Message from the Dean

The Faculty of Humanities is widely recognised for its excellent contribution to teaching, research and community engagement, and attracts academics and students who are passionate about the human sciences and the contribution these sciences make to society. The Faculty is committed to equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their professional careers and in other spheres of life. The Faculty offers an exciting range of study programmes and discipline-based majors. BA General offers students considerable freedom to select and combine their core and elective modules from the available disciplines. Other study programmes specify either partially or fully the modules that students have to take. In the light of this diversity of study programmes, students need the advice and guidance of academics in the Faculty to assist them in considering alternatives carefully before they make a final decision on the most appropriate choice for their interests and career ambitions. With its 17 academic departments and two teaching units, the Faculty contributes significantly to the development of South Africas human capital by producing well-rounded graduates, many of whom go on to careers and/or postgraduate studies both locally and abroad. The Facultys academic curricula, research activities and community engagement initiatives not only address the diverse needs of local communities, but also contribute significantly to international endeavours and debates in the human sciences.

What does the study programme entail?

This study programme is aimed at acquiring in-depth knowledge of the normal hearing process within the framework of human communication. The study programme entails training in audiometry, as well as in hearing therapy for persons of all ages experiencing hearing loss. It includes the possible causes of hearing loss and the scientific basis of intervention for a person suffering from hearing loss or people at risk of developing hearing loss. Evaluation and therapy (intervention) may occur in a one-on-one situation, within a group context, as part of a multidisciplinary team approach, or by means of community-based intervention programmes. Practical skills in evaluation, hearing therapy and techniques for improving aural and general communication skills are acquired. The qualification complies with international requirements.

This study programme is aimed at acquiring in-depth knowledge of normal speech and language processes within the framework of human communication (children and adults). The possible causes and symptomatology of abnormal speech and language, as well as the scientific basis of intervention in the case of a person with a speech and/ or language disorder or those at risk of developing such pathology, are included.
I completed the BCommunication Pathology (Audiology) degree in 2011. I loved being part of the Faculty of Humanities because I was constantly allowed to interact with people. The Audiology programme gave me the opportunity to gain practical experience at numerous schools and hospitals, and various clinics. I won the Susan M Swart Award for the best student in Audiology: Academic 2011 and received UP achievement bursaries throughout my studies. I am currently doing my community service at the Laudium Community Health Centre and would love to be involved in a programme that focuses on the early identification of hearing loss in infants.

I first fell in love with social work when I started studying it in 2008, and completed my degree with distinction in 2011. What I love about being a social worker is the fact that you empower individuals, families, couples, groups and communities at various levels. In 2010, I received the Best Social Work Student Award for third-year students, and in 2011 the Best Social Work Student Award for fourth-year students. I am planning to expand my knowledge and do a masters in Play Therapy soon, as this is my biggest passion and dream job in social work!

BA General (Psychology)

Students who want to major in Psychology at an undergraduate level must apply for a BA General. There are no specific prerequisite school subjects needed to apply for this study programme, but prospective students need an APS of at least 30. All undergraduate psychology modules (first-, second- and third-year levels) will need to be taken, including faculty research modules.
I am currently studying for an honours degree in Psychology and obtained the BA degree cum laude, majoring in Criminology and Psychology. What I love about the Faculty is that besides the academic knowledge that students obtain, there are opportunities to participate in community work. We are privileged to have the opportunity to give back to the community and also to gain experience. In my first year, I was given the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant at the UNICA School for Autism. I also work as a tutor in the Department of Psychology. I volunteer as a counsellor at the Amato Pregnancy Crisis Centre, and hope to become a clinical psychologist one day.

I studied concurrently for the BA (Law) and LLB degrees, and made International Relations my BA major after finding the subject fascinating. I especially appreciated the genuine enthusiasm for life and humanity that members of this Faculty share, true to their field. The BA degree has enriched my understanding of international law and I am currently studying for a masters degree with a scholarship from the National Research Foundation. My dream job is to ultimately work as an international lawyer.

I studied for a BA in Languages with specialisation in French and Spanish because I really wanted to broaden my language spectrum and make a career out of it. I had the opportunity to speak French and Spanish with the ambassadors from the various embassies in Pretoria. It was a great experience for me to be able to communicate in a language other than English or Afrikaans. I am currently doing a BAHons in Translation Studies and hope to become a university lecturer, teaching others these wonderful languages. Specialising in languages was not a career choice, but a lifestyle choice.

The increasing prominence of English as a preferred medium of communication, both in South Africa and abroad, means that there is a steady demand for language practitioners who are fluent in English. The English Studies programme has been designed to meet this need and offers an attractive qualification to anyone who loves English, but would also like to be able to get a job on completion of their study programme. By the end of this study programme, which is unique to the University of Pretoria, students will have the ability to speak, read and write English fluently and correctly, and they will be able to apply the rules of English grammar effectively and with understanding. They will also have knowledge of a variety of rhetorical structures and strategies and of the basic principles of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and editing and writing for the media. In addition, they will have knowledge of a wide range of literature written in English and they will be familiar with the work of key writers and literary movements in South Africa and abroad. Core modules There are compulsory core modules for each year of study. In the first year, students are introduced to the study of English literature and to the fundamentals of grammar and effective writing. In the first year, students are advised to investigate study areas such as philosophy, art and design, drama and film studies, cultural studies, information science, other languages and translation. In their second year, they can specialise in one or more of these new fields. In the same year, students combine the study of modern and African literature with an introduction to aspects of linguistics. In this year, they can also specialise in one or more of these subject areas. In the third year, the study programme becomes more focused as students study less recent literature, as well as two of the following: TESOL, editing or translation. Fundamental modules See compulsory Academic Information Management (AIM) test for registered first-year students on page 23. Elective modules A wide range of elective modules is available in the first two years of the study programme so that students can acquire a range of skills.
After completing their undergraduate studies, students may register for an honours degree in English. This will allow them to continue combining the study of literature with applied linguistic skills such as TESOL and editing, while also allowing them to branch out into new fields, such as creative writing, childrens literature and independent research. After completing their undergraduate studies, students may also apply for an honours degree in Journalism.

BPolSci (International Studies)


In essence, this programme offers a description of international events, an explanation of how and why international relations come about, and a prescription of what ought to happen in international politics. It also promotes democratic values and norms that are applicable locally and internationally, and contributes to students education as citizens of the country and the world. Politics is not limited to the state, but extends beyond national boundaries into adjacent regions and the world. In a globalising world, these international political relations are not limited to interstate or government interactions and membership of international organisations, but include links with, and the activities of, non-state actors. Furthermore, they include political and military matters, as well as non-political affairs with international implications. International studies thus cover a vast
13
terrain, involving peace, security, development and justice. This study programme establishes knowledge and provides an understanding of international relations, develops the skills necessary to analyse, compare and explain world politics at a national, regional and global level, the impact thereof on society, and the changes to which it is subjected. The study programme is primarily based on the political sciences and related disciplines. International relations is the major subject and has to be taken up to the final year. People differ in their understanding of international relations, and the discipline of international studies acknowledges this diversity. Core modules International relations is the major subject, and should be taken until the final study year. Other core modules are drawn from political science, the second most important subject in the study programme, as well as from economics. Fundamental modules See compulsory Academic Information Management (AIM) test for registered first-year students on page 23. Elective modules The elective modules supplement the understanding of international relations and contribute to the formulation of political values and attitudes. Options include philosophy, geography, history, religion studies, sociology and international languages, providing a measure of flexibility. Students are allowed to concentrate on a specific area, such as African studies, security studies, foreign policy and diplomacy, or international political economy. Apart from coursework, various text analyses, individual and group assignments, group discussions, simulations, case studies and applied exercises constitute an important part of most of these modules and will enhance students knowledge and skills.

BA Fine Arts covers a broad spectrum of professional art practices. The studio-based component of art practice includes fine arts practice (BKK) and professional art practice (VIT). The studio subject fine arts practice (BKK) is a four-year subject that incorporates traditional areas of art practice
16
such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing and photography. Once fundamental aspects of these disciplines are mastered, increasingly more challenging goals are set that often require inter- and multidisciplinary skills and knowledge, such as installation art, public art and performance art. The role played by multimedia in the form of projections, video and digital art has also become a major form of expression in the fine arts study programme. The first two years of BKK are project-based, the third year focuses on personal development of medium, context and content, and in the fourth year, students work towards their first professional solo exhibition with all the theoretical, professional and practical skills that are associated with an exhibition of academic standing. The studio subject professional art practice (VIT) is a three-year subject that is offered together with fine arts in the first three years of the BA Fine Arts study programme. This subject focuses on the interdependence and interrelationship of the visual arts and the integration of art and life. Students are given projects that draw their attention to the spaces and situations of their environment on a number of levels moral, social, economic, political or spiritual by grappling with art and ideas. Communitybased projects, such as public or new-genre public art projects, fall under the subject VIT. In general, the BA Fine Arts study programme is geared towards an in-depth consolidation of the practical, technical and theoretical skills of fine arts practice and is intended to give young artists the theoretical and practical tools they need to navigate an ever-changing practice in art. Core modules The core modules of this study programme consist of two studio practice subjects: fine arts and professional art practice, as well as a theory subject, visual culture studies. Fundamental modules See compulsory Academic Information Management (AIM) test on page 23. Elective modules The elective modules are a choice between a language, psychology, anthropology, philosophy or religion studies.

BA Information Design
Admission requirements and selection procedures

Information design is a career with unusual and challenging opportunities. The successful information designer (visual communications designer) is a professional, highly qualified person who plays a decisive strategic role in creating the contemporary visual environment. We live in a world in which we are surrounded by words and pictures, and it is the designers responsibility to provide original solutions to mass communication problems. A skilled designer has the ability to convey meaningful and powerful visual messages in a variety of media to many different people. The functions of visual communications design can be broadly defined in terms of the following four intentions: Establish visual identities for people, organisations or products. Visually inform, direct, explain, describe and educate. Persuade people to change their actions and behaviours. Create an entertaining, aesthetic or intriguing experience. Communications designers execute projects in three types of media: Print media: examples are books, magazines, brochures, posters, forms, stamps and billboards. Screen-based media: examples are television advertisements and title sequences, multimedia products such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, websites, broadcast graphics, information and service kiosks, computer games, and interactive applications for hand-held devices. 3D media: examples are exhibition stands, packaging and environmental signage.

One of my fondest memories of studying for a BA (Visual Studies) is the enthusiasm with which all lecturers presented his or her modules. I left every lecture feeling genuinely enriched and inspired. I extended my knowledge of the arts through assisting children with art lessons. Being able to work with these young, artistic minds has been an invaluable experience. My dream career remains fixed in the arts, particularly film and media. I am currently busy with multimedia studies and hope to combine my extensive background in art theory with technological skills.

This programme facilitates and fosters students interest, knowledge and skills in the performing arts. It provides them with opportunities to explore academic, artistic, creative and practical aspects of the discipline. Students are provided with opportunities to practise their craft by conceiving, directing and participating in a range of media, including theatre performances and performances for TV, film and radio. The study programme focuses on the main disciplines of performance studies, which include physical theatre, directing, performance, digital and new media studies and performing arts management, as well as developmental and educational theatre and drama. In addition to the above, students are required to study an additional subject offered by the Faculty of Humanities. The choice is open, but the chosen subject should complement and broaden their academic development. The study programme has five major focal points: Speech and Movement Studies includes both theoretical and practical components and prepares students for performance by developing their vocal, physical and interpretative skills. Students are introduced to the principles of movement, physical theatre, singing and voice building, and radio as a medium of communication. Theatre Studies (TNP and TNT) provides students with the opportunity to integrate their creative, conceptual and performance skills by conceiving, staging and performing theatre, film and TV work. TNP introduces students to the basic techniques of acting, improvisation, various approaches to acting and specialised techniques for stage and camera acting. TNT explores applied theatre technology,

BA General/Certificate in Sports Sciences
BA General
BA General
Since the study programme allows for two core disciplines, students have more than one option for postgraduate study. Therefore students have an alternative, should they not comply with the selection requirements for postgraduate study in a specific discipline. With good planning, students who complete the BA study programme have an equal chance of being selected for postgraduate studies in a particular subject as those who enrol for the more specialised study programmes. After completing the undergraduate study programme, students may also apply for an honours degree in Journalism.

The BA General is the basic programme in the Faculty and is chosen by more students than any other study programme. One reason for this is the adaptability of the study programme, which is particularly important for students who encounter a variety of disciplines with which they are not familiar. BA General provides an opportunity for students to explore a number of subjects at the start of their studies and to choose which of these subjects are the most appropriate for their interests and abilities as they proceed.
BA (Extended programme)
Study programme
The only compulsory (fundamental) modules at firstyear level are Academic Information Management (AIM) and academic literacy. For some of these modules, exemption tests may be written. Thus, students have an extraordinarily wide choice when compiling their BA study programme. They decide for themselves what their study focus will be (normally the two core subjects) and which supporting subjects will be included in the study programme. Refer to the subjects on page 6 of this brochure and the alphabetical list of modules in the Facultys Yearbook to be found at www.up.ac.za/ yearbooks. First year: Select any four disciplines and complete two semester modules (or four quarter modules) from each discipline plus one module of at least six credits. Second year: Select any three of the four disciplines completed at first-year level and complete two semester modules (or four quarter modules) from each. This choice need only be exercised at the beginning of the second year of study. Third year: Select any two of the three disciplines completed at second-year level and complete two semester modules (or four quarter modules) from each. Note that students need not decide on these two core disciplines at the beginning of their first year of study, but have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with disciplines that were not presented at school before deciding on a study focus for their final year (and possible postgraduate studies). With a view to postgraduate studies, students who choose psychology or sociology as core disciplines have to include research at second-year and third-year level in their BA study programme. Certain subjects from other faculties may be included in the BA study programme on the following conditions: Only two of the four first-year disciplines, one of the three second-year disciplines, and one of the two third-year disciplines may be taken from other faculties. Refer to the list of subjects on page 6 of this brochure. The admission requirements for these subjects should be checked in the yearbooks of the faculties concerned.
Certificate in Sports Sciences

The closing date for applications is 30 November. Selection is based on academic merit and sport achievement. Only 28 first-year students are admitted and preference is given to students that represented South Africa on the sporting field. As this certificate has a strong physical science component, it will be to the advantage of prospective students to have taken Life Sciences and Physical Science at National Senior Certificate (NSC) level.

This study programme provides students with an opportunity to change to the degree programme after one year. If more than 80% of the enrolled modules are passed, an application is made for Senate-discretionary exemption, upon which the student can change to BSportSci. The Certificate in Sports Sciences is presented as a fulltime intramural programme and is specifically designed for the professional sportsman or sportswoman who wishes to pursue sport as a career, but wants to obtain an academic qualification. The professional sportsman or sportswoman can also obtain the certificate over a longer period (maximum two years) through electing only a certain number of modules. Students specialise in one sport code for the duration of the study programme. Both natural and human science modules are included in the curriculum. Modules that fall under natural sciences are anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, training principles, programme design, equipment technology, sport diet and sport for the disabled. Modules that fall under human sciences are sport marketing, sport law, sport tourism, entrepreneurship, management of a golf business, introduction to golf coaching, financial management and sport management.

Bursaries, awards and loans (financial aid)

The University provides excellent financial support packages to prospective and registered students with academic potential and/or financial needs. Students who are interested in the support bursaries and loans administered by the University should submit an online application via www.up.ac.za/feesfunding or the UP Portal (Student Centre). Click on Finances. This is, however, not applicable to achievement awards and sports bursaries, as a different process is followed in this regard. The University of Pretoria administers support bursaries, National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) loans and achievement awards. Bursaries and awards are fully repayable, should students terminate their relevant study programmes for whatever reason at any stage during the year in which the award or bursary was awarded. Should students change their study programmes during the year in which the bursary or award was made, the value of the bursary or award, as initially awarded for the first study programme for which the student enrolled, will remain unchanged. The bursary or award will therefore not be cancelled or adjusted upwards or downwards to align it with consecutive study programmes enrolled for. Two main sources of funding are available for students with special needs and disabilities: National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Students need to meet the criteria as set out by NSFAS/ DHET, and apply online on the Universitys study finance application system at www.up.ac.za/feesfunding. Proof of the disability must be submitted. Other sources of funding may become available during the study year when external donors or institutions offer bursaries. These bursaries are then advertised on the Universitys website at www.up.ac.za/feesfunding under the section External bursaries. Please take note of a special offer to top academic achievers based on average percentages obtained in the end examination of the final school year. This special offer is only applicable to new first-year students who obtained 75% or more in the end examination of their final school year. For more information on the Universitys special offer to new first-year students, visit web.up.ac.za/info4applicants.
Life Orientation is excluded from the calculation of the APS.
Language policy and medium of instruction

In conducting its business, the University uses two official languages: English and Afrikaans. In formal education, the medium of instruction is either English or Afrikaans, or both of these languages provided that there is a demand and that it is academically and economically justifiable. However, it remains the students responsibility to ascertain on an annual basis in which language a module and any further level of that module is presented. In respect of administrative and other services, students have the right to choose whether the University should communicate with them in English or Afrikaans.
Academic Information Management (AIM)

Academic Information Management modules (AIM 101 or both AIM 111 and AIM 121), depending on your study programme, are compulsory for all new firstyear students. AIM 101 will be presented in the first or second semester, depending on your study programme. AIM 111 will be presented in the first semester and AIM 121 in the second semester. There are no exemption examinations available for AIM 101 or AIM 111 and AIM 121.
Students must register for the AIM modules. They will be invoiced for the full costs of the modules. However, students may write a competency test and, if they pass, their invoices will be adjusted to reflect only the examination fee of R130.
Academic literacy for first-year students

An inadequate level of academic literacy can impact negatively on a students chances of academic success. The University of Pretoria has processes in place to identify students who might need development. This is done by way of evaluating Grade 12 marks in English or Afrikaans or the results of the Academic Literacy Test. Full details will be communicated to all admitted students in the information brochure for the programme for registration and start of the academic year, which is distributed in November or December. If you are required to write the test, time will be scheduled in the programme. If your Grade 12 English or Afrikaans marks are to be used, the Facultys Student Administration Office will register you for the appropriate study programmes selected by your Faculty. Please note that the Academic Literacy Test does not replace the National Benchmark Test (NBT).
