Bachelor Business Administration (BBA)

Broaden your knowledge

The Bachelor Business Administration program supports the transition to positions at a higher management level where new aspects are becoming increasingly important. For example, there are increasingly management responsibilities and the processes in the company must be looked at with a broader view. Skills such as leadership, communication and meeting techniques also become an essential part of functioning. The Bachelor Business Administration course gives substance to this development. The program is ideally suited for middle managers who want to progress to bachelor level or who want to broaden their knowledge in addition to a previously obtained bachelor diploma in another direction. You can also follow this program with a HAVO or MBO background.

Practice

To make your performance concrete in practice, the concept of “professional product” is central to our training. Professional products are goods or services that a professional provides to an internal or external customer, who meet predefined quality requirements with regard to the product and / or the process, and that directly or indirectly create added value. During the professional practice component of the training you work on these professional products and their functioning in practice. The results, in the form of practical and work reports, self-assessment and reflection documents and the specific professional products, are collected and stored in your digital portfolio. This professional practice formation covers half of the study load of the program.

Functional areas

The professional products are specified in the training profile. The Bachelor Business Administration program focuses primarily on the management function area, while in the context of the desired outflow direction during the professional practice formation work can be done on professional products from, for example, the logistics service areas, marketing management, information management, business economic services and financial administrative services.

The Bachelor Business Administration of Netherlands Business Academy has a broad set-up, whereby students are trained to function at middle and higher level within any organization.

Admission

To follow the part-time Bachelor Business Administration, you must meet the formal admission requirements. You must have at least one of the following Dutch diplomas: HAVO, VWO, or MBO level 4.

If you do not meet the prior education requirements, but have reached the age of twenty-one, you can obtain admission to the program based on the intake assessment. An intake assessment in the form of a so-called shortened EVC procedure is in principle always part of the admission procedure for our HBO Business Administration course; this also applies if you meet the regular admission requirements. If you meet the regular admission requirements, the intake assessment will determine if you are eligible for an exemption. Exemptions are awarded only on the basis of the intake assessment or a supplementory assessment during the programme. For more information please contact info@nlba.nl or use our contact form.

If you do not meet the formal admission requirements and based on the results of our intake assessment it appears that you are not suitable for our Bachelor Business Administration course, admission to the study program may be refused. In that case, training advice will be given that is tailored to your motivation and capacities.
