De La Salle University

What you'll study

The B.S. in Business Management provides a balanced curriculum covering core business disciplines, applied management practice and elective specialisations. Early years build foundations in accounting, micro- and macro-economics, quantitative methods and business communication. Core management modules typically include organisational behaviour, principles of management, operations management, human resource management, strategic management, business law and managerial finance.

Students also study marketing fundamentals, information systems for business, entrepreneurship and project management. The programme emphasises applied learning through cases, simulations, group projects and a practicum or industry internship. In later years, students choose electives or tracks to deepen knowledge in areas such as people management, operations and supply chain, small business and innovation, or consulting. A capstone course or integrative strategy module draws together analytical tools and managerial skills for real-world problem solving.

• Foundations: accounting, economics, statistics, business communication
• Core management: organisational behaviour, HR management, operations, strategy
• Supporting business subjects: marketing, finance, business law, information systems
• Skills development: leadership, negotiation, digital tools, ethics and corporate social responsibility
• Experiential components: internship/practicum, consultancy project or capstone

Entry requirements

Applicants must meet De La Salle University's undergraduate admission criteria and the College of Business and Economics requirements. Typical applicants hold a senior high school diploma or equivalent with a background in Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) or STEM subjects. Strong results in mathematics and English are important.

Admission normally involves submission of academic records and standardised test scores as required by the university, and may include an assessment or interview for programme fit. International applicants should provide certified transcripts and proof of English proficiency if their prior instruction was not in English. Meeting minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee admission; selection is competitive and based on overall academic profile and other assessment components.
