MDC SA has developed a unique partnership with University of South Africa (UNISA) to offer locally supported distance education programmes designed for working people.

UNISA – The “MEGA” University

The main partner of MDC SA for this programme is the highly regarded University of South Africa (UNISA) – classed as one of the 11 leading very large universities. Founded in 1873, UNISA gained its University Royal Charter in 1876. It became the world’s first completely Distance Education University in 1946.

MDC SA is delighted to work with UNISA in the development of these programmes, and has an excellent reputation for the delivery of distance education to busy individuals.

We can now offer:

A Bachelor Degree in Business Administration (BBA)

(The curriculum for the BBA comprises 32 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

Career Opportunities

The degree is suitable not only for students who wish to acquire a broad-based training for a career in the business sectors, but also with graduates who wish to compliment their degrees with a more business-oriented qualification.

The degree offers students the opportunity of pursuing careers in the business world, inter alia as managers, entrepreneurs or functional specialists in, for example, finance, marketing or human resource management.

How it Works

The method of teaching this course is highly innovative. We call it “locally supported distance education” : learning through University supplied materials and MDC SA administration and resource centres. It is based on MDC SA “On-location” method of teaching which is so successful for postgraduate study here in the Middle East.
