In 1970, Commerce became an independent Faculty, initially comprising the Departments of Management and Accounting. Finance and Marketing followed in 1974. Over time, the academic structure expanded into Banking and Insurance, Management Information Systems, International Business, Tourism and Hospitality Management, and Organization Strategy and Leadership.
The Faculty adopted the name Faculty of Business Studies in 1995.
