B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Business Management

Our B.Sc. is positioned for students who are seeking careers in Management such as Managers in HRM, Marketing, Finance or General Management. This is achieved through the programme design which provides – Core Modules and – Electives to provide the specialism in the respective functional areas.

Two further competitive aspects of our B.Sc. are that Students are required to undertake a live group project in the 1st semester of the Final year. This project (RLPS) with a Blue Chip Company requires students to act as consultants to solve a real life problem given by the Client company, under the supervision of a Faculty Member.

The students are also required to undertake an individual Dissertation under supervision which again provides an opportunity for the student to integrate the knowledge acquired to address a research problem of their choice. Successful completion of this Dissertation and the RLPS together with taught modules, assures our graduates a unique competitive advantage in the employment market in Sri Lanka and also in the International Market.

The individual dissertation is a compulsory requirement in our B.Sc. unlike in most other programmes. The external examiners from UOW have always been very impressed with the high quality of these dissertations. They have mentioned that most are comparable with the UK post graduate work.
