The objective of the BCom(Law) is to provide students with sound academic and practical training at undergraduate level in the economic and management sciences, as well as in law. The focus of the degree is on the ce subjects of the economic and management sciences (in accdance with the student s own choice) during the second and third years of study, as well as on a number of key subjects of the LLB that are compulsy. The ultimate aim of the student should be to achieve the LLB after completion of the BCom(Law). A BCom(Law) enables a student to acquire an LLB within two years after completion of the BCom(Law) instead of within four years. After completion of the BCom(Law) and LLB, various career opptunities exist, such as attney, advocate, legal adviser and lecturer. In general, students in possession of a BCom(LLB) find it easier to obtain posts as candidate attneys at law firms than students who only possess the LLB.

BCom degrees offered in cooperation with other faculties BCom with specialisation in Statistics Please refer to page 2-4 f the admission requirements, APS, duration of programme, closing dates and career opptunities. The overall goal of the BCom(Statistics) is to provide prospective graduates with a sound academic and practical foundation in the economic and management sciences with a strong focus on statistics, from which to embark on an exciting and rewarding career in the field of statistics, which offers a variety of job opptunities and career paths. A unique feature of the three-year BCom(Statistics) is that it consistently balances they and practice. Statistics is the art and science of collecting, ganising, analysing, interpreting and presenting quantitative and qualitative data f the purpose of drawing scientifically founded conclusions. Briefly, statistics can be regarded, among other things, as the science of gaining infmation from data. With the interactive use of the computer, the statistician can apply statistical models and methods in all types of scientific research, including marketing management, communication management, tourism management, financial management, business management, investment management, human resources management, economics and agricultural economics. Statisticians are expected to be proficient in a multitude of skills. A strong numerical background and interest, the desire to master computer programming and the use of various software packages, the ability to interact with professionals from various disciplines, as well as communication skills, both verbal and in writing, are of imptance. Learning from data is one of the most relevant and vital challenges of the infmation age in which we live, and it presents exciting opptunities f those who wk as professional statisticians. F the knowledgeable and motivated graduate, there are career opptunities in many diverse as well as complementary sects, which include the following: Financial institutions: statisticians specialising in economic applications of statistics deal with aspects such as national production and expenditure, international economic relations, employment, public finance and related issues. In the insurance industry, statisticians are employed in areas such as actuarial wk, marketing, share investments and property investments. Market research ganisations play an indispensable role in gathering infmation that is used to improve the quality of decision-making in various industries. Industry: statisticians are increasingly employed in industries such as mining, production and government cpations, f example, Eskom, Sasol, AECI, and the pharmaceutical industry in general. Organised agriculture is another vitally imptant industry where sophisticated statistical techniques are used to meet the growing demand f food and services. Research councils and educational institutions: the research councils are well-known employers of scientists of diverse disciplines and employ statisticians to ensure scientifically founded research outputs. These include the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Council f Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). Statisticians are also involved in the training of students at universities and universities of technology. The challenges of modern education and good research are of great relevance, especially in South Africa. The public sect: the government employs statistically proficient people in many of its departments, the most prominent being Statistics South Africa and the South African Reserve Bank. Statistics South Africa is responsible f the five-yearly population censuses and the calculation of well-known economic indicats such as the inflation rate.
