It has always been customary in Afrikaans to write the second letter of the abbreviation for a degree as a capital letter where this is the beginning of a new word, viz. BCom, BA, DPhil, BSc, etc. This is also how it is given by Pharos Afr/Eng, Eng/Afr dictionary, unless of course if UNISA writes it differently. Perhaps this should be cleared for the sake of the enquirer.
