| The world of business and government is diverse and complex and as a consequence, business administration, economics and political science students at BUE study in an environment that encourages diversity, innovation, and excellence in teaching and research. |
Why Study?
|
| Why study Business Administration? |
| - Business Administration enables you to develop skills of value to employers. Graduates of this discipline will be ready to make an immediate contribution to organisations in a variety of roles. |
| - It provides an excellent foundation for a career in business or management. The objective of the programme is to prepare you to think critically and imaginatively and to act decisively in the dynamic global economy. |
| Why study Economics? |
| - Economics provides students with an understanding of how the economy works, as well as how government policies influence the performance of the economy in a global context. |
| - Economic decisions have a huge influence on society and the character of our lives. Problems such as foreign aid, the national debt and a host of other contemporary issues can be illuminated by an understanding of economics. |
| - Economics provides students with a logical and consistent framework for understanding such concepts as inflation, the function of money, budget deficits, interest rates, exchange rates, economic indicators, equity markets, the impact of international trade, and the effect government policies have on the economy and on employment. |
| Why study Political Science? |
| In an increasingly interdependent, yet conflict-ridden world, establishing a solid understanding of domestic, regional and international politics is not an optional endeavour but rather a pressing necessity. Political Science has been defined as “the study of who gets what, when and how”. It focuses on the study of government behaviour, public policy, political economy, the development process, and the competing demands of groups, institutions and transnational movements. In short, political science is involved in the study of all aspects of human interaction. |
| Why study Business Administration or Economics at BUE? |
| - BUE’s student-centred approach to learning will help you develop not only cognitive skills: critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, but also IT and presentation skills. In addition, you will explore how business organisations work and use your knowledge to develop an understanding of the contribution you make. |
| - With this professional competence, you will be able to make and present a solid business case and apply your knowledge in a working environment. |
| - The University’s close relationship with both local and foreign businesses enables us to prepare you to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. |
| Business Administration and Economics future career opportunities |
| A degree in Business Administration or Economics can open the door to a career in finance and investment banking, public policy, sales & marketing, civil service (government departments, including foreign service), insurance and actuarial work, economic consulting work in both the private and public sectors, journalism, administration, management of natural resources, etc. You can also go on to do further studies in economics, political science, business, or a variety of other fields. |
| Why study Political Science at BUE? |
| - The programme is designed to inform your interest in politics, and to help you establish a solid methodological, conceptual, and empirical appreciation of political processes and the sources of conflict and cooperation in today’s highly interactive global system. |
| - The programme is highly flexible and interactive. It is not based on the presentation of a single all-knowing source of information. Rather, it allows for a multiplicity of views and provides you with the tools you need to shape your own perceptions. |
| - It takes great care in tailoring the foundations of Western political concepts to the realities of the region and allows students to appreciate equally the unique perceptions of both Western and Islamic/Middle Eastern civilisations. At the BUE, we teach Western political theories, the foreign policies of Britain and the US, alongside the foreign policy of Egypt, the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict, politics of the Gulf, and the politics of Islam and Muslim minorities. |
| Political Science future career opportunities |
| The BUE’s Political Science degree programme prepares students for challenging careers in a variety of academic and/or administrative areas or in the domain of foreign services. Students might choose to further their academic career by pursuing post-graduate degrees or they might wish to work at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo or to be affiliated with a variety of UN agencies in Egypt or abroad. Students graduating in political science receive hands-on experience at the BUE with a programme specifically designed for those interested in working in the field of foreign services. |
| BUE graduates will enjoy the following advantages: |
| - An Egyptian degree accredited by the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education. |
| - A British validated by Loughborough University (UK). |
| - Excellent career prospects in Egypt and abroad. |
| - The opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies locally or abroad. |
