Most BBA/BBM programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means consumer behaviour, brand management, sales and digital marketing. Typical first jobs: brand, sales or digital marketing roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.
