Business, Accounting and Economics (BAE) Club
The Accounting Club (Department of Management & Economics) was established in November 1998. This club was formed with the objective to create opportunities for students to meet, communicate and share their academic experience. Besides that, the club also plays a vital role in enhancing the management and communication skills of its committee members by giving them a chance to manage and organize various activities independently. Due to the confusion over the name of the club where students would perceive the club those solely carryout accounting activities, it has been renamed to the Business, Accounting and Economics (BAE) Club since September 2008.
