Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is rooted in the belief that practical experience is essential for developing the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the business world. Project-based learning is integrated throughout the curriculum to provide students with opportunities to apply theoretical concepts to real-world business challenges.
The structure of project-based learning in the Business Administration program includes both mini-projects and a final-year capstone project. Mini-projects are undertaken in the second and third years, allowing students to work on specific business problems and develop their analytical and problem-solving skills. These projects are typically completed in groups and involve research, analysis, and presentation of findings.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive project that integrates the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program. Students work on a significant business challenge, often in collaboration with industry partners, and are required to develop a complete solution or recommendation. The project is supervised by faculty mentors and is evaluated based on the quality of the solution, the application of business principles, and the presentation of findings.
Students select their projects based on their interests and career aspirations, with guidance from faculty mentors. The selection process ensures that projects are relevant to current business trends and provide students with opportunities to explore specialized areas of interest. Faculty mentors play a crucial role in guiding students through the project process, providing feedback, and ensuring that projects meet academic standards.
Evaluation criteria for projects include the quality of research, the relevance of the solution, the application of business principles, and the presentation of findings. Students are also assessed on their ability to work in teams, manage time effectively, and communicate their ideas clearly. The project-based learning approach ensures that students develop both technical skills and soft skills that are essential for success in the business world.
