BCom Quantitative 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.

 

We can now offer:

 

A Four Year Bachelor Degree in Commerce with Specialisation in Quantitative Management (The curriculum for the BCom with specialisation in Quantitative Management comprises 32 modules with subject details shown on next page.)

 

Purpose

To provide students with the ability to perform complex decision-making in areas such as operations and financial management, manufacturing and logistics. Students will be equipped with skills in mathematical and financial modeling, optimization, simulation and other operation research techniques and will be able to apply these in a wide spectrum of business and management environments.

 

Career Opportunities

 

Quantitative management is a practical field. It can be applied in many areas: manufacturing, business management, banking, environmental planning, mining, housing and engineering projects, and management consultancy.

 

Masses of data and information are currently accessible for planning and management purposes. There is an increasing demand for people with systematic thinking and quantitative modeling skills who know how to utilize data. This expertise is needed in all sectors of the economy.

 

 

How it Works

 

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