The RPL programme at Unisa enables you to gain recognition and credit f what you already know and can do. You receive credit f what you have learned from your experience rather than from the experience itself. F example, if you have wked as a police official f ten years, you will have learned a vast number of skills, such as how to effect an arrest, how to write a statement, how to negotiate. If you have started up and run your own successful business, you will be experienced in budgeting, stocktaking and preparing proposals f clients. If you have done research and wri en research repts, you could request credits in the field of research. RPL may make it possible f you to earn credits towards a Unisa qualification, thereby shtening your study time and decreasing your study fees.

12 C h a p t e r 2 I1 Advice and Infmation How to compile a BA (see checklist at the end of this section) 1 The College of Human Sciences operates the modular system together with semester registrations and examinations. Some subjects may not be semesterising their study units. Students MUST consult the relevant subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar to determine whether the subject is being offered as a one year course/module as semester modules. Students MUST consult the Registration Infmation Brochure in connection with semester registrations BEFORE registration. NOTE THAT ANY REFERENCE TO COURSES I, II AND/ OR III INCLUDES THE EQUIVALENT IN MODULES The purpose of this section of the Calendar is to provide background infmation as to how to compile a curriculum f a general BA degree. If, a er having carefully read this part of the Calendar you still have problems in deciding on a course of studies doubts as to the interpretation of the rules, you are most welcome to write to the Registrar, if possible, to come and discuss the ma er in person with the staff of the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations (Tel ) one of the registration facilities. CHOICE OF MAJOR SUBJECTS The BA curriculum comprises 30 modules (10 modules on each of the first, second and third levels) including two maj subjects. At least half of your BA curriculum will be in your two maj subjects. It is therefe most imptant that you should select a combination of maj subjects that will satisfy your personal academic requirements and interests, and also be relevant to your present future career. Each BA curriculum must contain at least TWO MAJOR SUBJECTS (unless otherwise indicated) which fm an approved combination see Rules A6 and A7 f limitations on the choice of subjects from Group B, and a list of maj subjects that may NOT be combined. 2 If you are registering f the FIRST TIME at this University, you are referred to Number of study units per year in Calendar Part 1 f possible restrictions. TEACHERS and prospective teachers are referred to I2. BEFORE CHOOSING ANY MAJOR OR ANCILLARY SUBJECT, you should refer to the list of subjects concerned under Group A B under A5 (A9 if languages are chosen). You should also refer to the relevant subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar. If you wish to postpone the choice of your maj subjects until the second year, you are advised to restrict your first registration to a maximum of FOUR modules. EXAMPLE (1) Make sure that you have the necessary qualifications and prerequisites to register f your intended degree. (2) Make sure that your intended maj subjects crespond with your existing intended career, unless you are just studying the subjects f the sake of interest. (3) Refer to the relevant subject chapters and note the prescribed modules you will need on first, second and third level. (4) Now select modules from related subjects until you have filled your curriculum with ten modules on each level taking note of any prerequisites that may be required and should therefe be included in your curriculum. (5) Having now compiled your curriculum with two maj subjects, 30 modules and 10 modules on each level you need to spread your studies over 3, 4 5 years depending on the amount of time you are able to devote to your studies. (6) Wk out a study time table f a week. Calculate how many hours you have available f that week f study purposes. Divide the total by 8 and that indicates f how many modules you can register. If you cannot register f all 10 modules on firstyear level, it is recommended that you start with those subjects that you are going to leave a er the first year. In this way you can keep continuity with your majs and apply it a er graduation. I2 The BA Degree f teachers and prospective teachers NOTE THAT ANY REFERENCE TO COURSES I, II AND/ OR III INCLUDES THE EQUIVALENT IN MODULES 1 F purposes of categy recognition and employment, degree studies are nmally recognised by Education Departments only if the student has passed at least 15 modules in approved school subjects (see below). Note that many Education Departments do not grant recognition f degree courses in subjects in which the student specialized during his studies f a Teacher s Diploma. A teacher is therefe STRONGLY ADVISED to submit his/her proposed BA curriculum to his/her Education Department, to ascertain whether not his/her completed degree will be recognised. A prospective teacher who does not hold a Teacher s Diploma can consider completing the BA degree followed by the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), but should note that the University can give no assurance with regard to the availability of teaching posts. A teacher prospective teacher who wishes to register f the dinary BA degree, is strongly advised to select his/her two maj subjects from the APPROVED SCHOOL SUBJECTS listed below. If only one of the maj subjects is an approved school subject, he/she should make sure that the curriculum contains sufficient modules in approved school subjects to satisfy the requirements f admission to studies f the PGCE as set out below. APPROVED SCHOOL SUBJECTS Of the maj subjects that can be chosen at this University f the BA degree, those listed below are recognised as school subjects f the purpose of admission to studies f the PGCE. 2 Students who are registering f the FIRST TIME at this University are referred to A4 f possible restrictions.

These modules are post-matriculation degree modules which, owing to their particular nature, do NOT necessarily grant direct admission to second-level modules in the language(s) concerned. Students who passed PEN100 pri to 2000 will be allowed to register second-level modules in English. Credit f a degree is NOT granted f both Practical English and the Practical English (Syllabus B) that was offered pri to 1992 any ENN modules on first level Although all modules 101 offered at level 1 in the following feign languages: French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Ptuguese, Russian and Spanish are Beginner s modules, they fm part of the maj and carry a credit towards the degree. 2.

This includes examinations on O-level and A-level f the General Certificate in Education (GCE). 16

17 Students who have a good knowledge of a feign language but who have passed no fmal examinations in that language, must satisfy the Chair of the Department concerned that their knowledge of the language is adequate f the purpose of admission.
