MCom in Business - Structure of the Course
The award of Master of Commerce in Business requires the completion of eight units. Each MCom unit carries a weight of four postgraduate credit points so the program is 32 credit points in total. Four units (16 credit points) must be selected from one of the MCom in Business disciplinary areas, which is then designated as a major area of study. The remaining four MCom units (16 credit points) are selected from two other disciplinary areas with two units (8 credit points) taken from each of these disciplinary areas. The objective is to ensure a spread of study across core business disciplines.
There are eleven disciplinary areas in the MCom in Business. These are:
- Accounting
- Actuarial Studies
- Commercial Law
- Economics
- Entrepreneurship and Innovation
- Finance
- Information Systems and Technology
