Programmes offered per department
B.A. (with a Dual Major Option)
All students from 2008 on should check the new Section in the next part of the Prospectus.
The general Formative BA as part of a special Dual Major package
Please note that this degree now caters for students who wish to keep their options open regarding
future careers. Rather than simply specialise in one subject area, students are encouraged to take
the general BA as a dual major option. What this means is that students will be able to qualify
both for a career in teaching and for a career in another profession. Teaching majors are
limited to English and History, but the following can also be taken up to second year level as
teaching subjects: Afrikaans, German, Tourism and isiZulu (though conditions apply in the case of
Tourism and isiZulu—please make sure that you understand these conditions). Second profession
subjects are: Psychology, Library Science, Sociology, Communication Science and Philosophy. For
example, then, you might consider becoming an English teacher who is also trained in
Communication Science. Thus, if you decide that in the end teaching is not for you, you will be able
to search for work as, say, a communication facilitator in a business. Another example might be for
you to major in History and Tourism, and then you might end up either teaching History or making
good use of what you learned in History in the field of Tourism, as an expert on local historical sites.
Conditions:
1. You cannot choose more than 24 underlined courses in the grids which follow.
2. You must include at least 4 English modules.
3. Majors in a specific subject must be made up of 16 modules per major.
4. Would-be teachers need a second teaching subject up to year 2 level (8 modules).
5. Would-be teachers need to do a PGCE in the Education Faculty once they have completed this
degree.
Formative B.A. (with a Dual Major option)(qualification code ABDEG1)
This is a 3 year qualification comprising 48 modules. Lists of electives which also include the
names of the modules follow the grids below (see page 31).
Please read carefully this information regarding your options in the degree:
Option One: Dual Major with one major being a teaching subject, the other major leading to a
different career. Please make sure that you choose 16 modules for your teaching subject (English
or History). You should also choose 16 modules for your second major. These should be chosen
from those subjects that are in italics and are underlined. For each major you need 4 first year
modules, 4 second year modules and 8 third year modules. Your majors will thus give you a total of
32 modules. You need to choose another 16. If your teaching major is not English, you will
need to incorporate 4 English modules in your list, as this is a requirement for the degree.
You should also take another teaching subject up to second year level (8 modules). The remainder
of your degree you can fill up as you see fit. The following limitation applies: you may not do
more than 24 of the underlined modules.
Option Two: Single major. Specialise in one subject in which you are interested. You will need to
do 16 modules of this subject, the other choices being up to you, though you must bear in mind that
most modules need to be followed in sequence. Please also note the language provision pointed
30
out above, and the condition applying to the underlined modules. It is possible to teach on the basis
of one teaching major provided you do another teaching subject up to second year level.
Option Three: Two teaching subjects as majors. You might want to specialise in two teaching
subjects, say History and isiZulu, up to third year, thus you will need to do 16 of each, filling up the
rest of your degree in a manner consistent with the limitations listed above.

Centre For Arts And Culture
B.A.( 3 year degree) with various modules within
Drama, theatre and various art fields.
Entrance requirements:
Matriculation exemption endorsement or conditional exemption or equivalent.
Description of the programme
The programme is designed to equip the student for the exciting world of arts (World Ethnography,
Kinetic Technique, Drama, Stage Design, Theatre, etc.). It is to train students as practitioners and
researchers in the field of arts, culture and heritage. On completion a student will also be an eligible
employee in the arts, culture and heritage industry or be prepared to become an entrepreneur for
the arts.
These courses unearth the educative potential that the arts, culture and heritage have, in
development and change while remaining entertaining. In these courses, strong emphasis is placed
on performance, research and educational skills. Throughout the training, skills are harnessed and
intensified to equip the student with expertise to work in multicultural environments and develop
communities.
Employment opportunities, e.g. teaching profession, research, performer, director, choreographer,
composer, conductor, arts manager, producer, adjudicator, TV, film, radio, Department of Arts,
Culture and Heritage, museums, recording studios, arts critic, journalism, librarian, sound and
lighting engineering, NGO’s and CBO’s.
Departmental Policy
Attendance
All students are expected to attend all practical classes for the respective modules in order to qualify
for examinations.
Students are required to attend any extra practical classes or rehearsals scheduled by lecturer,
even though it falls outside the normal time table.
If the attendance register, in any of the above, does not show attendance for at least 80%, the
students will not be allowed to present work to the examiners.
39
Students are required to be punctual at all practicals, rehearsals and performances. A grace period
of five minutes will be tolerated. Any student who arrives late will be excluded from the class, and
marked absent, and will therefore be subjected to disciplinary action.
Only learners who produce medical certificates are excused from attending practical classes. In
case of a death in the family, the student must present proof.
The staff will record a schedule of students’ tasks, thus allowing the staff to monitor the learner’s
development.
Productions and rehearsals
All students are required to participate in concerts and productions. This includes choir, lunch hour
concerts projects. This is in addition to the year-group production for examination purposes.
Students who fail to comply will not meet the requirements for promotion to the next academic level.
Attendance at all rehearsals is compulsory. Failure to attend will mean expulsion from the
production. This will have a negative effect on the mark average.
Students are under no circumstances allowed to miss any performance, whether they are
performing or involved in a backstage capacity. Students who are not present at a performance will
be subjected to disciplinary action which might result in exclusion from the course.
Students who receive monies for their productions are accountable for that money. Students failing
to prove how they spent the departmental grant entrusted on them will have that amount debited
from their accounts.
Dress
Students are required to be appropriately dressed for practical classes and rehearsals. The
preferred clothing is T-shirts and tracksuits or leotards and tights. Students should be able to move
freely in their clothes. The student should also wear clothes that may get dirty. A lot of the practical
work takes place on the floor. Dresses, skirts, jeans and slacks are not acceptable apparel. All
students are to dress for action not for fashion. Students who are not correctly dressed will be
excluded from the class and marked absent. Failing to comply will render the student to be
disciplined.
Assignments
All assignments must be submitted on the due date. Late assignments will lose five (5%) per day
that they are late.
Application for extension should be completed in writing at least a day before the due date.
In the case of sickness a medical certificate must be produced. In the case of a death in the family
the student must present proof.
NB: Electives can be chosen in any programme as long as they dovetail with the main programme.

B.A. in Development Studies
Development Studies is a field of study that focuses on the problems of development. It arose out of
a need to gain a better understanding of, and offer possible solutions to, a wide range of social,
economic and development challenges facing underdeveloped communities. A knowledge of
Development Studies is indispensable to officers in government departments responsible for the
delivery of basic needs to communities. Graduates may be employed by NGOs, welfare
organizations, Regional Councils and Municipalities, who all need people with a thorough
understanding of development to function effectively.

Department of English
We contribute modules to a number of programmes and we offer our own degree within the Dual
Major BA for students who wish to specialise. Basic academic reading and writing skills are needed
by all students at the University, and so we teach modules at first-year level which aim to develop
these skills. These modules are used by many programmes in Commerce, Law and Science to
enable students to improve their communicative abilities. If you are interested in teaching English
but also want to have other career opportunities open to you then the following degree is for you:
63
 the general BA with English as a major (See the general BA on page 30)
This degree requires you to do 8 semester modules of English (which conform with FET curricula in
high schools), but leaves you free to choose another major. After completing the degree you should
be able to communicate well in English in one-to-one and group situations; read with clear
understanding; write effectively; solve problems; analyse, criticise and create texts; and generally
interact appropriately in English. You will also acquire a thorough knowledge of the general field of
English literature and language, and develop a critical awareness of the status and power of English
as a language-culture system which shapes our identities and our relationships with each other and
our environments.

Honours Course in History
(five three-hour papers, plus a research report)
Remarks
1.
Admission to the Honours course is normally limited to a minimum pass of 60% for the thirdyear qualifying courses in History. See General and Faculty rules.
For a student who has less than 60% aggregate at third-year level, there is a possibility in
exceptional circumstances that the Faculty Board of Arts may admit such a student to the
Honours course in History if the Head of Department has sufficient evidence to motivate the
application.

is required, but students are also expected to be able to communicate and study in the
other official languages.
3.
Students must have a basic competency in computer literacy.
4.
Papers 1 and 2 are compulsory. Candidates must select three additional papers from the
other choices. All options are not necessarily taught each year, and the Head of the


Goals of the curriculum
Consistent with the University of Zululand Mission Statement of providing community
service, research, teaching and general academic excellence, the goals of this curriculum
are:

Professional Board for Psychology and along international standards.
To introduce students to the philosophical bases of different theoretical
frameworks/models of applied psychology.
To enable students to acquire various knowledge, gain exposure, experience,
expertise, skills and competence required for practicing as psychologist.
To develop students towards acquiring an integrated personal conceptual
framework and becoming autonomous practitioners capable of making informed
decisions with regard to professional psychological practice.
To expose students towards a wide culturally diverse spectrum of clients, couples,
families, groups and communities to develop relevant practical experience.
To produce evidence based, scientist-practitioner psychologists based on the
following learning outcomes, skills and competencies.

Learning outcome
The essential learning outcome is the production of qualified and competent professional
psychologists owing to shortage of psychologists, underdevelopment of psychological
services and the great need therefore in South Africa generally. This course will assist in the
prevention of social and community problems and the promotion of health, education,
development and well being. Critical outcomes for this professional training include the
following:
-
Critical outcomes
-
Academic quality as required by SAQA and NQF educational standards. Besides
the stringent and rigorous course requirements as set out in this document, the
evidence based scientist practitioner model of professional psychology requires
various academic and research skills.
94

-
Personal integrity includes the social and emotional responsibility, maturity and
flexibility required by the demands of professional psychological practice in multiprofessional, multidisciplinary and general community contexts.
-
Generalist/specialist practitioner who is able to provide both general psychological
services as well as specialist services in an area of sufficient exposure, experience
and expertise. Students must satisfy both dual related critical outcomes during the
course of their training.
-
Professional knowledge as required by the HPCSA for autonomous, independent
practicing psychologists. This also includes a critical and innovative approach
towards this practice, ethical standards, and taking responsibility for personal and
professional continuing development and education.
-
Community services. Critical outcomes are graduates with assessment,
intervention, social pathology, organization, research and other skills especially
appropriate for the culturally diverse, South African community.
Skills and competencies
The professional training and critical outcomes require the following five broad skill
categories and their concomitant competencies
-
Assessment skills. These require competencies in interviewing, describing,
identifying, understanding, interpreting, classifying, assessing, evaluating,
diagnosing, reporting, explaining and predicting human cultural and social
psychological phenomena.
-
Interventionist skills. These require competencies in caring, helping, advising,
guiding, teaching, intervening, counselling, psychotherapy, prevention, promotion
and healing at developmental, individual, couple, family, group, community and
general social level.
-
Social psychopathologist skills. These require knowledge in various forms of
individual and social psychopathology and competence with regard to specific
clinical, neuropsychological, psychopharmacological and other forms of intervention
and problem solving.
-
Organizational skills. These require competencies in administration, management of
professional responsibilities as well as community work e.g. advocacy, mediation,
networking, consultation, leadership, multi-professional and general community
collaboration.
-
Research skills. These require evidence based practice competencies with special
reference to collecting and analyzing psychological data as well as specific
competencies in conceptualization of models, theoretical frameworks, research
methods and techniques.
95

Internship
This refers to the twelve month internship supervised by a registered senior psychologist at
an HPCSA accredited institution. Students may choose various internships. As a general
rule, a minimum of six months should be spent in a general practice or university setting, a

will be approved only subject to the record of unsatisfactory progress or on medical
grounds.


students acquaint themselves with the ethical standards of practice to which they must
adhere.

Department of Sociology
There are two streams in the Department: (a) Sociology and (b) Industrial Sociology.
Sociology is concerned with the way we live in the world, along with other people.Several aspects of
human behaviour are studied within the context of political transformation and globalization by
creating an understanding of society in a changing world. Sociology encourages critical thinking and
urges one to challenge existing ideas.
A general overview of Industrial Sociology is presented in introductory sociology at a first year level,
and specific modules in this field are dealt with at second and third year levels.This is particularly
relevant for students who are interested in labor relations, human resource management training
and development.

Department of Afrikaans
Afrikaans is an important language of communication on all levels of South African society.
Knowledge of Afrikaans is a valuable asset in careers such as teaching, journalism, translating,
publishing, tourism, public relations, consultancy, law and diplomacy.
Afrikaans Modules
Although the Afrikaans Department does not offer an independent programme at undergraduate
level, Afrikaans can be taken both as an ancillary and major subject within the Dual Major BA
Degree. Afrikaans is also offered as an elective in Correctional Studies and Heritage Studies. In the
modules offered in Year 1 we focus on acquisition and basic communication skills, while at the
same time we do enrichment work with students who want to continue with the more advanced
studies of Afrikaans grammar and literature in years 2 and 3. The first year course is thus a
Beginners Course, suitable to those interested in improving competence in Afrikaans (if you have,
for instance taken the language as a school subject) as well as for people who never studied
Afrikaans and need to start from the beginning.
Rules
1. General rules for the Faculty of Arts apply.
2. No prior knowledge of Afrikaans is required to register for the first year course.

Description of the programme
The programme is designed to equip the student for the exciting world of arts (World Ethnography,
Kinetic Technique, Drama, Stage Design, Theatre, etc.). It is to train students as practitioners and
researchers in the field of arts, culture and heritage. On completion a student will also be an eligible
employee in the arts, culture and heritage industry or be prepared to become an entrepreneur for
the arts.
These courses unearth the educative potential that the arts, culture and heritage have, in
development and change while remaining entertaining. In these courses, strong emphasis is placed
on performance, research and educational skills. Throughout the training, skills are harnessed and
intensified to equip the student with expertise to work in multicultural environments and develop
communities.
Employment opportunities, e.g. teaching profession, research, performer, director, choreographer,
composer, conductor, arts manager, producer, adjudicator, TV, film, radio, Department of Arts,
Culture and Heritage, museums, recording studios, arts critic, journalism, librarian, sound and
lighting engineering, NGO’s and CBO’s.
Departmental Policy
General rules of the Faculty of Arts apply.
All students are expected to attend all practical classes for the respective modules in order to qualify
for examinations.
Students are required to attend any extra practical classes, rehearsals and performances
scheduled by lecturer, even though it falls outside the normal time table.
If the attendance register, in any of the above, does not show attendance for at least 80%, the
students will not be allowed to present work to the examiners.
Students are required to be punctual at all practicals, rehearsals and performances. A grace period
of five minutes will be tolerated. Any student who arrives late will be excluded from the class, and
marked absent, and will therefore be subjected to disciplinary action.
Only learners who produce medical certificates are excused from attending practical classes. In
case of a death in the family, the student must present proof.
The staff will record a schedule of students’ tasks, thus allowing the staff to monitor the learner’s
development.
127
Productions and rehearsals
All students are required to participate in concerts and productions. This includes choir, lunch hour
concerts projects. This is in addition to the year-group production for examination purposes.
Students who fail to comply will not meet the requirements for promotion to the next academic level.
Attendance at all rehearsals is compulsory. Failure to attend will mean expulsion from the
production. This will have a negative effect on the mark average.
Students are under no circumstances allowed to miss any performance, whether they are
performing or involved in a backstage capacity. Students who are not present at a performance will
be subjected to disciplinary action which might result in exclusion from the course.
Students who receive monies for their productions are accountable for that money. Students failing
to prove how they spent the departmental grant entrusted on them will have that amount debited
from their accounts.
Dress
Students are required to be appropriately dressed for practical classes and rehearsals. Failing to
comply will render the student to be disciplined.
Theory and Practical Assessment
Tests, Essays, Assignments, Portfolios, Presentations, Exhibitions, Performances, Research
projects and Examinations.
Assignments
All assignments must be submitted on the due date. Late assignments will lose five (5%) per day
that they are late.
Application for extension should be completed in writing at least a day before the due date.

B. A. In Development Studies Degree (ADDEG1)
Degree Description
Development Studies is a field of study that deals with the multidimensional nature of the
development process which involves the reorganization and reorientation of the entire
economic and social systems. This field of study emerged out of a need to gain a better
understanding, and indeed offer possible solutions, to a wide range of social, economic, and
institutional challenges facing the developing communities.
South Africa is a developing country. Many of its people live in poverty. Development Studies
offers students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the development problems
facing Third World countries in general and South Africa in particular, thus enabling them to
contribute meaningfully towards their resolution by applying knowledge of development
techniques.
Degree Specific Structure
1. This degree programme is interdisciplinary in nature and it draws modules from the
Departments of Geography and Environmental Studies, Public Administration,
Computer Studies, English and Business Management.
2. The degree is informed by current theory in the development discourse and it is very
relevant to the development industry and market.
3. Graduates of this programme can access employment opportunities in all the levels of
government, that is, local, provincial and national in the departments of Housing, Urban
and Regional Planning, and Economic Development. Graduates of this degree can
also work for NGO sector, or in the private sector particularly in the Corporate Social
Responsibility area, or alternatively they can work as consultants, or as researchers.

Undergraduate Anthropology Programme 2009
Description
Anthropology provides practical training in analysis and methods of discovery that are useful in
any activity that demands insight, research, and communication. Contrary to the outdated
image of Anthropology as the study of antiquarian "customs", the methods of anthropology are
ideal for comprehending both past and present situations of social upheaval and
transformation, such as those associated with industrial labour and labour migration,
urbanization, political conflict and democratisation, and the necessity of strangers to live
productively and peaceably with one another.

Module Description
This module introduces the students to the broad
fields of Anthropology-Cultural, Political,
Economic, Medical Anthropology and to give
them a basic understanding of anthropological
methods as a social science.
Culture and Society in Africa provides students
from all faculties with background knowledge
about the continent on which they live. The
module includes an examination of the concepts
of culture, race, society, ethnicity and nationstate, a perspective on African worldviews and
ways of thought, and a consideration of the role
of Africa in a changing world.
The module introduces students to medical
anthropology. It focuses on the social and
cultural aspects of health and illness.
The module is a comparative cross-cultural
aspect of domestic life and kinship with
reference to South Africa. It considers the origins
of human family, the purpose of marriage, power
and authority in households.
This third year module is designed to highlight
the applied side of the disciple. The module
offers unparalleled insights into pressing social
problems, whether these be related to
marginalised ”third” and “fourth” world
populations of gangsterism and homelessness in
the urban ghetto. The module also explores
other fields of development such as health carer,
tourism, corporate culture, intercultural relations
and socio-cultural impact assessment.
This module is designed to familiarize students
with the major theoretical frameworks and
methodologies required to undertake
anthropological research, specifically
ethnographic study. In addition, Students will
design, develop and pursue original research
that is commensurate with the abilities of a third
year student.
143
AANT321
Anthropology of Media
AANT322
The Development of
Anthropological
Thought
The course introduces the media as an arena for
anthropological work on the relationships among
culture, power, and society. Our lives are
"saturated" by images and new communications
technologies, but so too are the media saturated
with social practices open to anthropological
investigation. In this course, we will emphasize
how the idea of reality has framed
representations of cultural difference in
documentary and mass media. Students will use
anthropological concepts to analyze uses of
technological media around the globe in order to
better understand how cultures are both
empowered and excluded through media.
This course is designed to acquaint the students
with a number of different approaches to the
subject matter of anthropology, whether this is a
study of mankind in context or the study of
philosophy with the people left in. The focus is
on how theorists of anthropology search for
regularities, human universals or structures that
could be said to determine or shape the human
response to the environment and to each other
as human beings in society. The module is
organised historically, examining schools of
anthropological thought from the nineteenth
century to the present.
144
Dual Major B.A. (qualification code ABDEG1)
The great merit of this degree is its versatility. Everyone who graduates with a Dual Major BA
will automatically be qualified for more than one career. The first career options will depend on
the nature of the two major subjects chosen. A student who chooses two language modules
will be qualified for a career as a translator, writer, publisher, editor or language practitioner.
Communication science will prepare a person to go into public relations, journalism or
advertising. History will open up the field of heritage, encouraging careers such as museum
curator, archivist and historian. Selections in psychology, philosophy, sociology, tourism and
library and information science will allow entry into these subjects’ own specialized fields.
Moreover, since the rules of choice require that students enrolled in the Dual Major BA take at
least two teaching subjects to at least second-year level, all graduates of this programme have
the opportunity of pursuing a career in teaching. (They should take a one-year PGCE diploma
in an education faculty to become fully-qualified as teachers.) And, of course, any combination
of majors in this degree can lead to an academic career for a student who achieves the
requisite marks to progress to an Honours degree and then from Honours to the Masters and
doctoral degrees.
Conditions:
1. To be accepted into the programme, you should have obtained the Minimum National Senior
Certificate Admission Requirements for a Bachelor’s Degree Programme and at least between
40 and 49% in English as a second language (Higher Grade).
2. From the lists below, you need to choose two major subjects and a minor subject. At least
two out of these three subjects must be teaching subjects. You will progress in all three of
these subjects from first year to second year (two modules per year per subject at each level).
You will then progress in your two major subjects to third year, at which level you will take four

PURPOSE OF THE MODULE
This module will develop students’ basic skills in reading and writing in academic contexts. The
material to be used will be carefully adapted to the programmes in which the students are
registered. As far as possible, they will be placed in groups specific to their programmes. The
module will introduce students to basic concepts of text and of readers, and encourage them to be
aware of themselves as readers. It will require them to write coherent and properly structured
paragraphs. It will offer graduated exercises in reading and writing to develop skills in summary,
inference, generalisation, argument and interpretation. The module will also focus on a working
grammar, that is, the system by which words of different word classes combine and function in
their various forms into phrases, clauses, and sentences that make up larger compositions:
paragraphs and essays.

students of the University of Zululand have received scholarships in the past through the German
Department to attend Courses in Germany.

Department of Sociology
Faculty of Arts
Department of Sociology
B.A in Sociology and Industrial Sociology (ASDEG1 and ASDEG2)
Description:
Sociology offers two stream programmes i.e. Sociology and Industrial Sociology.
Sociology is concerned with the way we live in the world, along with people and other species.
Aspects of human social behavior are studied within the political, economic, social, cultural and
religious context as they influence and affect the societal change at micro and macro structural
levels. Sociology encourages critical and independent thinking and urges students to critique
existing theoretical frameworks.
A general overview of Industrial Sociology is presented in introductory sociology at first year level,
and specific modules in this field are dealt with at second and third levels. This is particularly
relevant for students who are interested in labor relations, human resource management, training
and development.
Rules:
1. General rules of the Faculty apply.
2. Students major either in Sociology or Industrial Sociology.
