The BCom – Extended Programme has lower entrance requirements than other three-year BCom programmes and is designed to accommodate students who are academically less prepared, but who are willing to work hard to correct chinks in their academic armour, thus earning success and eventually a degree.
The programme includes an additional year of study, during which students’ basic knowledge and skills are enhanced before progressing to more focussed studies in the last three years of their chosen degree programmes. Students who embark on this programme theoretically have a much greater opportunity to succeed in their studies, as the teaching model utilises smaller tutorial groups and provides dedicated support to students who need assistance to bridge the gap between school and university.
For more information, please consult the Faculty webpage.
Career opportunities depend on the programme chosen by students in their second year of study.
