business
The Faculty of Business was established in 1997 following the reorganisation of the School of Accounting and Management Studies (SAMS) under the Faculty of Social Sciences. The need to establish an independent faculty was primarily driven by increasing numbers of students who showed an interest in business programmes. Under the umbrella of this new faculty, three departments were created to offer specialism in management, marketing, and accounting and finance. The most popular of these is the Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) program, which trains students for a professional level accounting certification exams, most notably the ACCA. Many graduates have integrated this degree into tracks such as becoming American CPA's or members of the UK's CIMA. The faculty offers five degrees:
- Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc)
- Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Management
- Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Marketing
- Bachelor of Information Systems (BIS)
- Bachelor of Finance
- Master of Business Administration (MBA)

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
