The qualification in Genetics is designed to equip learners with analytical reasoning, communication and computer literacy skills necessary to enter the ever-expanding arena of Genetics research and Genetics business. Learners are encouraged to develop a holistic approach to the identification and strategic solution of real-life problems, recognising the interdisciplinary nature of most of the challenges facing Genetics. As applied scientists, learners find employment as specialists in government departments, education, private consultancies, large-scale plant and animal production and improvement operations, biotechnological companies, research operations and their own business.

Purpose:

- To provide graduates with specialised knowledge in the allied fields of Geography and Environmental Management through study in depth.

Purpose:

The purpose of the interdisciplinary specialisation is to provide the qualifiers with advanced knowledge and skills to apply the methods and techniques of geo-information management to problem-solving activities in various application areas such as environmental sciences, environmental management, planning, engineering, business, utilities, health, education, etc.

This qualification has the purpose of teaching the learner how to apply basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills, inherent in the prerequisite Bachelor of Science (Geology) qualification, to an integrated study of holistic geological science, with a view to preparing the graduate for registration as a professional earth scientist, competent to work as a mining geologist, exploration geologist, or a groundwater geologist. The Honours qualification aims to bridge the gap between basic theoretical knowledge (obtained in the Bachelor of Science qualification) and the practice of geological science in the workplace situation.

The minimum requirement for registration as a professional geologist in South Africa is an Honours degree in Geology. The first purpose of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Geology) is, therefore, to enable the qualifiers to register as Professional Geologists.

Purpose:

To provide graduates with a specialised knowledge in Geological Sciences through study in depth: - To equip them with the practical and applied knowledge of research methodology and to produce in them the ability to solve problems, both independently and in teams, relating to areas of geology of ore deposits by the use of appropriate theory, methods and techniques in the Geological Sciences.

Purpose:

The purpose of Bachelor of Science Honours in Geology is to consolidate and deepen the learners expertise and competencies to understand and apply advanced methods and techniques in the geological or earth sciences fields in South African and internationally. This qualification is for leaners who want to enter the Geological or Earth Science professions. In addition, the deeper level knowledge in the qualification is essential for learners who intend pursuing higher research Degrees.

Purpose:

Provide graduates with inter-disciplinary knowledge and applied competence in the scientific and health aspects of indigenous herbs that have medicinal and nutritional value.

To provide qualifiers with:

The purpose of this qualification is to produce learners who understand the physical and environmental fundamentals of hydrological processed and their interrelations in order that they can apply hydrological models in sustainable integrated water resources management and planning, under varying environmental conditions.
