re you a “fundi” when it comes to the ins and outs of economics? Does the thought of studying a broad-based Bachelor of Commerce degree get your heart racing? If you answered, “yes” to both of the above, a Bcom in Economics from Varsity College could open up a world of limitless career possibilities for you!

The fact of the matter is that money makes the world go round. With this sentiment in mind, what South Africa really needs are more bright, young minds who have something positive to add to its business climate and economy.
