More information is available on our website.You may visit the campus at any time – please feel free to make an appointment for a tour.The BBA in Disaster Management was developed over more than a decade after it became clear that the field of disaster relief management and disaster risk reduction, especially the relief/response/recovery aspect thereof needed to be standardised and professionalised.Desktop research indicated that there are approximately 400 000 jobs in the disaster relief management sector internationally.
There was general consensus that training for people in the field of disaster relief management needed to be professionalised. Stenden decided that the best vehicle to do so would be a Bachelor of Business Administration in Disaster Management (a 4 year honours equivalent degree).The degree comes at a time when the number of disasters is increasing worldwide and with climate change, this is a trend that scientists believe will escalate. Disasters affect the poor and at-risk populations of the developing world, more so than the first world.
The B.Com Hospitality Management Degree offered by Stenden South Africa incorporates various management disciplines and covers subjects such as Services, Marketing, Operations Management, Human Resources Management, Hospitality Law, Financial Management and Accounting, Research, Revenue Management and General Management.Our students have the skills and expertise to fill managerial roles within diverse hospitality and related industries and are known to hit the ground running.
