Bachelor Banking (BBanking)

Join over 250,000 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 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 Banking (BBanking)

(The curriculum for the BBanking comprises 33 modules offered by the University of South Africa and 9 papers offered by the Institute of Bankers in South Africa. The subject details are shown on next page.)

Purpose of the Degree

To provide students with graduate level knowledge, specific skills and applied competence that provide opportunities for continued personal intellectual growth, gainful economic activity and valuable contributions to society in the fields associated with financial services and local and international banking.

Career Opportunities

Students who successfully completed the BBanking degree will qualify for banks and other financial institutions, particularly in their treasury departments.

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. 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.
