About this course

The IIE Bachelor of Business Science Honours is an honours-level business qualification (NQF Level 8) offered only at the Ruimsig Johannesburg campus, where it was part of the IIE MSA postgraduate offering. It is studied full-time over one year.

Honours study at this level is designed to deepen what you learned in your undergraduate business degree and to build research skills, usually through advanced coursework and an independent research project. It is a common step for graduates who want to move into analytical, managerial or consulting roles, or who plan to go on to a master's degree.

At the time of writing, the Emeris programme page for this qualification displayed the content of a different honours degree, so detailed module, credit and SAQA information could not be confirmed from the official site. The 2027 postgraduate fee schedule confirms that the programme runs at Ruimsig as a one-year full-time honours degree.

If you are interested, contact the Ruimsig campus on (011) 950 4000 or ruimsig@emeris.ac.za for the current factsheet, modules and entry requirements before you apply.

Course intelligence for IIE Bachelor of Business Science Honours

Data-driven planning insights for this specific course: job market outlook, NSFAS funding, and how competitive admission is likely to be.

Actively hiring

Job market outlook

Good sign: Management Consultant appears on South Africa’s National List of Occupations in High Demand, a Department of Higher Education and Training analysis of employer hiring activity. Employers have been reporting real recruitment pressure for this role, which generally works in your favour once you’ve completed IIE Bachelor of Business Science Honours.

Unlikely to be NSFAS-funded

NSFAS funding

NSFAS does not usually fund students at private institutions like IIE MSA. Ask IIE MSA directly about its own bursaries or payment plans, and check whether a sector SETA offers funding for this field.

More accessible

Admission chances

IIE MSA’s intake and this course’s requirements with its published admission requirements generally leave more room than the most sought-after courses, so you likely have a reasonable window to apply without rushing, though applying early is always the safer bet.

These insights are estimates generated from South Africa’s National List of Occupations in High Demand (DHET, November 2023 draft), NSFAS’s published funding rules, and this university’s general applicant demand. They’re planning guidance, not a guarantee. Always confirm funding and admission specifics directly with IIE MSA and NSFAS.

How to apply for 2027 studies

Apply through the Emeris postgraduate contact portal (or the distance portal if you choose online study) and pay the R500 application fee. Upload a certified academic transcript, a certified copy of your completed qualification and your ID or passport. Accept your offer and pay the R3 000 pre-registration fee to secure your place; the undergraduate late fee does not apply to postgraduate applications.
