About Faculty of Management Sciences
The University's Faculty of Management Sciences welcomes you to the Butterworth's Campus.
It is the largest Faculty with a number of diverse commerce-related programmes that attract students from different spheres of the country and abroad.
The programmes offered include:
- Accounting
- Management
- Public Management
- Administrative
- Tourism
- Hospitality Sciences.
These programmes aim to address the needs of the business, industry, local and regional communities.
The Faculty has already aligned most of its programmes with the new requirements for Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework, accredited by the Council for Higher Education (CHE) and registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
As a result, a National Diploma has changed to a Diploma; a BTech is called an Advanced Diploma. New Diplomas will be three-year programmes; Advanced Diplomas will be for a one-year duration.
The Faculty continues to make a significant contribution to the core business of Walter Sisulu University.
We look forward to partnering with you in your endeavours to fulfil your dreams and for the betterment of the region, the province as well as the country.
