9 POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES: GENERAL INFORMATION N.B. It is important that students know the General Rules of the University and the Faculty rules that apply to their studies. 1.1 General rules of the university The General Rules of the University that apply to all students and faculties are set out in the General Rules for First s, Postgraduate Diplomas, Bachelor Honours Degrees, Master s Degrees, Doctoral Degrees, Higher Doctoral Degrees, Honorary Degrees and Convocation. Copies are available from the Registrar on request or on the UFS website under About us > UFS Facts > Policy Documents. 1.2 Faculty rules Faculty rules that relate specifically to the degrees offered by the Faculty of the Humanities are in this book. 1.3 Degrees offered The three Exit levels of postgraduate qualifications offered by the Faculty of the Humanities are (1) Postgraduate Diplomas: Exit level 8 (2) Bachelor of Arts Honours (BAHons), Bachelor of Social Science Honours (BSocScHons): Exit level 8, (3) Master of Arts (MA), Master of Social Science (MSocSc), Exit level 9 and (4) Doctor of Philosophy (PhD): Exit level 10. The majority of the Post Graduate Programmes are still awaiting Higher Education Quality Committee and/or Department of Higher Education and Training approval for their alignment with the National s Sub Framework. Those that have already been fully approved and accredited are marked with a * behind their title. 1.4 General admission requirements to postgraduate courses As a general rule, students are admitted to postgraduate studies and to each higher level of postgraduate study only if they fulfil the university requirements for registration as set out in the General Rules for First s, Postgraduate Diplomas, Bachelor Honours Degrees, Master s Degrees, Doctoral Degrees, Higher Doctoral Degrees, Honorary Degrees and Convocation, have completed the preliminary degree with a mark of 60% or more, and are accepted to the course they wish to study by the applicable academic head of department. Some departments require a higher mark in the preliminary degree. 1.5 The BAHons and BSocScHons degrees Unless otherwise specified, the BAHons and BSocHons degrees are a one-year full-time or a two-year part-time study in a particular field. In general, the degrees require students to select and study courses for assessment by examination or exam equivalent assignment, and to research and write a short research report. The specific details of each course differ, and students must acquaint themselves carefully with the requirements of the course they choose. 1.6 The MA and MSocSc degrees Students generally have a choice between (1) a two-year structured MA or MSocSc and (2) a MA/MSocSc by dissertation. The two-year, full-time, structured MA/MSocSc requires students to select and study courses for assessment by examination or exam equivalent assignment and to research and write a mini-dissertation. The MA/MSocSc by dissertation requires students to write a substantial research dissertation on a topic agreed upon with the academic head of department or a supervisor he/she appoints. In certain courses, a number of related publishable manuscripts or published articles in an accredited academic journal are accepted instead of a dissertation. As the specific requirements of courses differ, students must acquaint themselves carefully with the requirements of the course they choose. 1.7 The PhD degree Unless otherwise specified, a doctorate is awarded to a MA/MSocSc graduate who writes a research thesis of noteworthy substance. In certain courses, a body of related publishable manuscripts or articles published in accredited journals is accepted instead of a thesis. Students must acquaint themselves with the specific requirements of their course. Faculty of the Humanities Postgraduate Rule Book
