BCom Honours (Logistics Management) § 2022
Applications will be accepted until October each year.
1. GENERAL
The Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management offers training in two fields for the degree: • BCom Honours (Logistics Management) • BCom Honours (Transport Economics) After completion of an honours degree, advanced study may be undertaken in one of the following: • MCom / MPhil (with the same endorsement as for honours).
This is a dissertation on an approved subject under leadership of a study leader. • A course based MCom with specialisation in Supply Chain Management is offered in the College. The Department also provides the opportunity to obtain DCom and DPhil degrees in Logistics Management or Transport Economics, in which research is undertaken under guidance of a study leader appointed by the department.
2. COMPOSITION OF THE PROGRAMME
The Honours programme has 17 modules. A learner should do at least 11 modules. A particular programme is assembled according to certain requirements. A number of compulsory modules are included in each programme and in some instances it is prescribed that modules or combinations of modules, must be completed in a specified order. The reason for this is to ensure the necessary frame of reference before continuing with the next modules. The composition of the various modules are set out in paragraph 10. The nature of the various modules indicates a certain measure of flexibility, which inter alia manifests itself in the format of a task or assignment.
