3 year BBS or 4 year BBA in Business & Management?

kthxbaii

The course I am going to be doing, awards you with a BBS after 3 years but you have the option opt for a 1 year work placement in year 3 and when you do you're awarded a BBA after 4 years instead of the BBS.

What I don't get is, what are the differences. Is BBS just as good as a BBA or would BBA be crucial for someone who wants to work in a senior management role one day?

I would love some advice on this.

I'd say the BBA would probably be better as you get a year's work experience with it, which would be really useful. That would be the only difference between the two I imagine, as the actual classes you do for the two degrees are probably the exact same.

I don't do either of those courses though, so that's just really my opinion!

As someone finishing that course at the moment, there is no difference in what you study, just I suppose the college feel obliged to offer a slightly different degree to those on work placement

You should do the work experience, it can only benefit you. I will definitely be doing it.

If you can do a course with work experience over one without it, definitely do.

I did a 7 month placement with my degree in NUIM. It was invaluable in terms of getting a job afterwards. I wouldn't worry about names at the beginning of degree names.
