For approval on research (MBA students are required to submit a research paper in partial fulfilment of the degree) the Business School is accountable to the Higher Degrees Committee of the Faculty of Commerce.
The Business School also interacts very closely with the bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台’s Centre for Higher Education, Research, Teaching and Learning (bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台).
