BCom Human Resource 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.

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 Commerce with Specialisation in Human Resource Management

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

Purpose of the Degree

The purpose of the BCom degree with specialisation in Human Resource Management is to equip students with relevant knowledge and skills to enable them to staff the organisation, design and analyse jobs, develop employees, identify approaches to improve performance, reward employees and maintain sound labour relations.

It is based on MDC SA “On-location” method of teaching which is so successful for postgraduate study here in the Middle East.
