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

UNISA – The “MEGA” University

The main partner of MDCI 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.

MDCI 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. This has resulted in MDCI’s parent company being awarded the Queen’s award for Export Achievement in 1999.

We can now offer:

A Bachelor Degree in Commerce with Specialisation in Management

(The curriculum for the BCom with specialisation in Management comprises 32 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

Purpose

The business environment is complex, dynamic and fast-changing, necessitating the need for managers to acquire sophisticated management skills to compete in local and global markets. These skills involve the efficient and effective use of resources to achieve organizational objectives. The BCom with specialization in Management was developed to prepare managers for the challenging task of contemporary management by teaching them the classic as well as the most recent and relevant theoretical and practical management skills.

Career Opportunities

In modern society, individuals such as restaurant managers, production managers, marketing managers, shop managers, executive managers, deans, superintendents, ship captains, general managers or strategic managers to name but a few, do important work. These individuals may work in different organizations with different goals, but they all have one characteristic in common: they practice management.

This specialized degree is suitable for students who want to follow careers as managers in any sector of the economy as functional, general or executive managers. Professionals such as engineers, accountant, medical practitioners and lawyers need managerial skills to manage or to make progress in their companies or practices. The degree will also enable graduates to work as management consultants or to manage their own companies.

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 MDCI administration and resource centres. It is based on MDCI “On-location” method of teaching which is so successful for postgraduate study here in the Middle East.

Locally Supported Distance Education

A specially designed study method based on Unisa’s extensive competence in distance education. This expertise is supplemented locally by MDCI’s considerable experience in supporting over 500 postgraduate students close to their homes but distant from the university.

Advantages of Locally Supported Distance Education

· Flexibility: you study at your own pace

· Convenience: you study from home

· Local administrative support: through MDCI’s regional offices

· On-line support: through Unisa’s Student on Line (SOL) system

· Telephone and email support: from Unisa faculty

· Textbook ordering facility: speedy service at reasonable prices for your books.
