BCom Strategic Supply Management

Join over 250,000 international students from Europe, USA and the rest of the world.

MDC SA 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 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.

We can now offer:

A Bachelor Degree in Commerce with Specialisation in Strategic Supply Management

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

Purpose

To provide qualifiers with graduate-level knowledge, specific skills and applied competence that provide opportunities for continued personal intellectual growth, gainful economic activity, and valuable contribution to society in a new strategic and integrated approach to the field traditionally associated with the procurement of materials and services in manufacturing and non-manufacturing organizations.

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.

Advantages of Locally Supported Distance Education

· Flexibility: you study at your own pace

· Convenience: you study from home

· Local administrative support: through MDC SA’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.

Course Fees

Fees are payable to MDC Sa in US Dollars. Each module is $290. The fees are subject to change from one academic year to the next.
