“Moving directly out of school into a specialised degree can be extremely intimidating and overwhelming for students,” says Dr Mohamed Shahiem Patel, head of Commerce and Management at Regent Business School.

“Studying a general Bachelor of Commerce degree removes some of the pressure as students can go into several different careers.

“The BCom degree affords you the opportunity to express yourself as a leader, whilst offering you a robust academic worldview,” he said.
