Degree study
•
Degree study develops the ability to work with ideas, to think in
terms of systems, to experiment and to communicate.
•
Study at a university and some programmes at private colleges lead
to a degree.
•
Some degree programmes are vocationally-oriented, but graduates
in most disciplines will require postgraduate professional or on-the-
job training to equip them for their future careers.
•
A growing focus on inter-disciplinary studies and programmes helps
students to develop the flexibility to respond to the challenges they
will face.
•
Teaching staff are actively involved in research; some are world
experts in their field.
•
Most degree programmes last three or more years. Institutions
may grant credits towards degrees for relevant courses passed
at other recognised institutions.
•
Instruction is theoretical and classroom or laboratory-based.
•
Students learn how to learn, and how to evaluate.
Postgraduate study
•
Postgraduate study is for applicants who have already studied at a
higher education institution and have a degree or a diploma.
Mr Xolani M. Mtembu
I am Xolani M. Mthembu. I am from Bonjeni District. I passed grade
12 last year at KwaGiba High School. Right now I am doing a Diploma
in Nature Conservation at Mangosuthu University of Technology.
As I am from a financial disadvantaged family, I will take this
opportunity as the golden opportunity in my lifetime achievement and
I will make sure that I won’t let you down. I will also encourage other
people to apply via CAO so that they can secure their space at a
tertiary institution.
Thanks CAO for what you have done for me.You have showed me
why I’m suppose to live in this beautiful world even although I don’t
have both parents.
Thank you very much CAO.
