BCom Transport Economics

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.

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 Four Year Bachelor Degree in Commerce with Specialisation in Transport Economics

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

Career Opportunities

A qualification in this specialized field is suitable for a career in road, rail, air and sea transport, both in the public and private sectors. Transport managers, logisticians and transport economists are employed by state enterprises as well as by private mining, agricultural, manufacturing and commercial groups.

Various large companies operate their own fleets and need transport experts. National, provincial, and local transport authorities employ experts in the area of passenger and goods transport or appoint consultants. Job opportunities also exist in related areas, such as freight forwarding and tourism.
