The Master of Commerce is a research-oriented programme preparing students for a PhD and an academic career. Offered as part of an Integrated PhD program, the MCom may be completed in one or two years, depending on the specialisation and the student's prior studies. The MCom provides advanced coursework relevant to the specialisation to provide a thorough academic grounding in the skills and knowledge required to undertake original research. Upon successful completion of the MCom degree, students who perform at the required standard and demonstrate strong research capability will progress to the PhD (3 years). The MCom is the perfect pathway to doctoral studies for students who aim to pursue an academic career.
