PROGRAMME STRENGTH
UUM is the first public university to offer a double-major programme by combining two fields of knowledge - English applied linguistics and business administration, in line with developments and changes in the fields of business communication at the regional and international levels. Emphasis is on the mastery of English as it is the current and future language of international business (Harvard Business Review, 2012; Forbes, 2012). Students who graduate with a dual major are more competitive compared to those who only have one major (Pitt & Tepper, 2012). The field of Business Administration (Second Major) was recognized by the AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) in 2016.
