FAQs

This gives you the opportunity to plan and structure your studies around your life and commitments. Our online courses and resources are intentionally designed to support and empower you to progress and achieve your learning and career goals.

All the programmes offered by Milpark Education are benchmarked against international standards. In South Africa, all higher education programmes must be quality assured by the Council on Higher Education's Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC). Once the HEQC has approved a programme, it is registered by the Department of Higher Education and Training and is also listed on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) which is administered by the South African Qualifications Authority, known as SAQA. The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is a 10-level framework in terms of which all higher education (HE) qualifications are constructed and mapped. To further cement this standing, Milpark offers the only online AMBA-accredited MBA in Africa. Other accreditations include SAICA accreditation for our Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting qualification, offered through Milpark incorporating CA Connect.

The School of Commerce offers majors in Compliance and Risk Management or Taxation. The School of Professional Accounting, offers a BCom in Accounting, and the School of Financial Services, offers majors in Banking, Financial Planning, Investment Management, Short-term Insurance, Credit or Banking and Investment Management. Our School brochures provide a detailed breakdown of courses available as well as the admission requirements necessary to apply for each. All our academic courses have been outlined to ensure that you get the most out of your learning experience with Milpark.

By studying a BCom degree, you can develop your business acumen and management capabilities through systematically building up knowledge in key business areas. At Milpark, there are 9 different BCom major options to choose from, in addition to the general BCom degree programme.

However, studying a commerce degree or diploma does not guarantee financial success. There is no definite answer, as students choose different career prospects and interests once they have completed their commerce qualification at Milpark.

Candidates who do not meet the Mathematics requirement may be offered admission on condition that they successfully complete the BCom bridging programme, if they have achieved at least a symbol of E on HG or a C on SG in any two of the following subjects:
  • Economics
  • Business Economics
  • Accounting
  • Physical Science or Physics/Chemistry
  • Natural Science or Biology

This programme is designed for students on their path to CA(SA). Find out more about the SAICA-accredited CTA programme here.

As Milpark Education is a private higher education institution, we do not offer NSFAS funding. However, we do offer select bursaries, and we work closely with Capitec to provide prospective students with financial aid during their studies. Find out more about our Capitec partnership here.

Yes, Milpark Education does offer bursaries to deserving students based on their academic performance and financial needs. Applications typically open in the September and close in November for the following year. Milpark bursaries are not available for the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting (PGDA/CTA) and Advanced Accounting (Bridging Short Course to PGDA / CTA).
