About BCom (AGA IT) Bridging Programme

This add-on programme lets graduates of the general BCom or BCom (AGA) complete the extra technology-focused modules, such as applied programming, automation and IT governance, risk and compliance, that make up the BCom (AGA IT) curriculum. It is intended as a top-up route rather than a stand-alone qualification, bringing existing BCom graduates up to the same academic standard as students who completed the AGA IT pathway from the start, in line with SAICA's requirements for the AGA(SA) designation.
