Graduation Requirements

The Business Administration Undergraduate degree program comprises 122 credits of full-time study which must be completed. In order to graduate, students are required to have a minimum cumulative average of 2.00 out of a possible total of 4.00.

ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)

FIU’s credit allocation system has also been carefully aligned with the European Credit Transfer System on the basis of 1 ECTS credit requiring 25 hours of student work both inside and outside formal classes.

A four-year FIU degree is, therefore, equivalent to 240 ECTS credits, or approximately 30 ECTS credits per semester.

Over the course of a full calendar year, in order to meet program requirements, it is expected that a student would therefore need to study 1500 hours, including classes, home study, and holiday study.

Individual courses are not currently assigned ECTS credit values, but departments will advise on equivalences and priorities.

Diploma

Students graduating from the program are awarded a BBA in Business Administration.

The aim of the Business Administration Bachelor’s Degree Program is to prepare graduates in business and management sciences with the help of courses such as economics, mathematics, computer skills, statistics, marketing, finance, accounting, manufacturing, human resources management, and process management. It is also to educate students as "managerial or managerial candidates" who are able to analyze the problems they encounter with the help of contemporary management approaches, to bring rational and scientific solutions to these problems, and who are open to contemporary ideas and developments.

The course contents of the Business Administration Undergraduate Program are designed to enable our students to obtain theoretically and applied business knowledge, to solve business problems, and to think analytically.
