The Bachelor of Administration at the University of South Africa (Unisa) is a three-year open distance learning degree that trains students in public administration, governance, development administration, and public management within the South African context. Students study administrative law, public financial management, human resources in the public sector, local government, and development policy — preparing them to contribute to effective service delivery and governance across South Africa's three spheres of government. Unisa's flexible format makes this qualification particularly accessible for public servants seeking to formalise and advance their careers without leaving employment. Graduates are equipped for management roles across national, provincial, and local government.
Admission requirements: National Senior Certificate (NSC) with Degree endorsement and at least 50% in the language of teaching and learning and at least 50% in Mathematics, or an appropriate Higher Certificate or Diploma in Economic and Management Sciences.
