Subjects that are counted towards one specialisation may not be counted again towards another. Students must contact the Course Director to receive approval for an alternate subject.
Students who complete one or more of the designated specialisations will graduate with the specialisation names on their testamur.
Master of Commerce (16 subjects)
The 128 point Master course consists of sixteen subjects. This extended version of the MCom offers an opportunity for students who wish to graduate with an additional Specialisation.

The course structure for the 16 subject MCom is similar to the structure listed for the 12 subject MCom.
