Welcome to College of Business and Economics (CoBE).

It is with great pleasure that I am reaching out to you with this message regarding the College of Business and Economics (CoBE). The College of Business and Economics is one of the colleges at the university that is currently experiencing massive progress in terms of program expansion, delivering market-driven research, and community engagement.

We believe that education can transform the community, so we are committed to offering educational opportunity and access to all who need it. In this regard, students within the college at all levels are exploiting the resourceful and vibrant team of academic staff that have a common focus: delivering quality educational services, fairness, professionalism, and academic progress. We presume that this is our noble contribution to society since those who graduate from CoBE will be able to join the industry, lead society, business, and so forth.

 

In line with global relevance and the desire to build the future graduate in the disciplines of business and economics, we work towards excellence as the global scenario is increasingly complex and requires the ability to operate in the broader context of business and economics. Therefore, we encourage our students to master the foundations of business and economics. This is mainly due to the fact that today’s business environment requires graduates to have the ability to address issues that cross-functional boundaries with a global perspective, an innovative and entrepreneurial mind-set, stick to ethical ground, respect diversity, emphasise sustainability, and technological advancement. 

 

Our ability to contribute to the solution of many of today’s societal problems is based not just on academic excellence, of which we have great abundance, but on a sustained culture of creativity and innovation. CoBE works towards improving society by developing principled leaders through knowledge and skills in marketing, accounting, finance, economic perspective, tourism, and hospitality for the actual world, particularly in the catchment area. 

 

Our programme will promote the students' innate skills and help them succeed, regardless of their background, area of specialisation, and initial expectations. Great intelligence, drive, and intellectual courage are qualities we foster in our students. So that we can prepare you for the future, support you, and send you back into the wider world bearing the rewards of your labour, we kindly ask you to join us.
