1.1 Summary Guidance on Postgraduate Selection for the BComHons in Financial Management
Sciences

The detail selection guidance set out below, should be read in conjunction with the Postgraduate Selection
Regulation contained in the postgraduate yearbook of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences.
Should you not have access to this document, please click here before proceeding or go to
http://www.up.ac.za/new-students-undergraduate/article/268887/jaarboek-inligting. In essence, the minimum
selection requirements of the BComHons in Financial Management are the following:

Final year students from  Completed Bachelor of Commerce in Financial Management degree
the University of Pretoria before commencement of the Honours degree; and
 A weighted average of 65% for the following modules at 300 level:
- Financial Management (FBS); and
- Financial Accounting (FRK) or Business Accounting (BAC).
All other applicants  Completed relevant Bachelor of Commerce degree before
commencement of the Honours degree; and
 A weighted average of 65% for the following modules at NQF new level
7 (final year at most institutions):
- Financial Management; and
- Financial Accounting; and
 Write the Financial Management Exemption Evaluation and achieve a
mark of at least 65%.

a. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS ADMITTED PER YEAR, DIVERSITY CONSIDERATIONS AND

RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS
 Due to physical and human resource constraints, a maximum number of 50 students will be selected
to enrol for this qualification.
 The diversity profile of students is currently not a consideration.
 The research areas of the department is broadly management accounting, corporate finance, financial
decision-making, behavioural finance and portfolio management

b. SELECTION PROCESS
The selection requirements set out in the introductory paragraph are applied to the two categories
stipulated in that section.

Applicants that meet the admission requirements (final year BCom Financial Management UP students
plus all other applicants) are collectively ranked based on the admission requirements. In the event that
more than 50 applicants meet all the minimum admission requirements, the top 50 applicants, based on
the average mark for Financial Management and Financial Accounting in the third year or marks obtained
in the evaluation exam, will be selected.

1.2 The BComHons Financial Management Sciences

Obtaining the degree BComHons Financial Management Sciences is the first important step on the postgraduate
study ladder. The career opportunities in the financial discipline are numerous. The majority of decisions taken by
the management of all business concerns have a financial implication. Therefore a strong foundation of the financial
discipline is required for people to approach and solve business decisions on a scientific basis. Postgraduate study
could make a significant contribution to this with graduates who:
 have the underlying scientific knowledge of the financial discipline;
 are willing to identify and accept opportunities and challenges in the financial world; and
 are willing to work hard and obtain the required experience.

No university can claim to produce ready-made financial managers. This is also not the purpose of the postgraduate
training in Financial Management Sciences at the University of Pretoria. A large part of that which the student must
ultimately know and be to qualify as successful manager, can only be instilled by practical experience and personal
development. The main requirement, however, is that the student must have the potential ability to eventually fill a
management position. The student therefore needs to be prepared for this goal. He or she needs to get a broad
perspective of the many variables he will have to deal with as a financial manager.

2 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO HONOURS STUDY

An applicant must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the BComHons Financial Management Sciences:
 Faculty admission requirements;
 Degree-specific admission requirements; and

8 LECTURE TIMES AND DATES

The University of Pretoria is a residential university and not a distance learning institution. Attendance of lectures
and assessments are compulsory and students will be required to report to campus when COVID-19 restrictions
allow it. Students will not be able to complete the programme BComHons Financial Management Sciences online
or via distance learning.

The honours lecture timetable as well as the test timetable will be made available at the beginning of the 2022
academic year.

Complusory lectures are scheduled for Monday-Thursday at 15:30-17:30 in the afternoons. Students will be
required to be available for other meetings and activities during business hours on an ad hoc basis.
7
9 FULL TIME VERSUS PART TIME STUDENTS

A full-time student is a student that intends to complete the BComHons degree over one year while a part-time
student does so over two consecutive years. However, due to the strenuous nature of the programme, it is not
recommended that students work full-time while studying towards this degree. It is recommended that a student with
full-time work commitments complete the program part-time (i.e. over two consecutive years).

A student who registers as a full-time student in the first academic year may, due to whatever reason (i.e. work
opportunity, etc.), decide to deregister certain subjects and continue part-time, therefore completing the degree over
two years. Do note that this may result in fees still being due for deregistered subjects in the applicable academic
year.

A student for an honours degree must however complete his or her study within two years. A student must also
pass at least two modules in the first year to be allowed to continue to the second year. Attendance of lectures
and assessments are compulsory, part-time students will not be able to complete the modules via distance
learning.

If you decide to study part-time, we recommend that the following subjects are taken in the first year of
study:
 FIN 702

12 PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Acquiring the degree BComHons Financial Management Sciences is the first step in the international
professional world of the Chartered Management Accountant. The Chartered Institute of Management
Accountants (CIMA) is the professional body of the Chartered Management Accountant with its headquarters in
the United Kingdom.

The CIMA qualification will equip you with the skills and strategy you need to operate in today’s dynamic financial
environment. It will also give you the ability and knowledge required by modern organisations, which need to be
both strategic and reactive in ever changing markets.

CIMA members are attractive to business because they have a wide and varied skills set. CIMA students come
from a diverse range of academic disciplines, not necessarily related to business or numeracy.

9
Undoubtedly, CIMA is for those looking to gain more than traditional accounting skills, clearly differentiating it
from other accountancy bodies. Completing the qualification will enable you to interpret data and convert it into
meaningful information needed to drive organisations into the future. You will understand the dynamics of how
economics work and grow, how the mechanisms of the market system work and how organisations can exploit
an ever more turbulent business environment. By gaining this knowledge means that your career potential goes
far beyond pure finance. You could be involved in strategic planning, business analysis or consulting.

Year after year, the world’s most prestigious employers put CIMA at the top of their list of preferred finance
qualifications. CIMA could be your passport to career success in any field you choose: commerce, financial
services, consultancy, government, the public sector or manufacturing.
