📚About the Program

This programme allows students to study a wide array of Home Economics and Business related modules. This programme is the first in its kind as it is the only programme that offers a BA (Hons) in Home Economics and Business nationally. Furthermore, the opportunities upon successful completion are vast. Graduates may decide to pursue a Professional Master of Education (PME) in Home Economics and Business or decide to work as a Home Economist with families in a community setting. Graduates also have the knowledge, skills and competencies to work in area’s of food, nutrition, textiles, household technology (to name but a few). Graduates may also decide to action their business and entrepreneurial knowledge and create their own food, beverage or textile related product or business. The nature of the Home Economics programme is diverse, and requires graduates to gain competencies in a multidisciplinary context. This means graduates will gain expertise and develop skills in culinary arts, biological sciences, textiles and design, consumer studies, family resource management, social studies, architecture, and environmental studies. Through the study of Business, graduates will gain insight and develop skills in management, accounting, economics, human resource management, international business, entrepreneurship, and legal studies. The design of the programme means the knowledge and skills gained by graduates will encompass discipline knowledge and skills in Home Economics and Business, along with an introduction into education studies. This will provide a solid foundation to develop pedagogical expertise when graduates go on to complete the PME. Graduates from the BA (Hons) in Home Economics and Business who go on to complete the PME, will complete their studies as teaching professionals, critical thinkers and innovators, with a broad worldview. The module Preliminary School Placement in Home Economics introduces students to the actual teaching of Home Economics in schools through a supported school classroom placement working with an experienced Home Economics teacher. This placement takes place during the second semester of year 3, where students will work with a qualified teacher for a number of class periods in school each week, whilst completing their studies in MTU.
