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 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 Accounting Science (BCompt)

(The curriculum for the BCompt comprises 34 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

 

Career Opportunities

 

This degree is mainly, but not exclusively, for persons who wish to become Chartered Accountants (CA) or Certified Public Accountant (CPA). It offers a variety of employment opportunities in the private and public sectors.

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.

 

Locally Supported Distance Education

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