How to use the FSET Prospectus
Students must note that the FSET Prospectus consist of six parts. This Prospectus is the
FSET Main Prospectus and contains material and information applicable to the whole faculty.
Each school has however its own School Prospectus, that contains detailed information and
specific requirements applicable to programmes that are offered by that school. Students must
therefore read the FSET Main Prospectus and School/programme prospectus together. The
FSET prospectuses should be read hand in hand with the WSU’s General Rules & Regulations,
which is an important and valuable source of information. Students are encouraged to contact
the Director of the School or the relevant HoD if they are not sure of a rule or an interpretation.
Disclaimer
Although the information contained in this Prospectus has been compiled as accurately as
possible, WSU accepts no responsibility for any errors or omissions. WSU reserves the right
to make any necessary alterations to this Prospectus as and when the need may arise. The
Prospectus is only applicable for the 2014 academic year. A new prospectus will be published
for the academic year 2015.
Offering of programmes and/or courses not guaranteed
Students should note that the offering of programmes and/or courses as described in this
Prospectus are not guaranteed but may be subject to change. The offering of programmes
and/or courses is dependent on viable student enrolment numbers being met (as determined
by HOD) and physical and human resources being available.

MESSAGE OF WELCOME FROM DEAN OF FACULTY
It is my pleasure to welcome all students to Walter Sisulu University in general and specifically
to the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology.
The aim of the faculty is for all students to complete their studies successfully within the
stipulated period, and to graduate with a qualification that meets their needs and those of
society including industry and commerce. It is also a passion of FSET to inculcate skills that
students will need in order to start their own businesses and establish themselves as service
providers to society including industry and commerce. This prospectus aims to provide new and
returning students with an understanding of the Faculty structure and the programmes offered
by the various Schools. It is the aim of the faculty through this prospectus to guide students
in the selection of the programmes they envisage to follow. However should students find it
difficult to select a course using the prospectus, they are encouraged to approach the Director
of the respective School for assistance.
While academic work should be the cornerstone of a student’s focus there are however many
other activities that students can engage in at university. During their spare time, students
are encouraged to participate in activities that are offered by the various student societies.
In addition, all student class representatives at the classes, Departments, Schools and the
Faculty are encouraged to take their roles very seriously, attend all the scheduled meetings
and participate in all the discussions for the benefit of the students they represent and for the
benefit of both the Faculty and Walter Sisulu University.
On behalf of all members of the Faculty staff I once again welcome all students. It is our hope
that you will find your studies within the Faculty a stimulating and rewarding experience in
2014.
4.INTRODUCTION
4.1. Faculty Campuses and Delivery Sites
The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology (FSET) operates at Buffalo
City (East London), Ibika (Butterworth) and Mthatha. The FSET has a student
population of approximately 5,500 and a staff component of approximately 400.
Plans to consolidate most of the FSET academic activities at a single location at
Potsdam in East London are already underway.
4.2. Merger of three Faculties from legacy institutions
The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology emerged from the merger of
the Faculties of Science Engineering and Technology from the former University of
Transkei, Border Technikon and the Eastern Cape Technikon.
4.3. Three Tier Governance Structure
The governance and leadership structure of the Faculty is a three tier structure
comprising the Executive Dean, the School Directors and the Heads of the
Departments. The Faculty has been stratified into five Schools: the School of
Applied and Environmental Sciences, the School of Engineering, School of
Computing, the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences and the
School of Technology. Each school is headed by an academic Director of School.
7
2014
PROSPECTUS
The Directors of Schools have the overall responsibility for the programs offered
by the Schools. The departments concentrate on the management of academic
courses and modules together with the learning, teaching and quality assurance
thereof.
4.4. Comprehensive Nature of the Faculty
In line with the shape of the university, the Faculty is a truly comprehensive
provider, with a program and qualification mix that consists of undergraduate
certificates, national diplomas, bachelors, honours, masters and doctors degrees,
providing a suitable wealth of qualifications along the vertical perspective of the
national qualifications framework. There are qualifications in the basic sciences
of physics, chemistry, botany, zoology and mathematics, the applied sciences,
pest management, chemical technology, statistics, applied mathematics,
environmental sciences, geography, computer science, information technology,
food and consumer sciences, fashion designing and fabric technology and fine
arts. There are also qualifications in the engineering sciences of construction
management and quantity surveying, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering.
These provide an additional wealth of qualifications suitable for the mission and
vision of Water Sisulu University along the horizontal perspective of the national
qualifications framework.
5.
FACULTY VISION & MISSION
5.1. Vision of the Faculty
The faculty will be a leading centre offering a suitable wealth of innovative
programmes to produce suitably trained human capital and engage such human
capital to create appropriate enterprises for sustainable development and
eradication of poverty.
5.2. Mission of the Faculty
In pursuit of its vision, the faculty will generate highly skilled graduates, innovative
new products and knowledge through courses, programmes, community and
research projects that are carefully designed for this purpose. The Faculty will
actively engage many of these and other graduates in innovation, utilizing
the envisaged WSU science and technology campus, commonly referred to
as the TechnoPark, to generate marketable new knowledge and products and
further incubate these to generate profitable SMMEs (Small, Micro and Medium
Enterprises). Such SMMEs will in time migrate to the private sector and continue to
grow creating many job opportunities and diffusing the new knowledge, products
and technologies into that arena.
In this way the faculty will gradually move away from the philosophy of focusing
on the generation of only highly skilled graduates that are released as job seekers
into the public and private sectors, towards the philosophy of generating small
and medium micro-enterprises, and these will migrate into the private sector as
job creators.
Concomitantly the faculty will also maintain a high level of research unit productivity
and therefore help to shift WSU from the traditional focus on the production of
MAIN FSET
8
highly skilled graduates to the proliferate production of new knowledge through
research units.
Of course the faculty will, as part of its commitment to the career needs of the
communities and industries that it serves, continue its tradition of producing
highly skilled graduates who will take up high level positions in the public and
private sectors.

FACULTY PROGRAMME RULES
7.1. General Entry Requirements
The Higher Education Act No 101 of 1997, amended in May 2008, stipulates the
following minimum entry requirements for university programmes as of January
2009:
a. Minimum Admission Requirements for Higher Certificate, Diploma & Bachelor’s
Degree Programmes require a National Senior Certificate.
b. Policy Considerations: Page 2 of the Government Gazette
c. This policy will be applicable to all higher education institutions with effect
from January 2009.
d. The policy outlines the statutory minimum admission to higher education at
the National Senior Certificate (NSC) level.
e. Though NSC (National Senior Certificate) is the primary gateway, it does not
guarantee admission to any Programme of study in higher education.
f. Within the context of this policy, WSU exercises its right as a higher education
institution to set up specific admission requirements.
A full list of recognized National Curriculum subjects is available on the
website: www.wsu.ac.za under Student Admissions.

Minimum admission requirements
7.2.1. Matric & NSC Requirements
School/Programme Prospectuses set out details of NSC and matric
requirements for each programme.
7.2.2. Admission Point Score
Applicants who have obtained an NSC qualification must meet the required
Admission Point Score (APS) score that is set for each programme.
NSC results are translated into points for each NSC subject. Results of
interviews and other assessments may also be taken into account in
determining the total APS or Admission Point Score.
Unless otherwise stated within a programme prospectus the Faculty of Science,
Engineering & Technology has, in terms of the New National Senior Certificate (NSC),
allocated a rating system according to levels as follows:

7.2.3. General rules and comments
a.
In keeping with Act 101 of 1997 for minimum requirements, revised in May 2008, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to Programmes in the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology.
b. Due to the large number of applications for a limited number of places, there is a competitive selection process.
c. SATAP tests are conducted for all applicants to the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology
d. The assessment by SATAP tests/ portfolio presentation (where applicable) is equally weighted with academic results in Matric or NSC.
e. Admission in terms of recognition of prior learning (RPL) is in accordance to Walter Sisulu University policy
f.
Transfer from other institutions will be considered on merit.
g. Under exceptional circumstances, the Dean may exercise his discretion.

PROSPECTUS
7.3. Admission from Other Degree and Diploma Programmes
Students with appropriate degrees will be considered for admission to postgraduate
programmes. A limited number of students with incomplete degrees will be
considered for admission to all graduate programmes.
7.4. Progression and Exclusion Rules
Students should take due note of the institutional rules G7-G11 as is appears in
the WSU 2014 General Prospectus on re-admission of students to undergraduate
programmes.
As provided for under the WSU 2014 General Prospectus rules (with specific
reference to G8.1, G8.2. G9.1 & G9.2) the respective School/Programme
Prospectuses set out minimum progression requirements for each programme in
FSET.
A student that progresses at a slower rate than that what is required for the
specific programme will be refused further re-admission on the grounds of “poor
academic performance”. Please consult the respective programme prospectus for
details.
Students who if registered would exceed the maximum duration of any programme
will not be permitted to register for that or any other programme and will therefore
be excluded from any programme on academic grounds.
7.5. Exit/Completion Rules
Students should note that the respective School/Programme Prospectuses set out
the detailed requirements that must be met for each programme in order to qualify
for the awarding of the certificate, diploma or degree. The following additional
requirements apply in general in addition to any programme requirements.
a. Students must pass all modules and/or courses and satisfy all other
requirements in order to qualify for the awarding of the certificate, diploma
or degree.
b. In addition to any other year level requirements, the minimum year level
credits of the programme must be achieved or exceeded for each year level.
c. In addition to any other year level requirements, the minimum credits of the
entire programme must be achieved or exceeded.
