Structure
The BBusSci "allows for intensive specialization" in the degree major[2] and thus comprises a four-year Honours level program. It differs from the Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) - the three year Bachelor's degree in business and economics usually offered in South Africa - in that, additional to the treatment of the major, all students are exposed to management theory in some depth. Further, majors in various quantitative-based subjects are available under the BBusSci, while these are not offered in (most) BComm programs; relatedly, all students must take a full first-year mathematics course, in addition to courses in statistics. For a comparison with other undergraduate degrees in business and management, see discussion under Business education, and compare Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
A student reading the Business Science degree will be able to specialise in the following subjects:
Institutions
The degree is offered by several South African universities (all offer the BComm): The University of Cape Town has offered the BBusSci degree since 1968;[3] The University of KwaZulu Natal,[2] Rhodes University[1] and Monash University in South Africa[4] have offered the degree more recently.
The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) [5] and UNISA[6] both have departments of business and management "Science", although do not grant the BBusSci qualification; Wits, in its BComm, requires compulsory credits in "Computational Mathematics" (calculus and matrix algebra) and statistics,[7] and allows Commerce students to major in quantitative subjects - if combined with economics - through the BEconSci.[8]
Elsewhere, the degree is offered by the University of Delhi[9] in India; by Strathmore University[10] in Kenya and by the Faculty of Business in University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka.[11] In some universities in Spain, in Europe, such as Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, it is also offered as Bachelor in Business Sciences - Management.
