1. South Africa

South Africa is fi ve times the size of Britain, and about as large as Holland, Belgium, Italy, France and former West Germany combined. It stretches from the Limpopo River in the north to blustery Cape Agulhas, nearly 2 000 km (1 240 miles) to the south, from Namaqualand along the barren western seaboard 1 500 km (932 miles) to subtropical KwaZulu-Natal and the humid Indian Ocean coast: a total land area of 1.3 million km2 (500 000 square miles).

It is a land with remarkable diversity: variety and contrast are vividly evident in the bewildering mix of race, language, creed, colour and culture. The diversity is there, too, in the nature of the land; in its geological formations and regional climates; its mountains, plains and coasts; its rich farmlands; its bushveld, scrub and arid deserts. Each of the many different parts supports its own distinctive plant and animal life.

According to P Joyce in Traveller’s guide to South Africa, it is truly “a world in one country”. South Africa is an extraordinarily beautiful country. Its climate is good, the scenery magnifi cent, its beaches unspoiled, and there is a sophisticated infrastructure, including a fi rst-rate road system, good air links between all major centres and good telephone communications, according to Spectrum guide to South Africa (published by Camerapix Publishers International).

The range of places to visit and things to do in South Africa is vast, so make sure you consult the following websites:

www.tshwane.gov.zawww.information.co.za

Provinces of South AfricaThe provinces of South Africa are as follows:

• Western Cape• Eastern Cape• Northern Cape• Free State• KwaZulu-Natal• Gauteng• North West• Limpopo• Mpumalanga

Offi cial languages and the percentage of speakersSouth Africa has 11 offi cial languages:

• IsiZulu (23,8%)• IsiXhosa (17,6%)• Afrikaans (13,3%)• Sepedi (Northern Sotho) (9,4%)• Setswana (8,2%)• English (8,2%)• Sesotho (7,9%)• Xitsonga (Shangaan) (4.4%)• Siswati (2.7%)• Tshivenda (2,3%)• IsiNdebele (1,6%)

ReligionSouth Africa is a religion-tolerant nation. Almost 80% of all South Africans belong to the Christian faith, including Protestant, Reformed, Methodist, Anglican and Lutheran representations, but also the Zionist Christian Church (ZCC). The Roman Catholic Church also has a large number of members.

The majority of people from Indian extraction belong to the Hindu faith, while about 20% are Muslims. The Malayan Coloured community in the Cape is also primarily Muslim. Fairly large Jewish communities are present in South Africa and the larger towns have synagogues. With an increasing number of Chinese immigrants, the Buddhist faith is also well represented and the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere is located at Bronkhorstspruit (east of Pretoria).

Time differenceSouth Africa offi cially has only one time zone and does not have a system of daylight saving. Standard time in South Africa is two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. No zone or seasonal variations apply in South Africa. Please consult www.timeanddate.com for more details.

Credit cards and traveller’s chequesIn South Africa most major credit cards are accepted. Examples are MasterCard, Visa, Diners Club and American Express.

Value Added Tax (VAT)In South Africa, Value Added Tax (VAT) is levied on most goods and services. The current rate is 14%. This is usually included in the marked price. Non-South African

citizens or residents may, however, claim back VAT on items taken out of the country when the total value exceeds a certain amount. Proof of items bought and documentation will be required at the point of exit.

International driver’s licenceFor insurance purposes, it is advisable to obtain an international driver’s licence in the country in which the holder’s national licence was issued. An international driver’s licence is valid for one year. Information about the renewal of such a licence should be obtained in the country of origin before proceeding to South Africa. The holder’s national driver’s licence is valid for a period of six months from date of entry in the RSA, provided it has been issued in English and that it contains a photograph and signature of the holder, together with the holder’s nationality.

Weights and measuresThe metric system is used in South Africa.

Tap waterWater in South Africa is safe to drink straight from the tap. Water for public use is of high quality and treated to be free from harmful micro-organisms. Bottled mineral water is readily available.

Shopping in South AfricaAll South African cities and large towns boast excellent shopping facilities. Shopping in South Africa can be great as most big shopping malls have a variety of restaurants, cinemas, franchises and shops to choose from.

Computer accessComputer access is available to registered students on all the campuses, as well as at internet cafés in the shopping area adjacent to the University’s Hatfi eld Campus.

Postal services and photocopyingPostal services are available close to, or on all our campuses. PostNet is a private postal and courier service, which also offers photocopying and faxing facilities. Xerox Copy Centre is situated on the Hatfi eld Campus to assist with photocopying and laminating, and to provide other services.

Calling South Africa from other countriesIf you wish to give your South African telephone number to someone in another country, make sure you add the South African country code, which is always +27, followed by the area code (012 for Pretoria) and your own number.

6


For example: If your number is 887 2431, the country code for South Africa is +27 and the area code for Pretoria is 012. The number you therefore give is +27 012 887 2431. The “+” sign represents the international access code for the calling country.

Calling from South Africa to other countriesDial 00 to exit South Africa before dialling the country code and telephone number in the other country. Telkom provides assistance for calling other countries. For assistance with checking a number in another country, call 10903. For assistance with booking a call to a number in another country, call 10900.

Health cover during your stay in South AfricaVisitors or students who enter South Africa are strongly advised to ensure that they have ample medical cover for the duration of their stay. For more information, visit one of the following websites: www.momentumhealth.co.zawww.bestmed.co.za

Safety in South AfricaHints on safety and security

• Avoid isolated areas if you are alone. • Be vigilant of suspicious persons loitering in the

immediate vicinity. • Report all crime, no matter how insignifi cant, to the

nearest police station or security services’ offi cer.• Pay attention to your surroundings.• Take responsibility for your own safety.• Protect your goods and possessions.

Safety at the airport

• Stay especially alert and watch your bags and laptop at all times. Do not let anyone but uniformed airline personnel handle or watch your bags.

• Watch out for staged mishaps, like someone bumping into you or spilling a drink, as it is often a

ploy to divert your attention and steal your bag or passport.

• Carry your purse or wallet close to your body or in an inside front pocket. Better yet, wear a money pouch under your clothes.

• Keep a separate record of the content of checked luggage, and keep anything of value in a bag that stays with you at all times.

• Avoid displaying expensive cameras, jewellery and luggage that might draw attention. Your aim should be to blend in with the crowd.

Safety at hotels or other places of accommodation

• Do not leave your luggage unattended unless it is locked away in your room.

• Store valuables in the safe deposit box.• Keep your room locked at all times.• Hand your key in at the desk when you leave the

hotel.• If someone knocks, check who it is before opening

the door.• Make sure that luggage is only given to the hotel bell

staff and a receipt is issued for stored luggage.

Safety at the ATM

• If possible, use ATMs you are familiar with or choose well-lit, well-situated ATMs.

• Scan the area before you approach the ATM and avoid using an ATM if there are suspicious-looking people around, or if it is isolated or looks unsafe in any way.

Safety tips for travel documents

• Prevent theft of your passport, travel documents or international driver’s licence. If you lose your passport, travel documents or international driver’s licence, go to your nearest police station immediately, report the theft and get a case number.

• The best way of dealing with identity theft is to prevent it from happening in the fi rst place. Protect yourself by protecting your documents, driver’s licence and personal information.

Hints to prevent cellular phone robberies

• Conceal your cellphone when you are in a public place.

• Do not leave your cellphone in an open car.• Never leave your cellphone in your offi ce unattended.• Know the IEM number of your phone and keep it in

a safe place.• Put your phone on silent when you are in a public

place and only answer it when it is safe to do so.• If your cellphone is lost or stolen, report it to the

Mobile Cellular Operator (MCO), who will give you a blacklisting reference number. After that, you must report the theft to a police offi cer at a police station where you will be expected to produce the reference number that you received from the MCO.

• Once a cellphone is blacklisted, anyone who gets hold of it will be unable to use it.

Preparing to travel to South AfricaBag your LAGs (liquids, aerosols and gels)LAGs stands for liquid, aerosols and gels. This refers to new international safety regulations that limit the quantity of these items allowed in your hand luggage on international fl ights.

The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) will enforce rules that restrict the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) that passengers may take on board in their hand luggage on international fl ights. This is to protect against the threat of liquid explosives. The new laws imply more planning when packing, but are for the safety of all passengers on international fl ights.

What do I need to do?

• You may only carry liquids, aerosols and gels in your hand luggage in containers with a maximum capacity of 100 ml each.

• You may carry several containers with liquid contents.

• These containers must be packed in a resealable, transparent plastic bag.

• The total capacity of the plastic bag must not exceed one litre.

• It must be possible to open and reseal the plastic bag.

• Each passenger can carry only one of these bags.• The bags must be removed from your hand luggage

and presented to security personnel for inspection.

Where can I get the correct bags?Bags will be available at key points in the airport precinct and will also be issued to airlines for distribution to their passengers at check-in as a last resort. Longer term initiatives will see ACSA providing these bags to the travel industry to allow for distribution at places such as the point of ticket purchase.

2. The University of Pretoria

The University of Pretoria (UP) provides an intellectual home for the rich diversity of South African academic talent. It has an inclusive and enabling, value-driven organisational culture.

Faculties and the Business SchoolUP has nine faculties and a business school:

• Economic and Management Sciences• Education• Engineering, Built Environment and Information

Technology• Health Sciences• Humanities• Law• Natural and Agricultural Sciences• Theology• Veterinary Science (the only faculty of its kind in

South Africa)• Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)

Many of the faculties are subdivided into schools. UP offers more than 200 qualifi cations. The rich cultural diversity of the South African population is refl ected in the total student population. The University has almost 20 000 distance education students, and more than 3 000 international students.

The University has a multilingual student body and teaches through the medium of Afrikaans and English. Sepedi is used as a language of communication.

UP students become well-rounded, creative people, responsible, productive citizens and future leaders. Great emphasis is placed on student life and the advancement of sport, art, culture and music.

Humble beginningsThe University of Pretoria started in 1908 with a staff complement of four professors and three lecturers at the Pretoria branch of the Transvaal University College. Thirty-two students enrolled for courses in arts and science at the fi rst campus, Kya Rosa, a house in the centre of Pretoria. The college became a fully-fl edged university in 1930 and the colloquial name of the University, Tuks or Tukkies, was derived from the acronym of the Transvaal University College – TUC.

VisionVisionTo be a leading research-intensive university in Africa, recognised internationally for its quality, relevance and impact, as also for developing people, creating knowledge and making a difference locally and globally.

MissionMissionIn pursuing recognition and excellence in its core functions of research, teaching and learning, and integrating engagement with society and communities into these, the University of Pretoria will use quality, relevance, diversity and sustainability as its navigational markers.

ValuesValuesThe members of the University of Pretoria believe that:- our community of scholars must be founded on the

pursuit of knowledge through research, teaching and learning, with membership acquired on the basis of intellectual merit, ability and the potential for excellence; and that

- differing perspectives, arising from diverse back-grounds and histories that defi ne our identities, deepen scholarly inquiry and enrich academic debate.

We cherish:- academic freedom, creative and innovative thought,

ethical standards and integrity, accountability and social justice; and

- our staff and students as the University’s core asset.

We foster:- an inquiry-led and evidence-based approach to

creating knowledge; and- academic citizenship, whereby we commit ourselves

to harnessing our intellectual abilities in the interest of our nation and humanity.

We recognise that:- in a resource-constrained world where vast

disparities remain, the University must endeavour to produce graduates who appreciate the importance of community service, entrepreneurial endeavours and innovative actions in generating employment and development in our local communities.

GovernanceUP CouncilThe University is governed by a Council. The majority of members are not employees of the University, but are drawn from a number of constituencies. These include the 5 members appointed by the Minister of Education, 4 elected by the alumni, 2 elected by the donors, 1 appointed by the local metropolitan authority, 2 students, 3 elected by the Senate, 2 elected by the academic and

10


non-academic staff members, 6 appointed by the Council on the basis of relevant expertise and experience, and the 5 executive management. The position of Chancellor is a strictly ceremonial one, and carries no governance or management responsibilities whatsoever.

ManagementThe Executive Management consists of the Vice-Chancellor and Principal, four vice-principals (whose main focus is on the academic core business), a registrar, three executive directors (who manage various support functions and institutional advancement), as well as an advisor to the Principal. The next management level consists of deans of faculties and directors of support functions. The Senior Management of the University consists of executive management, deans of faculties and directors of support services.

• The Association of African Universities (AAU)• The Association of Commonwealth Universities

(ACU)• The Federation of Tertiary Institutions in the

Metropolis (FOTIM)• Higher Education South Africa (HESA)• The International Association of University

Presidents (IAUP)• The National Institute for Higher Education (NIHE)

University of Pretoria campuses and faculties

2.1 Hatfi eld CampusThe Hatfi eld Campus serves as the main campus and its more than 60 historical buildings are spread over 24 hectares. It is one of the most picturesque campuses in South Africa and is located in close proximity to a business centre with several essential services, such as banks, bookshops, pharmacies, sport facilities, clothing stores, restaurants and coffee shops.

Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences The Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences is the largest faculty in the University of Pretoria in terms of registered contact students. The key to the Faculty’s success is the high premium placed on preparing a new generation of entrepreneurs who will create employment opportunities and have an innovative approach to life.

The Faculty creates, applies and disseminates knowledge in the economic, management and fi nancial sciences through its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, its continuing education programmes, its research and its community engagement projects. This process takes place in an environment of scholarship that recognises South Africa’s challenges and allows learners to acquire an understanding of the contributions they can make towards business and growth in the economy.

The Faculty uses an education model that enriches academic programmes with interventions such as group projects, real-life case studies, internships, service learning and developmental projects, such as participating in competitions and in contract research.

The Faculty’s programmes are accredited by several national and international professional bodies, such as the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Independent Regulatory Board of Auditors, the Institute of Cost Management Accountants (UK), the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts (USA), the Institute of Internal Auditors (USA), the European Certifi cation Board of Logistics, the Health Professions Council of South Africa (RSA) and the Institute for Public Relations (UK).

Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology at the University of Pretoria offers graduate programmes that are not only at the forefront of the various disciplines, but also equip graduates to be leaders in their chosen professions.

The key to the Faculty’s success is the high premium it places on innovation. This is embodied in the approach to training, training methods and research, but above all, in the innovative attitude nurtured in students.

The Faculty is characterised by the following:

•• being the largest faculty of its kind in the country with internationally accredited degrees;;

• • collaboration with international universities;• • unique training in the management of technology;• strong ties with industry and a wide variety of

specialist fi elds;• a strong research focus; and• a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate

programmes from honours to doctoral level.

11


The degree programmes are accredited by both national and international professional bodies, where appropriate.The Faculty is unique in its approach to and capabilities in innovation. Training and research programmes are supported by the Faculty’s Institute for Technological Innovation and Graduate School of Technology Management; both are the fi rst and the only ones in South Africa.

Faculty of HumanitiesThe mission of the Faculty of Humanities is to train highly competent students by ensuring that its teaching programmes are not only internationally competitive, but also capable of achieving local impact through relevance.

The Faculty also manages the experimental farm adjacent to the University’s Hatfi eld Campus.

The Faculty is one of the most diverse science faculties in South Africa. It consists of 17 departments, specialising in highly relevant programmes in the biological, mathematical, physical, agricultural and food sciences.

Faculty of TheologyThe Faculty of Theology is the largest of its kind in South Africa. An important characteristic of this Faculty is its holistic nature. During its Lekgotla of 28 to 30 April 2010, the Faculty developed a new strategic vision and mission, which can be formulated as follows:

The vision of this faculty is to be a faculty recognised for its creative engagement with lifegiving theology and religious insight.

The Faculty is committed to provide theological and religious education; nurture transformative leaders; do quality research; promote justice, peace, the integrity of creation and a reconciling diversity and engage with people on the margins of society.

In terms of this strategy, human beings are regarded as embedded in their natural, physical, social and spiritual environments. The focus areas in the various academic departments are consequently aimed at interdisciplinary dialogue. Both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are currently being revised and new curricula are being developed.

Through focused, well-planned and carefully monitored strategies, the Faculty maintains an exemplary research record in its research areas.

Two accredited academic journals are linked to the Faculty, namely HTS (Hervormde Theological/ Teologiese Studies) and VE (Verbum et Ecclesia), which operate as open-access online journals at www.hts.org.za and www.ve.org.za.

2.6 Sandton CampusGordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)“GIBS’s purpose is to signifi cantly improve the competitive performance of individuals and organisations through business education.”Prof Nick Binedell (Director: GIBS)

For those individuals who wish to lead, make a difference and who are open to changing themselves, the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science is a remarkable place to learn the business skills needed to take the lead in business.

As the “business school for business”, GIBS is passionate about providing talented executives with business education that is relevant to the times in which we live, and will see you and your business competing effectively in a tough and demanding environment.

In May 2010, GIBS was again ranked as one of the top business schools globally by the prestigious Financial Times. It is the only African business school to be placed in the top 50 business schools worldwide for executive education programmes. This is the seventh year running that GIBS has achieved this accolade.

GIBS offers prospective postgraduate students the choice of two world-class, internationally accredited Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) programmes, including the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA, the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration (PDBA) and the Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA).

Master’s in Business AdministrationGIBS offers two world-class, MBA programmes that are accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA): the GIBS MBA and the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA. Offering relevant exposure to the best practices of South African and global leadership, the MBA programmes are delivered by highly qualifi ed, world-class local and international staff members through a potent mix of classroom lectures, case studies, business simulations, company visits and syndicate projects.

The GIBS MBA is a general management degree completed over two years. GIBS offers students the choice of either a modular block release programme or a part-time programme. The full-time Entrepreneurship MBA spans a period of 15 months, covering every aspect of business and leadership that an entrepreneur needs to understand in order to create a sustainable business.

A unique feature of the life-changing MBA programmes at GIBS is the compulsory global module that enables

students to benefi t from international experience and enjoy exposure to best practice in other industries and companies. In turn, that learning is translated back into their own companies.

GIBS MBA graduates will vouch for the fact that the MBA is one of the greatest investments one can make towards one’s future.

Postgraduate Diploma in Business AdministrationThe PDBA is a one-year modular block release programme that is aimed at fast-tracking high-potential young graduates into the world of business. Covering the same fundamental business principles as the MBA, the PDBA offers an interactive learning process that combines a broad understanding of business concepts with practical applications.

Successful graduates of the PDBA can earn credits for up to fi ve of the 19 MBA core courses, on the condition that students attain a 65% aggregate in these subjects and commence with the MBA programme within fi ve years of completing the PDBA.

Doctorate in Business AdministrationThe GIBS DBA is an advanced study programme that builds on the solid foundation of a fi rst-class MBA. It is the highest qualifi cation awarded by GIBS and is intended for top-echelon business scholars who are interested in deepening their knowledge of select topics in the fi eld of business science and administration through intensive study and research. The DBA runs over four years and consists of directed learning and research. The fi rst year is devoted to intensive directed learning, based on prescribed readings, facilitated seminars and independent written assignments. The remaining 36 months of the DBA programme are devoted to independent research, leading to a doctoral thesis.

In addition to its postgraduate programmes, GIBS’s product offering also includes the following:

• a range of certifi cate programmes, such as the Programme for Management Development (PMD) and certifi cate programmes in fi nance and marketing;

• a comprehensive array of executive education programmes, ranging from GIBS forums and conferences to one- to three-day short courses;

• a number of senior executive development courses, including the premier Global Executive Development Programme (GEDP), the African Leadership Programme (ALP) and the Finance Executive Development Programme (FEDP); and

• in-house company-specifi c programmes (CSPs) that are designed to meet the client’s needs.

23


Over and above the traditional business school offering, the Centre for Leadership and Dialogue offers a series of programmes that are aimed at bringing together the emerging and current leadership of South Africa to create a shared vision that is necessary to build a successful nation.

With more than 70 South African and global companies and organisations across 22 countries investing in the development of their leaders through GIBS, ensuring return on investment for its partner companies is an undeniable prerequisite of GIBS’s success. Simply stated, GIBS aims to ensure that the benefi ts gained by its clients – and individuals – through the provision of knowledge, skills and qualities that improve business performance outweigh the investment in time and fi nances.

To fi nd out which GIBS programme best suits you, a comprehensive web-based tool – neXt – has been developed. This is a free online career mentor that is designed to guide you in assessing, refl ecting on and planning the neXt steps in your management career. It helps you determine where you are in your career and which steps you need to take to achieve your goals. Simply log on to www.neXt.gibs.co.za to manage your career with 13 easy-to-use career management assessments that will help you plan and achieve your career objectives and next steps.

5. Security at the University of Pretoria

Quality is a trademark of the University of Pretoria. This is not only refl ected in its pursuit of academic excellence, but also in the way the University deals with its students, the services provided to its students and the quality of the total campus experience.

The University is fully committed to maintaining a stable and safe environment to allow students to study with peace of mind, take part in a variety of cultural, sport and student activities and thus thoroughly enjoy student life.

Given the extent of crime in South Africa, the University approaches this issue in collaboration with other role-players, such as the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. By doing so, the University contributes to the promotion of a safe environment, even outside the University’s boundaries.

The Department of Security Services operates according to a well-structured operational plan and with crucial strategies in place that are truly outcomes-based. It combines decades of sound experience, common sense and a true liking and respect for others, all in a day’s work.

5.1 Safety on campuses – Green Foot safety routes

The Green Route Project is one of numerous pro-active initiatives and professional services launched by the University in its attempt to provide and maintain a secure work and study environment for students and personnel members. The route makes specifi c provision for students and staff members to be accompanied to and from their residences and vehicles or any nearby places.

Security offi cers accompany students on a daily basis from 18:00 to 06:00 from the following points on the various campuses:

• Hatfi eld Campus: In front of the Absa ATM next to the Merensky Library

• Prinshof Campus: In front of the HW Snyman Building

• Groenkloof Campus: Between the Administration Building and the Auditorium

• Kalafong Campus: In front of the Klinikala Building

Students who cannot contact the 24-hour Operational Management Centre should go to the security offi cial on duty at the gate of their respective residences to request an escort, which will subsequently be arranged.

32


Since the Onderstepoort and Mamelodi campuses do not have specifi c points from where the escorts depart, the 24-hour Operational Management Centre should be contacted for the necessary arrangements to be made. The escorts at these two campuses are performed by personnel from this department.

Please take note that this escort is not done by vehicle, but on foot, and is also an offi cial service. Any additional arrangements can be made with the 24-hour Operational Management Centre.

Contact informationTel: +27 (0)12 420 2310/2760 (24-hours)

Safety tips• Avoid isolated areas if you are alone.• Be vigilant of suspicious persons loitering in the

12.3 Restriction on student numbersOwing to constraints on the facilities of the University, the intake of students in all the degree programmes is limited. Quotas may even be reached long before the closing date. Please note that meeting the minimum requirements of a degree programme, does not guarantee admission.

12.4 General admission requirementsThe University of Pretoria promotes intellectual and social justice to ensure racial, ethnic and gender equality in all spheres of its institutional life.

National Senior Certifi cateThe statutory minimum requirement for degree studies is a National Senior Certifi cate (NSC), certifi ed by Umalusi, with a minimum achievement rating of 4 (50-59%) in four recognised NSC 20-credit subjects from the designated subject list below:

• Accounting• Agricultural Science• Business Studies (previously Business Economics)• Consumer Studies (previously Home Economics)• Dramatic Arts• Economics• Engineering Graphics and Design (previously

Technical Drawing)• Geography• History• Information Technology• Languages*• Life Sciences (previously Biology)• Mathematical Literacy• Mathematics• Music• Physical Science (previously Natural Sciences)• Religion Studies (previously Biblical Studies)• Visual Arts

* Based on the languages used as medium of instruction at the

University of Pretoria, it is advisable that students should have

English and/or Afrikaans as Home Language or as First Additional

Language, together with any other language of choice. Individual

faculties and/or certain programmes may impose additional

requirements.

Prospective students in Grade 12 must use their fi nal Grade 11 year mark (promotion mark) to apply for admission. No Grade 12 marks will be considered for provisional admission. Please note that prospective students who have already left school should use their NSC certifi cate to apply. Additional selection criteria are applicable in applications for selection programmes (see tables elsewhere in this brochure or refer to www.up.ac.za).

A Grade 12 certifi cate with university exemption is required if Grade 12 was obtained before 2008. For learners in Grade 12, provisional admission is granted based on the results obtained in the fi nal Grade 11 year mark (promotion mark). Please note that the fi nal Grade 12 results remain the determining factor for admission. Also note that the achievement of the minimum requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to any programme or fi eld of study.

Calculation of Admission Point ScoreThe calculation of an Admission Point Score (APS) is based on a candidate’s achievement in any six recognised NSC 20-credit subjects (not only designated subjects), by using the NSC seven-point rating scale of achievement (see Table 1). Students who do not have an NSC must please refer to the APS Conversion table (Table 3).

12.6 Postgraduate applicantsSouth African Qualifi cations AuthorityPostgraduate applicants must have all previous post-school qualifi cations evaluated by the South African Qualifi cations Authority (SAQA) when applying for postgraduate studies at the University of Pretoria.

What is SAQA?SAQA is a juristic person – that is an entity given a legal personality by the law. The SAQA Board is a body of 22 members appointed by the Minister of Education after consultation with the Minister of Labour. The members are nominated by identifi ed national stakeholders in education and training.

The role of SAQA is to do the following:

• Advance the objectives of the National Qualifi cations Framework (NQF).

• Oversee the further development of the NQF.• Coordinate the subframeworks.

The standards generating bodies and task teams are responsible for generating standards and qualifi cations and recommending them to the Standards Setting Directorate.

In terms of the NQF Act, Act No. 67 of 2008, the quality councils will do the following, among others:

• Develop and manage their subframeworks, and make recommendations to the relevant ministers.

• Ensure the development of qualifi cations or part qualifi cations, as are necessary for their sectors, which may include appropriate measures for the assessment of learning achievement.

• Recommend qualifi cations or part qualifi cations to SAQA for registration.

SAQA plays the following role with regard to qualifi cations:

• Develops and implements policy and criteria for recognising a professional body and registering a professional designation for the purposes of the act after consultation with statutory and non-statutory bodies of expert practitioners in occupational fi elds and with the quality councils.

• Recognise a professional body and register its professional designation if the relevant criteria have been met.

Education and training quality assurance bodies have the following responsibilities:

• Accredit providers of education and training.• Register accredited providers on the NQF.• Monitor provision.• Evaluate assessment.• Facilitate moderation across providers.• Register assessors.

What is the NQF?The NQF is a comprehensive system approved by the Minister – for the classifi cation, registration, publication and articulation of quality-assured national qualifi cations.

In short, the NQF is the set of principles and guidelines by which records of learner achievement are registered to enable national recognition of acquired skills and knowledge, thereby ensuring an integrated system that encourages life-long learning.

12.7 Other admission requirements Certifi catesIn order to assess the academic status of applicants from other countries, the University requires certifi ed copies of such applicants’ secondary school certifi cate, submitted together with their application forms. The subjects, as well as the levels on which the subjects were passed, must be indicated on the certifi cate. Certifi cates issued in languages other than English must be accompanied by certifi ed English translations done by an accredited translator.

International candidates applying for admission to the School of Engineering are required to submit certifi ed copies of the syllabi for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (approximately 200-300 words for each subject) passed during the fi nal year of school.

TestsIn order to be admitted and registered at UP, you may be required to pass an accredited language profi ciency test. Accepted language profi ciency tests include the following:

• TOEFL test. The minimum requirement for the TOEFL test is Written 22, Verbal 23, Reading 21 and Listening 17 with a total of 83 (see www.ets.org/toefl ).

• IELTS test. The minimum requirement for the IELTS test is 6 (see www.IELTS.org.)

• Institutional Profi ciency Test (www.nbt.ac.za). The University of Pretoria requires prospective students to write an Institutional Profi ciency Test (the National Benchmark Test – NBT). Details of the test will be communicated to applicants in writing.

Contact informationTel: +27 (0)21 650 3523Website: www.nbt.ac.za 13. Language policy and medium

of instruction

In conducting its business, the University uses two offi cial languages: English and Afrikaans. In formal education, the medium of instruction is either English or Afrikaans, or both of these languages, provided that there is a demand and that it is academically and economically justifi able. However, it remains the student’s responsibility to ascertain on an annual basis in which language a module and any further level of that module is presented. In respect of administrative and other services, a student has the right to choose whether the University should communicate with him or her in English or Afrikaans.

In order for international students to immerse themselves in both the academic and social environments of the University of Pretoria, they need to be familiar with the English language.

14. International students

14.1 Student categoriesFull degree-seeking studentsThese are students who are admitted and register for full degree studies at UP. All application and admission processes relevant to South African students apply.

Exchange students (under the auspices of an agreement) (inbound)Students apply under the auspices of an active collaboration agreement between UP and a partner institution outside the borders of South Africa. They are short-term students (one semester or two, at the most) coming to study at UP. All stipulations as stated in the specifi c collaboration agreement apply. Tuition fees are normally waived.

Exchange students (under the auspices of an agreement) (outbound)Students apply under the auspices of an active collaboration agreement between a partner institution and UP outside the borders of South Africa. They are short-term students (one semester or two, at the most) going to study at the partner institution. All stipulations as stated in the specifi c collaboration agreement apply. Tuition fees are normally waived.

Study abroad students (not under the auspices of an agreement) (inbound)Students apply for a short period of study at UP (one semester or two, at the most), but there is either no existing collaboration agreement between UP and the home institution, or the student is outside the reciprocal quota as stated in the agreement.

The proviso is that:

• the student must be registered;• tuition fees are not waived; examinations must be

taken; and• the sending university must give permission and

agree on academic credits obtained at UP.

Study abroad students (not under the auspices of an agreement) (outbound)Students apply for a short period of study at an institution outside the borders of South Africa (one semester or two, at the most), but there is either no existing collaboration agreement between UP and the host institution, or the student is outside the reciprocal quota as stated in the agreement.

• The student must be registered. • Tuition fees are not waived. Exams must be taken. • UP must give permission and agree on academic

credits obtained at the host institution.45


Elective studentsThese are students wishing to spend an elective period at the University of Pretoria, normally from four to sixteen weeks. Students enter South Africa on a visitor’s visa.

Examples of elective students are as follows:

• Observers: Individuals who come for an elective period, mainly to observe certain academic processes and procedures at UP.

• Researchers: Individuals who come to do a very short period of research in a very specifi c study fi eld.

• Visiting elective: Individuals who come to visit UP for a specifi c programme, to lecture or as part of an outreach initiative.

• Internship: Individuals who come for an internship without remuneration of any kind and who do not enrol for any academic course or module.

• Special groups: Student groups visiting UP for non-academic merit purposes are also registered as elective students to obtain access to facilities.

Postdoctoral fellowsA postdoctoral fellow is regarded as a young researcher who has already obtained a doctoral degree and who conducts research at a university in collaboration with a senior research mentor in order to develop research capabilities. A postdoctoral fellow is regarded as an asset to a university and is treated and supported as such in the system.

South African and international fellowsSouth African and international fellows come to the University of Pretoria to spend a short period of time with an academic department in order to collaborate, do research or observe academic activities. These fellows play an important role in the development and exchange of expertise.

14.2 ImmigrationNon-South African citizens must obtain temporary residence permits before embarking for South Africa. Please ensure that you are in possession of all the documentation required when applying for a temporary residence permit. Visit the website www.dfa.gov.za to ascertain where the closest South African mission is and what will be required of you.

Study permitsEvery international student is required to have a valid passport and temporary residence permit, such as a study permit, endorsed for study at the University of Pretoria. Non-South African citizens wishing to enter South Africa should only apply for study permits once an offi cial letter of admission has been received. Applications for a study

permit can be made at the offi cial representative of South Africa (embassy, high commission or consular offi ce) nearest to the students’ homes in their country or in a neighbouring country.

How to apply for a study permit You are required to apply for a study permit at the South African High Commission, Embassy, Consulate or Trade Mission in your country of residence or the nearest South African High Commission, Embassy, Consulate or Trade Mission.

Current requirements to be submitted to the South African Embassy or Consulate in order to obtain your study permit are as follows:

• a passport valid for not less than 30 days after intended studies;

• an administrative fee (as required at the time by the Department of Home Affairs of South Africa);

• confi rmation of South African medical aid cover and proof of payment from a medical aid scheme registered with the Council for Medical Schemes in South Africa. Cover must be valid for the duration of one academic year (January to December);

• an admission letter from the University stating the following:- the duration of the degree,- confi rmation that the admitted student is not taking the place of a local student, and- undertaking to inform the Department of Home Affairs when the student deregisters.

• a medial report (less than six months old) by a registered medical practitioner;

• a radiological report (less than six months old); • proof of funds to cover tuition fees and self

maintenance for the duration of studies in South Africa;

• a Police Clearance Certifi cate for the past six months or longer if the applicant is older than 18 years of age; and

• details regarding arranged accommodation while in South Africa.

Other documents that may be required are the following:

• a yellow fever vaccination certifi cate• relevant certifi cates if married, widowed, divorced or

separated

The following funds may be required:• a cash deposit or a return ticket to the country of

origin (repatriation guarantee)

46


Extension of study permitThe following must be submitted to the Department of Home Affairs:

• B11739 form plus current application fee (subject to change), together with:- a passport (original) (apply 30 days before the permit expires), - a police clearance certifi cate, radiological report, and - a medical report.

• spouse’s ID and marriage certifi cate (if applicable);• proof of registration from the institution concerned;• an accompanying letter from the faculty, school

or department, advising of the extension period required;

• proof of payment of tuition fees;• proof of funds available;• proof of South African medical aid cover;• proof of repatriation deposit paid; and• proof of guardianship for minor, if applicable.

Your application for the extension of a study permit must be signed by a consultant in the International Students Division, Client Service Centre, Hatfi eld Campus, before it is submitted to the Department of Home Affairs. You are advised to retain copies of all documents for your own records.

Endorsements to study permits (part-time studies)New interpretations of the regulations have been issued, which pertain to the conditions of part-time studies on a work permit. If you are the holder of a work or business permit, you may apply for a secondary endorsement to study part-time. The endorsement will only be valid for the period of the holder’s prospective business or work permit.

To apply for the endorsement, you will need to complete the B11739 form and submit the following:

• original passport and work permit,• letter of acceptance or a letter confi rming an offer

from the University,• proof of medical aid cover,• proof of fi nance, and• proof of employment.

Change of institution (study permit holders)The University is not permitted to register a student until he or she has produced a valid study permit. It usually takes at least six weeks for an application to be processed. It is also important to note that a study permit is issued to study at one institution and a student would have to apply for a change of conditions, should they want to change

institutions. This can be done in South Africa in the city applicable to the new institution of study.

Before applying for this permit, a student must obtain a release letter from the current institution, stating that this institution has no objections to the transfer.

Change of conditions (study permit holders)A change to the conditions of a study permit refers to a situation where a student holds a valid study permit with a condition to study at another institution in South Africa (other than the one he or she is applying to). This is usually the case with learners and students studying at South African high schools, colleges and other academic institutions. Their permits would therefore need to be endorsed with a condition to study at institutions in any of the categories above. In order to register at the University of Pretoria, the permit will need to be endorsed for the applicant to study at the University of Pretoria.

Application for a change to the conditions of a study permit constitutes a new application for a study permit. Although the applicant will need to complete a separate form, the requirements are the same as those for the initial application for a study permit.

Please note:

• These forms are available on the internet (www.home-affairs.gov.za). They can also be collected at any South African visa-issuing authority (Home Affairs offi ces, consulates or embassies).

• This information is meant to serve as a guide only. Requirements for studying in South Africa are subject to change and each application is treated as an individual case. Always make inquiries before travelling to South Africa.

• The holder of a study permit for studies at a higher education institution may conduct part-time work for a period not exceeding 20 hours per week for as long as the study permit is valid.

Important information for study permit holdersNon-South African citizens who are holders of study permits, or who wish to apply for a study permit, must, in terms of South Africa’s Immigration Act, have suffi cient medical aid coverage for the duration of their stay in South Africa.

Non-South African citizens intending to study at the University of Pretoria can join one of the following medical aid schemes:

47


Momentum Health (Ingwe option)Membership fees are payable in advance from January to December annually.Tel: +27 (0)12 671 8511Email: [email protected]: www.ingwehealth.co.za

BestMed Medical Scheme (Blueprint student option)Membership fees are payable in advance from January to December annually.Tel: +27 (0)12 339 9800 or 086 000 2378 or 086000BESTFax: +27 (0)12 323 4106 or 339 9900Email: [email protected]: www.bestmed.co.za

VaccinationsYellow fever certifi cates are required if the journey starts or entails passing through the yellow fever belt of Africa or South America.

RefugeesA refugee is a foreign national who has refugee status accorded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and has a South African identity book that is stamped ‘refugee status’ and is normally valid for two years until permanent status is awarded. If not, the accorded status reverts to ‘asylum seeker’.

The Refugee Act, Act No. 130 of 1998 (Section 27), provides refugee students the right to study without a study permit.

Tuition fees are similar to those of local South African students and refugee students pay local application fees. No medical aid cover is legally required, however, it is highly recommended.

Asylum seekersAn asylum seeker is a person who comes to South Africa and applies to the government for protection as a refugee. An asylum seeker should have a valid permit issued under the Immigration Act, Act No 13 of 2002 (Section 13).

Tuition fees are similar to those applicable to local South African students and asylum seekers must pay local application fees. No medical aid cover is legally required, however, it is highly recommended.

NB: Registered students are required to update their UP records with the International Students Division in the Client Service Centre each time they renew their permits.

DiplomatsChildren of diplomats under the age of 23 years are exempt from a study permit and pay local tuition fees.

Spouses of diplomats do not automatically qualify for exemptions from a study permit. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation will consider each application on merit.

These concessions are only valid for the period that the diplomat is in offi ce in the Republic of South Africa. These benefi ts are not transferable. Once the diplomatic service ends in South Africa, the student automatically reverts to regular non-South African citizen status according to the relevant citizenship for which all relevant international fees will be applicable.

Practical training permitThis is a permit issued with a study permit, enabling students to work towards the completion of their qualifi cation. This work must be study-related. No other work is allowed.

A student on a practical training permit may receive payment. The permit is obtainable when or after the student applies for the initial study permit. The faculty needs to provide the student with a letter indicating that students will be required to work towards the completion of their qualifi cation in order for the student to be issued with this permit.

Block studentsThese are students who attend university for a period of less than three months per academic year. These students may enter South Africa on a visitor’s visa and are therefore not required to obtain a study permit. Block students are also exempted from the requirement of medical aid cover.

14.3 Additional important information for international students

RegistrationRegistration can only take place after the pre-registration process mentioned above has been completed. Students will normally receive a registration form from their respective faculties before registration.

OrientationThe University of Pretoria offers an orientation programme for all fi rst-year students on an annual basis. All non-South African citizens who are newcomers to the University of Pretoria are, however, urged to participate in the Special Orientation Programme offered by the International Students Division. This normally takes place during the week preceding the offi cial opening of the academic year in January.

15. Fees

15.1 Application levyProspective students, who do not yet have a student number (EMPLID), must pay a non-refundable application levy of R220 in one of the following ways:

• Walk-in service. The application levy can be paid at the cashiers on all the University of Pretoria campuses between 08:00 and 16:00 on weekdays.

• Online credit card payments. Students who apply online must take note that only credit card payments may accompany these applications.

• Postal service. Mail your application form together with a cheque or postal order to The Client Service Centre, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Hatfi eld 0028.

The University does not take responsibility for any cash sent through the mail or for documents or cash left with unauthorised persons.

15.2 University of Pretoria banking detailsYou may make direct deposits into one of the following two University accounts.

Other feesPayments, such as the ones listed below, can be made at the cashiers on all the various campuses:

• university fees• meal money• printing credits• internet credits

After your application for admission has been processed and you have received a student number, you may also make use of the following payment options:

• Direct deposits. You may deposit fees directly into the University’s bank accounts at Absa and Standard Bank, either personally by visiting a branch of the bank or electronically via your own bank’s website. Retain your deposit slip for reference purposes. Please do not fax your deposit slip. Wait two working days before checking on www.up.ac.za/virtualcampus/sos/login.do to see whether your deposit refl ects. The reason for this is that banks forward all card and bank payments to the University by means of batch processing, which takes two to three working days. Payments will therefore not refl ect on your account on the same day as payment was made. Please use your student number as reference on the deposit slip.

• Credit and debit card payments. Payments with these cards may be made at the cashiers in the Client Service Centre. Credit card payments can also be arranged at +27 (0)12 420 3111 or online at www.up.ac.za/cardpayment.

• Cheque payments. Cheque payments may be made at the cashiers at the Client Service Centre. If the cheque is not bank guaranteed, the payment will be subjected to a bank clearance period of ten working days.

Non-South African citizens will be levied tuition fees double the amount payable by South African citizens if the student originates from a country other than the SADC countries or, if the course of study of the student is not towards a research master’s or doctoral degree.

Payments. Payments can be made by transferring funds from the student’s local bank to one of the University’s bank accounts. Details of the University’s bank accounts are given in Table 4. Should students terminate their studies, all outstanding fees become immediately payable. Refer to the currency converter at www.xe.com.

Please use your student number as reference on the deposit slip.

Due dates for payment. Certain payments must be made before a student is permitted to register. These include payments to reserve accommodation in a residence. Table 5 specifi es such payments and when they are due.

Calculation of tuition fees. Tuition fees for 2013 depend on the study programme and modules selected by a student. For this reason, actual costs can only be refl ected on a student’s account once registration has been completed. These fees represent a combination of costs, which include formal services rendered (ie lectures, practicals, computer laboratory access, consumables used in laboratories), as well as indirect overheads, such as the provision of library and recreation facilities, security and cleaning services, electricity and water supply. Fees do not include the cost of prescribed books, study material or other study-related expenses.

Please note the following:

• A student will only be permitted to register for an academic year once all outstanding fees have been paid.

• Students holding bursaries issued by institutions other than the University of Pretoria must submit documentation confi rming the award to the Client Service Centre.

• Examination results and records are not made available to students whose accounts are in arrears. Such students will also not qualify for placement in residence. Interest will be charged on overdue accounts.

• The estimated tuition fees per faculty for 2012 are refl ected in Table 5, and may be projected to obtain an indicative idea of fees for 2013.

16. Accommodation at the University of Pretoria

16.1 General informationOnly a limited number of places are available in the University’s residences. Placement in residences is based on academic achievement (the APS) in Grade 11 and when your application is received. Consequently, you are strongly advised to apply for placement in a residence before the end of March of the year preceding your studies. Please note that the demand for residence accommodation exceeds the availability. A place in a residence can therefore not be guaranteed in spite of early application and a high APS.

Application for placement in a residence is made on the application form for a study programme. Placement in a residence then takes place after a prospective student has been provisionally admitted to a study programme. Please note that conditional admission to a study programme does not necessarily guarantee a place in a residence.

• A bus service operates between Katjiepiering, the men’s residences and the Hatfi eld Campus. The service is currently free of charge to residents.

* All amounts are subject to change and should not be considered to be the fi nal cost. The rate of infl ation during 2012 can be used as a guideline to estimate the increase in tuition fees for 2013.

• All students who study Education and apply for accommodation are automatically considered for placement on the Groenkloof Campus. Students who study other programmes and attend classes at the Hatfi eld Campus are also considered for residences on the Groenkloof Campus. A free bus service between the Hatfi eld and Groenkloof campuses is currently available for these students.

• Students who have been admitted to a degree programme in the Faculty of Health Sciences are automatically considered for placement in a residence on the Prinshof Campus.

• During holiday periods, residences are used for guest accommodation. Maintenance and upgrades are done during the April, July and December holiday periods. Students are therefore expected to vacate residences during these periods.

16.2 Terms and conditionsOccupancy. If you no longer comply with the minimum admission requirements of your specifi c academic programme, you may not move into a residence, even if a place was previously allocated to you and paid for. Remember to bring along your exact room number when registering so that you can complete the Proof of Occupation Form.

Room changes. Permission must be granted for a student to move from one room to another. If the correct procedure is not followed, a fi ne of R300 will be charged and debited to the relevant student’s account.

• A Change of Room form must be completed. This form can be obtained from the Coordinator: Residence Facilities. The form must be signed by the Head of Residence and submitted at the offi ce of the relevant Coordinator: Residence Facilities or placed in the postbox outside the offi ce.

• The Coordinator: Residence Facilities will do a room inspection to determine if any damage occurred in the room during the student’s stay.

Departure. The Notice of Departure from Residence form must be completed 30 days before the date of departure from your residence. Failure to do so will result in an additional month’s residence fee being levied on your account.

Room renewal. Residence placement for the following year is based on academic merit. It is therefore of the utmost importance to perform well academically as from the fi rst semester.

16.3 Fees: Accommodation and mealsAccommodation is accepted and provided for a full academic year. The University levies a basic accommodation fee, which is revised annually.

Besides an accommodation fee and a levy for meals, a student who takes up a place in a residence is required to pay a breakage deposit. This deposit is kept in a contingency fund to cover any breakage charges. The balance will be credited to the student’s compounded tuition and accommodation account when accommodation in a residence is terminated.

The estimated cost of meals if 100% of meals are taken in residence dining halls is R26 200. The initial levy for meals on a student’s fees account is R13 100 and makes provision for the cost of meals if only 50% of meals are taken in a residence dining hall.

Should a credit balance on a student’s meal account exist at the end of the study year, it will be transferred to the student’s fees account. Should it be a student’s fi nal departure from the residence, the student may apply in writing to the Client Service Centre for the credit balance on his or her fees account to be paid out.

Ad hoc meals taken in residence are also payable in advance. Resident students are able to make reservations for meals online and pay only for the meals they have reserved. Postgraduate residences and some other residences are self-catering, but students may not prepare food in their rooms.Provision has also been made for students living in TuksVillage, Olympus, Hippokrates and Tuks Naledi (residences that have self-catering facilities) to have their meals in a dining hall. These meals are also payable separately. Contact the Client Service Centre for more information.

16.7 Parking and traffi cUndergraduate students may park in designated areas outside the Hatfi eld Campus. Parking is extremely limited. Tshwane Metro Police fi nes are issued whenever student’s park illegally on sidewalks and the University cannot take any responsibility for these fi nes.

Undergraduate students may not park inside the Hatfi eld Campus during offi ce hours, but may do so from 16:30 onwards.

The offi cial student parking areas of the University are located as follows:

• corner of Burnett and Festival Streets (H17)• corner of Herold and Duxbury Streets (H29)• corner of Herold Street and Lynnwood Road (H30)

These parking areas are enclosed areas and patrolled by University of Pretoria security guards. To gain access to these areas, students must produce their student cards. Arrive early. Parking bays are non-allocated and no parking bays may be reserved.
