6 59 Career Areas PLANNING A CURRICULUM AND CAREER DIRECTION These are some of the areas of study you may like to consider f your BA. AFRICAN LANGUAGES/LANGUAGE ACQUISITION Interesting courses have been introduced in IsiZulu and Sotho f students who are not first language speakers. The courses aim to familiarise students with speaking, reading, writing and hearing either IsiZulu Sesotho at the elementary level. These courses focus on grammatical structures of various literary genres and socio-cultural context. This is done through texts from various literary genres. AFRICAN LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS These courses are designed f students with, at least, a knowledge of one official indigenous language of South Africa and examine the histical facts that gave rise to the languages spoken in South Africa today. Other courses look at all the linguistic aspects of these languages, especially, the Sotho and Nguni languages. A comparison of the mpho-phonological structure of these official indigenous languages is also expled. Finally, students are also introduced to Computational Linguistics, which foccuses on the development of technological tools f these resource-scarce languages. AFRICAN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE African languages are becoming increasingly imptant in a post-apartheid context because of the official status they have been accded. Courses therefe comprise language acquisition components f non-mother tongue speakers and linguistic, literature components designed f mother tongue speakers and African Languages Media. Through the study of these courses students acquire receptive and language reproduction skills as well as analytical and interpretive skills. ARCHAEOLOGY DRAMA AND FILM ECONOMICS Archaeology is the study of human histy through material remains such as stone tools, food residue, rock art, pottery and settlement plans. First - year students study the biological evolution of man, man s past as a hunter - gatherer and the igins of farming and urbanisation. Courses deal with the histy and changing fms of film, television and theatre. Lectures are illustrated with dramatic perfmances, television screenings and the projection of films. This covers the functioning of economic systems, the determination of income and development, international trade and payment mechanisms. Matric Maths is required. FRENCH AND FRANCOPHONE STUDIES GEOGRAPHY GERMAN Courses introduce the language in its spoken and written fms and give a critical appreciation of aspects of French and Francophone Studies literature, thought, histy and civilisation. French is a wld language which is also spoken in me than 20 African countries. Increasing competition and the development of a global economy means that taking a French maj is me attractive than ever. Courses which combine well with French are amongst others: Political Science, International Relations, Journalism and Media studies, other languages, the Arts in general and Business studies. The course includes physical geography, human geography and regional geography. Courses introduce the language in its spoken and written fms and give a critical appreciation of aspects of German literature, thought, histy and culture. Germany is one of South Africa s most imptant trading partners and there is extensive economic, scientific and cultural co - operation between the two countries. German is the most spoken language in the European Union (Germany, Austria and Switzerland, including minity status in many other countries). German - speaking companies employ many South African graduates as do NGO s. Tourism also presents interesting career opptunties as well as the diplomatic service and other government departments. German has special minity status in the South African Constitution. German combines well with all other subjects offered by the Humanities and is particularly recommended f Psychology, Philosophy and the Social Sciences. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ITALIAN LAW The study of international relations contributes to societies overall understanding of why states do such things as go to war, why they trade with each other why they care when human rights are being abused elsewhere. You, as budding international relations scholars and experts, are here to gain an understanding of the key events and tools that are used to unpack and figure out why states, international ganisations, even individuals, behave the way they do. International Relations is traditionally a multidisciplinary field with igins in histy, economics, political science, sociology and law. Our first year courses will introduce you and provide you with a fundamental understanding of this exciting and crucial area of study. Courses introduce the language in its spoken and written fms and give a critical appreciation of aspects of Italian literature, thought, histy and culture. It is useful f students planning careers in music, fine arts, design, architecture, linguistics, translation, interpreting and international relations. Italy is a wld leader in the culinary arts, interi design, fashion and furniture design. Students entering any of these fields would benefit greatly from knowing Italian. Lastly, the tourism industry is and always has been a thriving business with many Italians visiting South Africa and large parties going to Italy f recreation, spt and business purposes. All societies are governed by some fm of law. We need to know the nature of our legal system and how it confms with mality.

The key assumption that sociologists make is that human behaviour is shaped by the social context in which people find themselves. As such Sociology helps us to see how families, ganisations, communities, cultural practices and broader political, economic and social processes impact on the ways in which people act and think about the wld. Sociology s scope is vast, examining areas as diverse as health disease, development, land refm, crime, culture, states, government, media, identity, gender, race and class, amongst many others.

8 61 MUSIC PHILOSOPHY POLITICAL STUDIES PORTUGUESE Music in Histy and Society: Music is a universal phenomenon but not a universal language. Music is studied in its histical, cultural and social contexts focusing on Western classical music, popular music and Jazz music. To study the maj subject, a knowledge of the they of music is essential, individual Music in Histy and Society course do require music they knowledge. Philosophy is the search f rationally justified answers to fundamental questions about human beings and the wld in which they live. Philosophical questions range from abstract matters such as whether religious belief is rationally defensible, whether human beings have free will, whether abtion is mally permissible, whether an ethic of Ubuntu is compatible with the death penalty. Studying philosophy is beneficial f at least two reasons. Firstly, philosophy requires and develops skills of reflection that deepen personal understanding and promote autonomy. In essence this means that studying philosophy will enable you to think f yourself, rather than passively absbing the beliefs and values of contempary culture. Secondly, since philosophical investigation is rational investigation and since the nature of rational investigation is itself a philosophical question, philosophers spend a lot of time articulating and explaining just how to go about thinking crectly, and devising practical methods of logical analysis, argument construction, and evaluation. Philosophy is then an extremely practical subject because every academic discipline requires expertise in clear and careful thinking and studying philosophy will make you a clearer and me careful thinker. The study of politics is concerned with the relations of power in society. Whenever people come into conflict, compete co-operate over matters of money, position, influence status they may be said to be acting politically. Politics has no scientific fmulae labaties. There are usually several answers to each of the questions we ask. In politics there are many competing analytical models, each of which has its own concepts terminology and each of which tends to raise its own questions. The study of politics can sometimes be a preparation f a career in public affairs: fmer students of the department include, Winnie Madikizela- Mandela, Tony Leon, Valli Moosa and Judge Richard Goldstone. A degree in political studies opens up opptunities to wk in non-governmental ganisations, the public sect, private business, diplomacy, international ganisations, survey research ganisations, development bodies and the news media. Ptuguese studies offer courses f total beginners as well as f those with some pri knowledge of the language. Our method combines a communicative approach based on conversation skills and facilitated by multimedia tools. This course can be taken as a maj. Courses introduce the language in its spoken and written fms and give a critical appreciation of aspects of Ptuguese literature, thought, histy and culture. Ptuguese has a significant role in Africa, since it s the official language of PALOP (Ptuguesespeaking african countries), but also in Brazil and East Tim. It s spoken in Macao and some parts of India, too. Courses which combine well with Ptuguese are amongst others: International Relations, Political Sciences, Media Studies and other languages. PSYCHOLOGY SOUTH AFRICAN SIGN LANGUAGE SPANISH Psychology is the study of human experience and behaviour and the ways in which individuals relate to each other and their environment. Psychology offers a rich and diverse knowledge base concerning human functioning in all its facets and is relevant to almost every aspect of people s lives. As society has become me complex Psychology has come to play an increasingly imptant role in understanding human behaviour and in shaping interventions to ensure optimal functioning of individuals, group and communities.
