INTRODUCTION TO THE FACULTY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTANCY

Business education in the University of Malaya dates back to 1966 when the Faculty of Economics and Administration first offered business and accounting courses. In line with the increasing demand for accounting and business programmes, the Faculty of Business and Accountancy (FBA) was subsequently established on the 1st of February 1997 to focus on developing these programmes. FBA strives to meet the challenges of preparing students to play a vital role in industry and nation building. FBA seeks to remain at the forefront of business and accounting education and continues to enjoy the reputation as an excellent knowledge-based institution.

FBA is headed by a Dean and assisted by three Deputy Deans and five Heads of Department.

The five departments are the Department of Business Policy and Strategy, Department of Finance and Banking, Department of Accounting, Department of Marketing and Department of Operations and Management Information Systems.

Currently, FBA offers six successful programmes. The three programmes offered at the postgraduate level are Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Management (MM) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), while the three undergraduate programmes are Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) and Bachelor of Finance (BOF).
