PurpleTrain first to offer Bachelor of Business Administration (HR) online
PurpleTrain launches in September, a Bachelor of Business Administration (Human
Resource) - BBA (HR) from Southern Cross University of Australia. The programme
will be available only through PurpleTrain.com
Tailored for online delivery, this will also be the first dedicated Human
Resource-track online programme to be offered by PurpleTrain.
Developed under the Bachelor of Business Administration programme, the BBA (HR)
is unique as it was developed in consultation with industry partners, employers
and industry-based students.
Students enrolled in the course will be assured of a broad education base. They
will benefit not only from the exposure to the wide range of courses but also
from the different areas that will be offered. Students will be required to take
courses from each of the following elements such as technical and professional,
management and liberal.
The entire course will be conducted online. Students will take part in
assessments and discussion groups conducted by the university.
Mr Val Ortega, Academic Standards Division, Informatics Holdings : " I visited
SCU's Lismore campus in New South Wales recently and was impressed with the
facilities and teaching staff. SCU has put in substantial infrastructural
resources to support the delivery of the BBA (HRM) programme on-line. The BBA
(HRM) has a well-designed curriculum and is comprehensive, suitable for
students pursuing a HR career and for any management staff wanting a better
grasp of people management."
"I have received many requests for an online course from HR practitioners. I am
looking forward to launching this programme. This course comes at an appropriate
time given the need to deal with the new work environment that internet
technology has brought about. Even seasoned HR personnel have felt the need to
update themselves, " said Ms Lee Wan Ling, Sales Manager, PurpleTrain.com

for those with work experience and likely to possess some trade, professional or
industry credentials.
