In year three you can specialize in marketing, human resource management or information systems management.

In year four you can specialize in economics and finance, human resource management, management, marketing or rural enterprise and agri-business. There is a strong emphasis on the current business environment and acquiring the skills and knowledge required for employment in business. Case studies and practical business projects are used to develop students' analysis, communication, and professional business skills.
