This programme aims at producing specialists in different fields of business management and administration through a more flexible learning approach. The programme has been designed to assist in the development of business and management skills in Uganda and to improve on the quality of human resource for business and non-business in areas of management. Whereas the stiff competition in the business sector calls for development of a human capital base equipped with managerial competences to deal with the National, Regional, Africa and Worldwide trends of contemporary business, there is a remarkable increase in the demand of managerial skills in the wake of liberalized economies, elsewhere in developing countries.
