UFS Bachelor of Commerce BCom (Accounting) Course
About
BCom (Accounting) focuses on the Commercial and Financial Accountants’ (CFA) profession. Students who wish to become Chartered Accountants must register for the BAcc degree. Alternatively, they can register for the BCom (Accounting) degree, and with the approval of the Programme Director: Accountancy and based on favourable results, transfer to the BAcc degree. Subsequent postgraduate qualifications are also available in Taxation or Management Accounting.
Against the background of our mission to be a dynamic, innovative and quality-driven faculty, the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences covers a diverse academic spectrum, from public and private sector management, to specialised training for accountants at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and aim to provide relevant, market-driven capacity and competence through, inter alia, research.
Students can obtain first-degree qualifications in one of three teaching programmes: Private Sector Management, Public Sector Management and Training of Accountants. These qualifications aim to develop students’ intellectual skills through scientific teaching and learning so that they will be thoroughly prepared for various careers in the broad field of Economics and Management. Furthermore, the faculty offers successful international programmes for both staff and students.
