Higher Education in South Africa Study Abroad South Africa. The higher education system consists of State Universities, a Technikon sector and a College sector. The Higher Education Act (December 1997) provides for the appointment of a Registrar of Private Higher Education Institutions and a number of private institutions have registered or are in the process of registering in terms of these provisions. The South African universities offer Bachelor, Bachelor Honours, Master and Doctorate Degrees, as well as Undergraduate and Postgraduate Diplomas. Course work is structured in modules, with students registering in a unit/credit system. Technikons and Universities, as autonomous institutions, are subsidized by the Department of Education, and provide training at the post senior certificate level. Technikon courses lead to National Diplomas and Certificates and as from 1995 to Degrees with a minimum duration of four years. The Certification Council for Technikons (SERTEC) is responsible for conferring Technikon Diplomas. The Higher Education Act stipulates that higher education at Universities, Technikons and Colleges comes directly under the responsibility of the national government, whilst further education colleges report to the nine provincial governments. It has recently been planned to reduce the number of Colleges of Education and to incorporate them in the higher education system. In most cases they will be linked to universities and technical institutes. Languages of instruction: Afrikaans, English |
