Recognition of prior learning

(RPL)

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the recognition by Unisa of prior learning which has occurred in the life of the candidate.

 The RPL programme at Unisa enables you to gain recognition and credit for what you already know and can do.

 You receive credit for what you have learned from your experience rather than from the experience itself. For example, if you have worked as a police official for ten years, you will have learned a vast number of skills, such as how to effect an arrest, how to write a statement, how to negotiate. If you have started up and run your own successful business, you will be experienced in budgeting, stocktaking and preparing proposals for clients. If you have done research and wri�en research reports, you could request credits in the field of research.

RPL may make it possible for you to earn credits towards a Unisa qualiﬁcation, thereby shortening your study time and decreasing your study fees.

Advice and Information

I1

How to compile a BA

Curriculum

(see checklist at the end of this section)

NB 1

 The College of Human Sciences operates the modular system together with semester registrations and examinations.

 Some subjects may not be semesterising their study units.

 Students MUST consult the relevant subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar to determine whether the subject is being oﬀered as a one year course/module or as semester modules.

 Students MUST consult the Registration Information Brochure in connection with semester registrations BEFORE registration.

NOTE THAT ANY REFERENCE TO COURSES I, II AND/ OR III INCLUDES THE EQUIVALENT IN MODULES

The purpose of this section of the Calendar is to provide background information as to how to compile a curriculum for a general BA degree. If, a�er having carefully read this part of the Calendar you still have problems in deciding on a course of studies or doubts as to the interpretation of the rules, you are most welcome to write to the Registrar or, if possible, to come and discuss the ma�er in person with the staﬀ of the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations (Tel 0861 670 411) or one of the registration facilities.

CHOICE OF MAJOR SUBJECTS

The BA curriculum comprises 30 modules (10 modules on each of the ﬁrst, second and third levels) including two major subjects.

At least half of your BA curriculum will be in your two major subjects. It is therefore most important that you should select a combination of major subjects that will satisfy your personal academic requirements and interests, and also be relevant to your present or future career. Each BA curriculum must contain at least TWO MAJOR SUBJECTS (unless otherwise indicated) which form an approved combination – see Rules A6 and A7 for limitations on the choice of subjects from Group B, and a list of major subjects that may NOT be combined.

NB 2

 If you are registering for the FIRST TIME at this University, you are referred to ‘Number of study units per year’ in Calendar Part 1 for possible restrictions.

 TEACHERS and prospective teachers are referred to I2.

 BEFORE CHOOSING ANY MAJOR OR ANCILLARY SUBJECT, you should refer to the list of subjects concerned under Group A or B under A5 (A9 if languages are chosen). You should also refer to the relevant subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar.

 If you wish to postpone the choice of your major subjects until the second year, you are advised to restrict your ﬁrst registration to a maximum of FOUR modules.

EXAMPLE

(1) Make sure that you have the necessary qualiﬁcations and prerequisites to register for your intended degree.

(2) Make sure that your intended major subjects correspond with your existing or intended career, unless you are just studying the subjects for the sake of interest.

(3) Refer to the relevant subject chapters and note the prescribed modules you will need on ﬁrst, second and third level.

(4) Now select modules from related subjects until you have ﬁlled your curriculum with ten modules on each level taking note of any prerequisites that may be required and should therefore be included in your curriculum.

(5) Having now compiled your curriculum with two major subjects, 30 modules and 10 modules on each level you need to spread your studies over 3, 4 or 5 years depending on the amount of time you are able to devote to your studies.

(6) Work out a study time table for a week. Calculate how many hours you have available for that week for study purposes. Divide the total by 8 and that indicates for how many modules you can register. If you cannot register for all 10 modules on ﬁrst-year level, it is recommended that you start with those subjects that you are going to leave a�er the ﬁrst year. In this way you can keep continuity with your majors and apply it a�er graduation.

I2

The BA Degree for teachers

and prospective teachers

NB 1

 For purposes of category recognition and employment, degree studies are normally recognised by Education Departments only if the student has passed at least 15 modules in approved school subjects (see below). Note that many Education Departments do not grant recognition for degree courses in subjects in which the student specialized during his studies for a Teacher’s Diploma.

 A teacher is therefore STRONGLY ADVISED to submit his/her proposed BA curriculum to his/her Education Department, to ascertain whether or not his/her completed degree will be recognised.

 A prospective teacher who does not hold a Teacher’s Diploma can consider completing the BA degree followed by the Postgraduate Certiﬁcate in Education (PGCE), but should note that the University can give no assurance with regard to the availability of teaching posts. A teacher or prospective teacher who wishes to register for the ordinary BA degree, is strongly advised to select his/her two major subjects from the APPROVED SCHOOL SUBJECTS listed below. If only one of the major subjects is an approved school subject, he/she should make sure that the curriculum contains suﬃcient modules in approved school subjects to satisfy the requirements for admission to studies for the PGCE as set out below.

APPROVED SCHOOL SUBJECTS

Of the major subjects that can be chosen at this University for the BA degree, those listed below are recognised as school subjects for the purpose of admission to studies for the PGCE.

NB 2

 Students who are registering for the FIRST TIME at this University are referred to A4 for possible restrictions.

 See the subject chapters in Part 2 of the Calendar for other restrictions and codes.

(i) Art History (provided that the student holds speciﬁed qualiﬁcations in practical art)

(ii) History of Music (provided that the student holds speciﬁed qualiﬁcations in Music)

(iii) Psychology (provided that Psychology on levels one, two and three are taken as well as the ﬁrst- and second-level modules in one of the subjects under (a)–(k) above are taken) (iv) Modules in ONE of the following subjects will be

recognised, but only for purposes of the ‘subject in another approved school subject’ required in (b) or (c) above:

Biology

Commercial Law I Information Systems Sociology I

Beginners’ modules in an African language

EXAMPLE

Art History (ARH111, 112, 211, 213, 311, 312, 313, 314) (Major subject)

Economics (ECS101, 102, 201, 202 and ﬁve of 301–307) (Major subject)

plus 4 further second-level modules eg 2 of ENN203–207 (English), 2 of HSY201, 202, 203 (History)

NB 3

Only ONE of Economics, Mathematics or Geography may be selected as a major subject since only ONE major may be taken from Group B (see A6(3) and A7(2)(c).
