In the BCom degree, students will learn to: Understand the marketplace for new technology-based start-up businesses in the creative, media and other industries. Understand how businesses in the field of new technologies function. Understand how to employ new technologies in disruptive ways to gain a foothold in the marketplace and to compete at new levels in the creative industries in the sectors of media, sport and entertainment. Understand how to manage money to ensure the financial stability of their start-up business Understand marketing to ensure that their business idea reaches the required markets. All of AFDA’s programmes integrate with each other at various points in the curriculum. Please contact your nearest campus to book a consultation with the Head of School, BCom lecturer or a member of the recruitment team to discuss the details of the curriculum.

Please contact your nearest AFDA campus to find out more Core Course Like the Bachelor of Arts degree at AFDA, the core course modules for The AFDA School of Business and Innovation’s BCom and BCT degrees are a unique and progressive approach to deal with the vast expanse of knowledge and theories that are accessible today. More importantly, it is an approach to learning that is designed to stimulate innovative, conceptual and perceptual thinking; in doing so, allowing students to model and align existing knowledge to their integrated production outcomes. Shared production projects, team-based outcomes and evaluation act as the ’glue’ between various degrees and disciplines. Students from various disciplines integrate and share creativity and innovation in a networked, concrete, outcomes-based manner. Core course runs over the 3 years in the BCom and includes the following 5 components: Assessing the Dissipation of a Value Flow Determining Market Need for the Dissipating Value Flow Originating a Sustainable Business Model Establishing Brand and Product/Service Appeal Business Presentation & Effective Delivery Control Disciplines There are four compulsory disciplines (areas of specialisation) in the first year of the BCom. From the second year, the student will pursue two disciplines according to their aptitude and by the third year, the student would major in one of those disciplines: Business Leadership Marketing & Sales Finance Business Management Outcomes FIRST YEAR [DISCOVERY] 1st Year is about identifying a dissipating value in an existing product and develop a business concept around monetising it. e.g. Film Archive or Talent Management and Exhibition system. SECOND YEAR [TRAINING] 2nd Year is about online streaming platforms and monetizing immersive experiences using Virtual Reality in entertainment events. THIRD YEAR [EXPERT / ENTREPRENEUR] 3rd Year involves integration with all schools at AFDA around the Experimental and Graduation Festival events and identifying value opportunities for capitalising on the value of the products leading up to and/or for the festival event.
