Details

The Extended Bachelor of Commerce in Business Operations with Transport Economics at NWU is a four-year programme at the Mahikeng and Vanderbijlpark campuses, providing an accessible extended pathway into transport economics and logistics studies. The programme supports students who demonstrate potential for commerce studies but require an additional foundational year before progressing to the core curriculum. South Africa's underinvestment in transport economic expertise has contributed to inefficiencies across freight, public transport, and infrastructure planning, making this qualification particularly relevant to the country's development needs. Graduates are equipped for entry-level analytical and operational roles in South Africa's transport and logistics sectors.
