BCom Management Accounting

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 Management Accounting

(The curriculum for the BCom with specialisation in Management Accounting comprises 34 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

Purpose

To provide students with a base for further specializations towards a professional career in Management Accounting in the first instance and in other related fields in the second instance.

Career Opportunities

Candidates who have completed this degree would have acquired adequate knowledge and mastered sufficient skills enabling them to evaluate and identify investment opportunities. They would also be in a position to initiate an enterprise of their own and to manage it optimally, thereby, maximizing profit. Alternatively, candidates obtaining this degree would be capable of making a significant contribution at all levels of decision-making of small, medium or large enterprises. People schooled in Management Accounting are increasingly in demand in all sectors of the economy.

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.

A specially designed study method based on Unisa’s extensive competence in distance education.
