The BBE programme aims to produce business leaders and entrepreneurs who are visionary, realistic, and driven to develop innovative business ventures. Moreover, the programme seeks to address the critical number of youth unemployment by imparting in them some practical business and entrepreneurial skills that are essential stimulants for self-employment and job creation. The programme further aims to result in a more robust economy as more businesses can be opened up when entrepreneurial students graduate, thus creating start-up businesses.
The specific objectives of the programme are to enable future entrepreneurs to:
• pursue their business ideas;
• promote innovation and creativity;
• create employment;
• earn stable incomes;
• build the spirit of self-reliance;
• seek for business and entrepreneurial opportunities;
• develop global business and entrepreneurial consultative skills that make partnerships essential; and
• start a successful business
There are four principal audiences for the BBE programme:
• school leavers who are seeking academic qualifications for employment and self-employment;
• mid-career professionals who wish to change and enhance their current career status and become entrepreneurs;
• NAMCOL future entrepreneurs from the Certificate and Diploma in Business and Entrepreneurship; and
• Self-taught entrepreneurs who seek a formal qualification.
Admission criteria ensure that future entrepreneurs who get admission to
the programme possess the ability to cope with the programme’s demands.
Therefore, to be admitted into the Bachelor of Business and Entrepreneurship
programme, future entrepreneurs should have:
• NSSCO or NSSCAS Certificates with a minimum of 25 points in five subjects and at least an D-Symbol in English OR
• NAMCOL level 5 Certificate/Diploma Level 6 in Business and Entrepreneurship. OR
• Any other relevant and equivalent qualification at NQF level 6, and/or pre-qualifications from a recognised institution of higher learning.
The assessment of a student’s performance will be based on four components:
• Continuous assessment;
• Written examination;
• Tangible business idea (Prototype); and
• Portfolio assessment for work-integrated learning (WIL).
A student must obtain at least a 50% mark for a specific module to pass the main
examination. The final mark consists of 50% of the main examination and 50% of
the continuous assessment. The credit level of each module will determine the time
for an examination.
