BPubAdminHons/BCom in PDM


Bachelor of Public Administration Honours
Bachelor of Commerce in Public and Development Management

This programme is presented by means of face-to-face block sessions and interactive online sessions. The block contact sessions consist of one to two weeks of lectures in February and June and take place on the Bellville Park campus. For the interactive online sessions, you may be required to gather at an electronic study centre near your place of residence. These lecture sessions happen once a term for each module and take a whole day. These lectures are presented using appropriate interactive e-learning platforms. You can interact with the lecturer during a transmission. For the remaining time, when you are not attending block or online lectures, you must do assignments and study at home. Examinations are not all written centrally on campus, but rather in the different study centres.
