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 (BCom-General)

(The curriculum for the BCom-General comprises 32 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

Career Opportunities

The BCom degree provides the necessary background to a wide field of career opportunities in the business world.

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 MDC SA “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 MDC SA’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 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 US$290. The fees are subject to change from one academic year to the next.
