Go Further: BSc (Hons) Business with Management from South Africa

Build your ambitions from where you are. The BSc (Hons) Business with Management is delivered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College. While living in South Africa, you can develop business and management knowledge with ideas you can apply across industries and internationally.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a qualification that can help you communicate your academic achievement to employers and professional contacts internationally.

Studying business with management also gives you a foundation for thinking about organisations, decisions and leadership beyond a single market. Wherever your ambitions take you, that broader perspective can help you approach new opportunities with confidence.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as 24 months

You can complete the programme entirely online, without relocating or putting your life in South Africa on hold. With a route that can take as little as 24 months, your next academic milestone may be closer than you think.

Online study makes it possible to keep moving towards your goals alongside work and other commitments. Your progress will depend on your circumstances and study pace, but the programme is designed to make a degree possible without a campus commute.

Study without scheduled online attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates. Instead of arranging your life around live sessions, you can engage with your studies at times that work for you.

That flexibility can be especially valuable when work schedules change or responsibilities compete for your attention. You can plan focused study time around the rhythm of your own week.

Take your learning wherever you go

Study from home in South Africa, during a work trip or while travelling elsewhere in the world. The online format lets you stay connected to your learning wherever life takes you.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means travel time or periods without a reliable connection can still become opportunities to learn.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

The programme uses open-book assessments rather than classical question-and-answer exams. You can draw on learning materials as you work through the questions and demonstrate your understanding.

This approach encourages you to engage with ideas, evaluate information and develop reasoned responses—valuable habits when facing complex decisions in business and management.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Study with tutors and faculty whose educational backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic experiences can expose you to different ways of approaching business challenges. As you develop your own perspective, you can learn from people shaped by a range of international academic environments.

Join a global learning community

Robert Kennedy College brings together students from more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different experiences can broaden discussions and help you see familiar business questions in new ways.

Alumni work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the range of workplaces represented in the wider alumni community, without implying any particular career outcome for graduates.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

The programme's fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you a way to spread the cost over time as you plan your studies.

Clear payment planning can make it easier to fit education into a wider personal budget. Review the fee information as you consider the schedule that works best for you.

Put your learning to work in South Africa

South Africa's financial services sector brings together banking, insurance, investment and financial technology. Business and management study can help you develop a stronger understanding of organisational strategy, operations and decision-making—useful perspectives in a sector adapting to changing customer needs and technology.

In mining, manufacturing and logistics, organisations must coordinate people, resources and processes while responding to shifting markets. The programme can help you think more systematically about management challenges that arise across these interconnected industries.

South Africa's tourism, retail and growing digital economy also offer settings in which business insight matters. Whether you hope to contribute to an established organisation or develop an enterprise of your own, the ability to evaluate opportunities, work with others and adapt your approach can serve you across sectors.
