Overview

Our honours programmes are taught by way of lectures, with one contact session at the Bellville Park campus or in Tshwane, followed by interactive telematic teaching sessions in Stellenbosch or at other centres across South Africa and Namibia.

What we offer

The Public and Development Management (BPAHons) programme at the Stellenbosch University is presented by means of modular as well as interactive telematic education. Modular presentation comprises attending blocked contact sessions of two weeks of lectures at the campus. Presentation by means of interactive telematic education requires students to gather for lectures at once per term for each module for a whole day at an electronic study centre near their places of residence. The lectures are presented on television from a studio at Stellenbosch and transmitted by satellite to the different study centres in Southern Africa and Namibia. During the transmission, students can interact telephonically with the lecturer. During the remaining time, the students do assignments and study at home.
