The University of Johannesburg is proud to offer the Master of Commerce qualification in Competition and Economic Regulation in 2024 for the seventh year running. The qualification was developed following the identification of a critical gap in skills in the field on the continent.<\/p>

As the first masters\u2019 degree in this field to be offered in Africa, this programme will equip students with the specialist knowledge and skills required to undertake rigorous economic analysis in competition and regulatory matters.<\/p>

Successful students will be able to use these skills to analyse firm behaviour in competition cases and matters of economic regulation for the relevant public authorities and for private parties. The competition cases include mergers, abuse of dominance and cartel\/collusion cases across a wide range of industries. Economic regulation matters include types of price regulation, tariff setting, licencing, entry and access requirements, auctions, investments and incentives in regulated industries such as telecommunications, banking, energy and transportation, which have far-reaching economic implications.<\/p>

Students will put into practice theoretical economic principles related to competition and regulatory economics and undertake research in these areas. Students will be able to evaluate the potential harm of anticompetitive behaviour and weigh it against efficiencies, as well as analyse the role of competition and regulation in economic development. A key focus is placed on the implications of climate change for economic regulation and competition. This includes a review of questions in energy, transport and food markets and the challenges for the transitions required.<\/p>

Taught by a unique combination of academics and practitioners with on-the-ground experience, each module will be taught through lectures (including guest lectures), seminars, student presentations on analyses of actual cases and interactive hypothetical exercises based on competition and regulatory matters.<\/p>
