South Africa STRUCTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM

Transcription

1 South Africa STRUCTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM Description: The higher education system consists of Public Universities, Universities of Technology, Comprehensive Universities (offering both University of Technology and University programmes) and a College sector. The Higher Education Act (December 1997) provides for the appointment of a Registrar of Private Higher Education Institutions and a number of private institutions have registered or are in the process of registering in terms of these provisions. The South African universities offer Bachelor s, Bachelor s Honours, Master s and Doctorate Degrees, as well as Undergraduate and Postgraduate Diplomas. Course work is structured in modules, with students registering in a unit/credit system. Universities and Universities of Technology, as autonomous institutions, are subsidized by the Department of Education, and provide training at the post senior certificate level. University of Technology courses lead to National Diplomas and Certificates and, as from 1995, to Degrees with a minimum duration of four years. The Higher Education Act stipulates that higher education at Universities, Universities of Technology and Colleges comes directly under the responsibility of the national government, whilst further education colleges report to the nine provincial governments. Stages of studies: University level first stage: First stage The Bachelor s degree is awarded by Universities, Comprehensive Universities and Universities of Technology. Universities and Comprehensive Universities award the Bachelor s degree after three to six years of study: Humanities, Commerce, Science - three years; Agriculture, Law, Engineering, Pharmacy and Education, four years; Veterinary Medicine and Architecture, five years; Dentistry, five-and-a-half years; Medicine and Theology, six years. Students in Humanities, Commerce and Science wishing to proceed to a Master s degree are required to take a Bachelor s (Honours) degree, which is awarded after a further year s study. Universities of Technology award the Bachelor s degree of Technology (BTech), which is a one-year degree following a diploma that includes one year of practical training. Universities also confer a Professional Bachelor s degree after four years. University level second stage: Second stage The Master s degree is awarded by Universities, Comprehensive Universities and Universities of Technology. This degree requires a minimum of one to two years research after the award of an Honours degree in the case of universities, and a Bachelor s degree in the case of Universities of Technology. The Master s degree in Technology (MTech) may be obtained at least one year after the BTech. This is an advanced qualification comprising taught subjects and research, or only research. The thesis must relate to an industry-specific problem. Some university Master s degrees, e.g. the Master s degree in Business Leadership (MBusAdministration), are partly taught and partly research degrees, where the thesis must relate to an industry or subject specific problem. University level third stage: Third stage Doctorates and research degrees are also awarded by Universities, Comprehensive Universities and Universities of Technology. They are conferred to holders of Master s degrees after a minimum of two years study. A Doctor in Technology (DTech) is awarded after successful completion of a thesis at Universities of Technology. This degree is research-based and studies last for at least two years. It comprises an advanced research project. Distance higher education: Distance teaching, which is mainly by correspondence, provides courses for about 35 per cent of enrolled students. The University of South Africa (UNISA) offers correspondence courses, either in English or in Afrikaans, for Bachelor s degrees and Postgraduate qualifications, provided such Bachelor s degrees include an in-service training component. Course work is structured in modules. A maximum of ten years is allowed to obtain a Bachelor s degree, an additional year for an Honours degree, three years for Postgraduate qualifications, two further years for a Master s degree and two years for a Doctorate. The degrees are considered to be equivalent in standard to those awarded by other Universities. 3325
