BCom Risk 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 Risk Management

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

Purpose

The purpose of the qualification is 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 of financial and pure risk management.

Career Opportunities

Risk management addresses the effects of a turbulent and uncertain environment in an organization or company. In this specialized field you learn how to manage the effects of financial risks arising from, inter alia, exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, as well as pure risks due to theft, fire and natural disasters.

Career opportunities exist as risk manager in a corporate company or government department, as treasury manager in the treasury of banks and corporate companies, as risk control officer in manufacturing and other companies, and in short-term insurance industry as a broker/consultant.

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.
