Bachelor of Business (BBus)

at IBAT College Dublin

The programme takes three years to complete full time.  Each academic year comprises 24 teaching weeks, 2 study weeks and 4 assessment weeks and is divided into two semesters.   In the early stages, years 1 & 2 students take some modules (10 ECTs) over both semesters. Approximately 50% of the modules are examined by course work and 50% by a blend of course work and examination.    

In the final year the capstone module Innovation & Entrepreneurship gives students an opportunity to reflect on the skills and knowledge they have accumulated, though re-visiting core areas of business in order to tackle the concepts of the innovative enterprise, business creation and new product development. The assessment which requires the student to defend involves creating a Business Model Canvas template for a new venture and analysing entrepreneurs in terms of their enterprising behaviour and mind-set , innovative and creative characteristics, what makes them different and their contribution to society.
