Bachelor of Administration | UMP

Areas of Application

• Government: BAdmin graduates are well-prepared for careers across various government departments at national, provincial, and municipal levels. Think of roles in policy development, program implementation, and administrative management.
• Public Sector Institutions: This includes entities like parastatals, regulatory bodies, and organizations with a public service focus.
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): NGOs involved in development projects, advocacy, and community services often seek graduates with a grasp of administration and management.
• Private Sector: While less common than the above sectors, the BAdmin also opens doors within the private sector, especially in companies with a social responsibility focus or those needing coordination with government programs.

South Africa Specific Considerations:

• Need for Skilled Administrators: South Africa emphasizes good governance and efficient public service delivery, creating a demand for qualified administrators.
• Transformation and Development Emphasis: Your degree aligns with contributing to addressing historical inequalities and social development needs.
