Our degree is career-oriented, as we believe in practice-oriented education. Our customers at large know that this factor alone distinguishes us from many of our competitors. To reinforce our commitment to practice-oriented education, the department has a computer laboratory where students are trained in the application of different Accounting software.
 
We believe in being relevant all the time in the programmes that we offer. Accordingly we are continuously discussing with our industrial advisors and other stakeholders in what we need to do in order to suitably prepare our students for the future working world.
 
The department's teaching staff consists of twelve lecturers who are experts in their areas.Finally and most importantly, we create an environment where our students find it easy to learn and our partners feel their contribution is valued.
