Diploma in Business Administration (DBA)
The UPU Diploma in Business Administration offers a solid foundation in key business disciplines like management, accounting, finance, marketing, and organisational behaviour. Through a blend of theoretical lessons and practical case studies, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills crucial for managerial roles.
Graduates can pursue career opportunities in entry-level business roles such as administrative assistant, operations coordinator, sales executive, or small business manager. They also have a strong basis to continue studies - either by progressing into UPU’s Bachelor of Business Administration or other related degree programmes.
