BCom Logistics

Untitled Document

Are you dreaming of having a top university degree qualification…but never been able to justify taking time out of work to study? Did you start working immediately after school and wish now you had gone to University to study for a Bachelor degree?

Management Development Centre International (MDCI) may have the answer for you.

Join over 7000 international students from Europe, USA and the rest of the world.

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 Logistics

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

Career Opportunities

This specialized degree will equip students with the basic principles and practical skills of logistics that will enable them to ensure that products and services are available in the right quantities where and when they are needed at the lowest total costs.

Those who are employed by or seek employment in businesses involved in the procurement, selling, distribution and transport of supplies, semi-finished products and consumer products or who wish to become logistics managers, distribution managers and officials, warehouse managers and transport managers, should enroll for this degree.

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

· On-line library access: for the your all-important research materials (journals, books, papers, etc)

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