Overview

A Business Management Pathway Program in Malaysia is designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge to excel in the dynamic business world. These programs often serve as a bridge to higher education, providing a solid foundation for those pursuing a bachelor's or even a master's degree in business.

The curriculum typically covers core areas such as management fundamentals, marketing, finance, human resources, accounting, economics, and business law.
