The purpose of both the general and the professional Bachelor’s Degree is to provide a well-rounded, broad education that equips graduates with the knowledge base, theory and methodology of disciplines and fields of study, and to enable them to demonstrate initiative and responsibility in an academic or professional context.

The general Bachelor’s Degree emphasises general principles and theory as preparation for entry into general employment or for a postgraduate programme.

Both the 360 and 480-credit Bachelor’s Degrees may require students to undertake research in a manner that is appropriate to the discipline or field of study in order to prepare them for postgraduate study.
