Heriot-Watt University Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (BBA)

An intensive two year programme leading to a British university degree.

This degree programme provides firm foundations for any career in business and is particularly attractive to those seeking a Bachelor's degree that can be completed in two years rather than the usual three. Taught by WLC under licence from Heriot-Watt University which awards the degree and provides the course material, this is an excellent opportunity to become a graduate of a top-ranking university and to qualify for entry to Masters' degree programmes.

Important Information: The first 3 semesters of the BBA and the BA in Business and Finance are identical. It is therefore possible to switch registration from one degree to the other at any time during the first 18 months of each two year programme, so students should not worry about choosing the wrong course at the admission stage.
