Courses
All major organizations place a high value on graduates who combine general business knowledge with solid
computer and information management training, plus strong communication and interpersonal skills. The BIM
study program is designed to prepare its students for this challenge. Specifically the curriculum has three main
focuses:
Business Administration: Business Administration courses
constitute almost 40% of the curriculum. To provide a foundation
in basic administrative and management skills, students are given
a wide range of business studies. In addition to specialized
courses like accounting, finance, statistics and law, students
also gain a clear perspective of the human, organizational and
social factors related to successful business operations, through
a range of supporting business studies which provide a foundation
in basic administrative and management skills.
Information Management: The courses on information
management area address
goals such as active information finding, quantitative reasoning, analytical
thinking and problem solving.Starting with extensive hands-on experience
and business-oriented applications, students then learn to evaluate,
select, implement and manage information systems. By the time they
graduate, Business Information Management graduates will have experienced
all phases of project
development through a web based project, which introduces creative elements, graphics
design, plus new challenges in Information Systems Analysis and
Information Architecture.
Business Communications: Business Information Management
aims to graduate
students who have strong teamwork and interpersonal communication
abilities, developed through courses that focus on writing, speaking,
presenting, debating and negotiating in English. The students also
strengthen their verbal and written communication skills through an
experience in various communication techniques such as; drama,
presentation techniques, team discussions and the use of audio visual
aids.
Internship: The curriculum includes both a 30 day summer
training program
and a full-semester corporate internship. These training programs are a
significant part of the BIM curriculum and important component of the
students' development. Students experience in first hand, the
challenges,
opportunities and frustrations of business life. They
learn how to interact with people from a variety of backgrounds and to
serve as contributing team members. They also gain the perspective and
self-confidence they will need when selecting a career upon graduation. In
fact, our students frequently receive offers for later full-time
employment during their internship periods.
