Bachelor of Management Accounting

The increasing complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity in the operating environments of organisations make it difficult for their leaders and employees to create and preserve sustainable value. Finance professionals with high quality technical skills, deep understanding of their organisations, and the ability to influence and lead people can provide the insight those organisations need to craft and successfully execute their strategies. The BMA syllabus has been designed to enable this. The programme’s syllabus and assessment bridges skills gaps of newly qualified finance graduates, meeting the management accounting employability needs of both business and people.

The BMA degree programme is designed to meet the growing demand for professionally qualified management accountants who have also acquired academic competences. It is intended for the following groups of people.
