Bachelor of Commerce (BCOM) in International Supply Chain Management
Course Overview :
Purpose of this Program
Our Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) in International Supply Chain Management degree is a The Supply Chain Academy SCA Global qualification on NQF level 7 and is quality assured by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) South Africa. You can complete this qualification in 3 years, but if life gets in the way, you have 8 years to wrap it up.
today’s ever-changing world, built on technology, ecommerce and global trade, supply chain management is increasingly becoming a pivotal personal competence, and a key competitive advantage for many businesses. This trend is manifesting in a worldwide shortage of supply chain management (SCM) skills and, in particular, a critical skills shortage in Sub-Saharan Africa. Hence the need for comprehensive and relevant SCM education and training.
The content is structured to introduce foundational theory and to also focus on practical implementation through a variety of projects using topical local and international case studies. The degree includes a module offered in partnership with a leading global ERP company, to prepare students for the practical realities of a supply chain role. This project- based module provides students with an additional external certification that will differentiate The Supply Chain Academy-SCA Global graduates from other students.
