The Bachelor of Journalism and Media Technology Degree replaced the Bachelor of Journalism and Communication Technology Degree currently registered on the NQF. The programme has been revised to ensure its continued relevance, as well as full compliance with the Curriculum Framework and National Qualifications Framework (NQF) requirements.

The PhD in Informatics was conceptualised against the backdrop of the above imperatives in order to train scientific researchers in various fields of study related to Informatics (e.g. Business Informatics and Web Informatics). Students will develop a thorough understanding of relevant methodological approaches, and develop competence in the application of qualitative, design, mixedmode and quantitative research methodologies through participation in research projects under the supervision of experienced staff members.

The Master of Informatics programme is of interdisciplinary nature and is aimed at students interested in, and adequately qualified and motivated, for graduate education to become scientific researchers in various fields of study related to Informatics. In this context, Informatics is defined as the study of the structure and behaviour of natural and artificial systems that generate, process, store, and communicate information. Informatics also includes the study of the cognitive, social, legal, and economic impact of such information systems.

The Bachelor of Informatics Honours is a postgraduate specialisation degree that aims at providing educational opportunities for students who are interested in and motivated to work as Web and Business Informatics Specialists or related practices. This programme is purposefully designed to develop students’ ability to conduct supervised research by applying advanced concepts, theories, tools, and methods of Informatics

The Postgraduate Certificate in Informatics (Information Systems Audit) programme is primarily designed to provide students with deeper insight, intellectual and cognitive skills related to their professional field and area of employment and help them to advance their career of choice.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Information and Communications Technology Policy and Regulation Level 8 (PGC-ICTPR) aims to equip students with skills, techniques and understanding required for successful careers in technology management, ICT regulation and policy enactment in the public and private sectors of the economy.

The PhD in Computer Science was conceptualized against the backdrop of the above imperatives in order to train scientific researchers in various fields of study related to Computer Science (e.g. Communication Networks, Software Development, Mobile Development, Information Security and Forensic Computing).

The Master of Computer Science programme is of interdisciplinary nature and aims at students interested in, and adequately qualified and motivated, for graduate education to become scientific researchers in various fields of study related to Computer Science. In this regard, the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board (CSAB) defines Computer Science as focusing on the ‘theory of computation, algorithms and data structures, programming methodology and languages, and computer elements and architecture’

The Bachelor of Computer Science Honours is a postgraduate specialisation degree that aims at consolidating and deepening the knowledge and skills of students in the main cognate area of learning, as well as developing their capacity to conduct supervised research of an applied nature. The programme is purposefully designed to expose students to advanced concepts, theories, tools, and methods of Computer Science

The Bachelor of Informatics aims at providing educational opportunities for students who are interested and motivated to work as Informatics Specialists or in related practices. This programme is purposefully designed to provide skilful, competent and motivated graduates for the increasing and numerous challenging tasks of Informatics in the country and the region at large.
