University of Stellenbosch Economic and Management Sciences Courses

The business sector in South Africa has a great need for people who can combine ideas and skills to further innovation and enterprise. All our programmes have a strong financial and management approach and are aimed at the development of quantitative abilities. In this way we help prospective business leaders to develop the management and financial decision-making skills that are needed to compete in both the South African and international markets.

Our five broad degree programmes give you a thorough grounding in economic, management and mathematical sciences and a wide choice of career focuses, some of which can lead to certification or registration with the relevant professional bodies. We also offer five degree programmes that prepare you for professional registration and that enjoy national and international recognition. In addition, we offer two programmes with a focus on law.

All bachelor’s degrees can lead to postgraduate study (honours, master’s and doctoral programmes), which entails further specialisation. Below is a short description of the bachelor’s degree programmes. For more information, please consult our Faculty’s Calendar, Part 10.
