In line with the increasing demand for accounting and business programmes, the Faculty of Business and Accountancy (FBA) was subsequently established on the 1st of February 1997 to focus on developing these programmes. FBA strives to meet the challenge of preparing students to play a vital role in industry and nation building. FBA seeks to remain at the forefront of business and accounting education and continues to enjoy a reputation as an excellent knowledgebased institution. FBA is headed by a Dean and assisted by three Deputy Deans and five Heads of Department. The three Deputy Deans are the Deputy Dean (Undergraduate Studies), Deputy Dean (Postgraduate Studies) and Deputy Dean (Research & Development). The five departments are the Department of Accounting, Department of Business Policy and Strategy, Department of Finance and Banking, Department of Marketing and Department of Operations and Management Information Systems. Currently, FBA offers five successful programmes. The three programmes offered at the postgraduate level are Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Management (MM) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), while the two undergraduate programmes are Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc). Starting in the 015/016 Academic Session, FBA is offering a new undergraduate programme, Bachelor of Finance (BoF). This programme has been introduced to meet the industries demand for human capital with a strong knowledge base and technical competency in finance.
