The Extended BCom in Economic Sciences with International Trade at NWU's Vanderbijlpark campus is a four-year programme providing an accessible extended entry into international trade economics studies. Students who meet the minimum requirements but need foundational support benefit from an additional preparatory year before engaging with the full international economics curriculum. South Africa's growing participation in the AfCFTA and other regional trade agreements is creating new demand for trade-literate professionals across the public and private sectors. Graduates develop analytical and trade management skills applicable to export promotion, customs practice, and trade policy support roles.
