GENERAL INFORMATION Selection A selection procedure takes place prior to admission to any degree programme in this Faculty. Students, who do not pass a sufficient number of modules at the end of the first year of study to be admitted to the second year of study, have to apply for re-admission. Admission Any person, who wishes to register at the University for the first time, or after an interruption of studies, should apply or re-apply for admission. Application for admission to all programmes in the Faculty of Theology closes on 30 September. Statement of symbols or academic record When registering at this University for the first time, a candidate has to submit a record of symbols obtained for each subject in the Grade 12 examination. Candidates who studied previously at other tertiary institutions have to submit an official academic record. National Senior Certificate All undergraduate candidates who enroll at the University of Pretoria for the first time, must show their original National Senior Certificate at the Student Administration of their faculty before the end of the first semester. Language of tuition In conducting its general business, the University uses two official languages, namely Afrikaans and English. In formal education, the language of tuition is either Afrikaans or English or both languages, taking the demand as well as academic justification and economic viability into consideration. However, it remains the student’s responsibility to determine in which language a module and any further level of that module is presented. This information is published annually in the Timetable book. The University reserves the right to change the language of tuition on short notice, depending on the size of the groups and the availability of lecturers. In respect of administrative and other services, a student may choose whether the University should communicate with him or her in Afrikaans or English. Bursaries and loans Particulars of bursaries and loans are available at www.up.ac.za/fao. Accommodation Applications for accommodation in university residences for a particular year should be submitted as from March 1 of the preceding year. Applications will be considered as long as vacancies exist, and prospective students are advised to apply well in advance. Please note that admission to the University does not automatically imply that lodging will also be available. Welcoming day, registration and start of the academic year Details of the welcoming day to which all parents are cordially invited, and the subsequent programme for registration and start of the academic year during which all new first-year students must be present, are obtainable from the office of the Dean of Students.

Prescribed books The lecturers will supply information regarding prescribed books at the commencement of the specific programme or module. Amendment of regulations and fees The University retains the right to amend the regulations and to change programme/ module fees without prior notification. NB: The fees advertised and thus levied in respect of a module or study programme offering represent a combination of the costs associated with the formal services rendered (for example lectures, practicals, access to laboratories, consumables used in laboratories, etc) as well as associated overheads such as the provision of library and recreation facilities, security and cleaning services, electricity and water supply, etc. Therefore the fees in respect of a module or study programme offering cannot simply be reconciled with the visible services that are rendered in respect of such module or study programme.

Definition of terms Familiarise yourself with the following terms. They are used generally in all faculties. Certain terms are only applicable to the Faculty of Theology.

academic literacy: the minimum level of conversational, reading and writing skills in English or Afrikaans needed to participate successfully in programmes of the University of Pretoria academic year: the duration of the academic year as determined by the University Council church partner: a church with which the University has concluded a formal agreement regarding the training of candidates and the provision of academic personnel church-specific: that portion of a programme or theological instruction which takes place in terms of the regulations in the Yearbook, but which deals with the specific perspective, practice or instruction requirements of a church or denominational partner colloquium doctum: an interview which the Dean, the head of department concerned and the supervisor (if required) may have with a candidate to determine his or her study background and level of scientific knowledge or competence as scholar and researcher core module: a module that is compulsory for a particular programme or package credit (or credit value): a value unit linked to particular learning activities; in the case of modules, the value is related to the complexity and the total number of learning hours needed to complete the modules successfully curriculum: a series of modules grouped together from different disciplines over a specified period of time and in a certain sequence according to the regulations denominational training: supplementary theological training which is arranged by the church partner itself, and which is not subject to the regulations in the Yearbook discipline: demarcated field of study elective (or optional) module: a module that forms part of a package and which can be selected on an elective basis, with the proviso that enough credits are obtained on the specific year level, as required by the relevant degree or diploma examination mark: the mark awarded to a student in a module on the basis of an examination in a paper/papers, including practical and clinical examinations, where applica-ble.

Learning hours for modules are calculated on the basis of 40 working hours per week x 28 weeks = 1120 + 80 additional hours for evaluation = 1200. For undergraduate modules, the total number of learning hours per module is calculated using the formula: number of credits (per module) x 10 level (or year level): an indication of the level of complexity of a module (e.g. first, second or further level) and also implies a particular credit value; the (year) level is indicated by the first digit of the module code (thus, ENG 352 is a module in the discipline English at level 3) module: a defined part of a subject which forms a whole; in this yearbook, "module" denotes a unit which extends over seven weeks, unless differently noted module code: consists of an equal number of capitals and digits, which indicate the name of the module, the year of study and the level of the module performance mark: the mark awarded to a student on the basis of tests, class work, practical work or any other work which was done in a module programme: a coherent number of modules which lead to the acquisition of a specific qualification (certificate, diploma or degree); coherent elements and actions of education and training which lead to a specific outcome or set of outcomes programme manager: the individual responsible for the overhead management, organisation and composition of a particular programme, together with the packages that make up the programme qualification: the (career-orientated) outcome of a programme which leads to a diploma or degree quarter module: denotes a unit which extends over seven weeks registration: this is the process a candidate is required to follow to become a registered student in accordance with the general requirements and regulations of the University and for the programme for which they want to register regulation for admission: includes a provision regarding the selection process semester module: denotes a unit which extends over fourteen weeks or one semester subject: a demarcated field of study of which one or more modules may be chosen syllabus: the division of the study material for a specific module, according to the regulations tentamen: an oral discussion comprising of elements of teaching and evaluation year module: a module that extends over one year (two semesters)

REGULATIONS AND CURRICULA The rules for degrees, diplomas and certificates here published are subject to change and may be amended prior to the commencement of the academic year in 2012. 1. Admission to diploma or undergraduate study 1.1 General 1.1.1 To register for a first diploma or bachelor's degree at the University, a candidate

must submit – • for admission to diploma studies, a National Senior Certificate with

admission for diploma purposes; • for admission to bachelor studies, a National Senior Certificate with

admission for degree purposes. In addition to this, the candidate must comply with the specific admission requirements as prescribed in the admission regulations and the faculty regulations of the departments. It is expected of every new undergraduate student who wishes to register at the University of Pretoria, to take the Academic literacy test. Based on the results of this test, the student will be enrolled in academic literacy modules that have to be passed before the qualification will be awarded. In exceptional circumstances other modules as approved by the Dean may substitute the academic literacy modules. NB: Grade 12 examination ... refers to the final National Senior Certificate examination.

1.1.2 The following persons may also be considered for admission: (i) A candidate who is in possession of a certificate, which is deemed by the

University to be equivalent to the required National Senior Certificate, can be considered for admission to diploma studies.

(ii) A candidate who is in possession of a certificate, which is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required National Senior Certificate with admission for degree purposes, can be considered for admission to bachelor’s degree studies.

(iii) Note: A conditional exemption certificate issued by HESA does not grant admission to bachelor's degree study. However, in certain circumstances some of the faculties do accept a conditional exemption on the basis of mature age issued by HESA. Candidates are advised to contact the specific student administration of a faculty in this regard.

(iv) A candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted the status of a graduate of such an institution can be considered for admission to undergraduate studies.

(v) A candidate who passes the institutional proficiency test (National Benchmark Test), which is prescribed by the University from time to time, can be considered for admission to the relevant programme.

Abovementioned candidates are requested to contact the faculty concerned for more information regarding admission requirements.

1.1.3 Senate may limit the number of students allowed to register for a programme, in which case the Dean concerned may, at his own discretion, select from the students who qualify for admission, those who may be admitted.

1.1.4 Subject to faculty regulations and the stipulations of General Regulations G.1.3 and G.26, a candidate will only be admitted to postgraduate bachelor’s studies, if he or she is already in possession of a recognised bachelor’s degree.

1.2 Admission requirements for the Faculty of Theology To be able to gain access to a faculty and specific programmes, prospective students require the appropriate combinations of recognised NSC subjects as well as certain levels of achievement in the said subjects. In this regard the determination of an Admission Point Score (APS) is explained and a summary of the faculty specific requirements per programme and the specific subjects required per programme is provided.

Determination of an Admission Point Score (APS) The calculation is simple and based on a candidate’s achievement in six 20-credit recognised subjects by using the NSC ratings, which is the “1 to 7 scale of achievement”. Thus, the highest APS that can be achieved is 42. Life Orientation is excluded from the calculation determining the APS required for admission.

Rating code Rating Marks %

7 Outstanding achievement 80-100% 6 Meritorious achievement 70-79% 5 Substantial achievement 60-69% 4 Adequate achievement 50-59% 3 Moderate achievement 40-49% 2 Elementary achievement 30-39% 1 Not achieved 0-29%

Provisional admission is based on the results obtained in the final Grade 11 examination. Final admission is based on Grade 12 results. Please note

: The final Grade 12 results will be the determining factor with regard to admission.

Candidates with an APS lower than required, could be considered for admission to the faculty if they meet the additional assessment criteria specified by the faculty from time to time. Preference will, however, be given to students who comply with the regular admission requirements of the faculty.

Alternative admission channels

1.3 Specific admission requirements for the Faculty of Theology

a) A valid National Senior Certificate with admission for degree purposes. b) The minimum APS is 25 for admission to degree studies and 22 for

admission to diploma studies. c) The following minimum subject and level requirements, including four

subjects with a 20 credit value each, chosen from the designated subject list and with a minimum rating of 4 (50-59%) for degree purposes and a rating of 3 (40-49%) for diploma purposes.

d) One of the four subjects chosen from the designated list must be either Afrikaans or English, the medium of instruction at the University.

e) Life Orientation is excluded when calculating the APS.

Note: • The applications of candidates whose Grade 11 marks do not meet the

admission requirements, but who do comply with the above requirements in the Grade 12 examinations, will be reconsidered on request, based on their results in the institutional proficiency test and only if there are places available in the Faculty, and on condition that the candidates applied for admission prior to 30 September of the previous year.

• Candidates who are admitted provisionally on the basis of their Grade 11 results, retain their admission after sitting for the Grade 12 examinations, only if they obtain an NSC with admission for degree purposes and comply with all of the above requirements.

1.4 Requirements for specific modules A student who registers for a module which is offered by another faculty, must familiarise him- or herself with the admission requirements for the particular modules (see yearbook of that faculty), as well as subminima for examinations, supplementary examinations, etc. See T.13 (from p 47) for module prerequisites and credit values.

2. Registration for a particular year of study At the beginning of an academic year, a student registers for all the modules he or she intends taking in that particular year (whether these are first-semester, second-semester or year modules). Changes to the selection of modules may be made at the beginning of the second semester with the Dean's approval. A student may only register for modules that will fit in on the lecture, test and examination timetables. If a module does not attract enough registrations in order to be presented economically, the Dean may decide to withdraw it. The affected students will be informed in time to enable them to register for an alternative module.

3. Module credits for unregistered students There are students who attend lectures, write tests and examinations and in this manner earn “marks”, but have either not registered for modules or have not registered as students at all. These marks will not be communicated to any student before he/she has provided proof of enrolment. A student cannot obtain any credits in a specific academic year for a module “passed” in this manner during a previous academic year and for which he/she was not registered. This arrangement applies even where the student is prepared to pay the tuition fees.

Theology 2012

4. Examination admission and pass requirements A performance mark of at least 40% is required in order to be admitted to the

examination in a module, with the exception of first-semester modules at 100-level for which the requirement is at least 30%. Excluding cases where faculty regulations require a higher percentage, a subminimum of at least 40% is required in the examination in each module. A final mark of at least 50% is required to pass. The pass mark for a mini-dissertation is at least 50%. The stipulations of G.60.2.1.2(a) regarding pass requirements for dissertations apply mutatis mutandis to mini-dissertations.

4.1 Subminima in examinations Where applicable, the subminima required in examinations appear in the regulations of the qualification in question and in the syllabi of the modules required for that qualification.

4.2 Examinations The examinations for modules take place at the end of such modules. The examinations for semester modules take place at the end of the semester. The examinations for year modules take place in October/November, except where such modules are presented according to a block system, in which case the examinations take place at the end of the particular block period.

4.3 Ancillary examinations After completion of an examination and before the examination results are published, the examiners may summon a student for an ancillary examination on particular aspects of the work of that module.

4.4 Re-marking of examination papers (also consult Gen Reg G.14) After an examination, departments give feedback to students about the framework used by the examiners during the examination. The heads of department determine the feedback process. Students may apply for re-marking of an examination paper within 14 calendar days of commencement of lectures in the next semester. The prescribed fee has to be paid. The paper will then be re-marked by an examiner appointed by the head of the department.

4.5 Supplementary examinations (a) Supplementary examinations take place after the regular examinations, as

scheduled by the Dean. (b) To pass a supplementary examination, a student must obtain a minimum of

50%. (c) The highest final percentage a student can obtain in a supplementary

examination is 50%.

4.6 Special examinations A student who has complied with all the requirements for a degree, with the exception of a maximum of four semester or two year modules in which a final mark of at least 40% has been obtained, may be admitted to a special examination at any time prior to the scheduled examinations in the relevant modules. See also General Regulations G12.4 and G12.6.

4.7 Examination policy The examination policy of the Faculty of Theology is available on request. It is displayed on the official notice boards in the Theology Building and is brought to the students’ attention from time to time.

T.1 Programmes in the Faculty of Theology leading to diplomas and degrees (a) General

The programmes of the Faculty of Theology are aimed at theological training with a view to church ministry.

Other programmes, which are offered in co-operation with church partner, offer both generally formative and church-specific formative theological training.

The programmes can be divided into two further categories: (i) those meant for early specialisation [BA (Theology), BAHons (Theology),

leading to MA (Theology), PhD] (ii) those offering a broad, general education to a reasonably advanced stage,

before focussing on a specific field of specialisation and research [BTh, MDiv, MTh, leading to DD].

(b) Degrees and diplomas

The following diploma and degrees are offered in the Faculty (minimum duration of study given in brackets). (i) University Diploma in Theology – [DipTheol] (3 years) (ii) Bachelor of Arts in Theology) – [BA (Theology)] (3 years) (iii) Bachelor of Arts Honours in Theology – [BAHons (Theology)] (1 year) (iv) Bachelor of Theology – [BTh] (4 years) (v) Master of Philosophy in Applied Theology – [MPhil in Applied Theology)] (2 years) (vi) Master of Divinity – [MDiv] (2 years) (vii) Master of Arts in Theology – [MA (Theology)] (1 year) (viii) Master of Theology – [MTh] (2 years) (ix) Doctor of Philosophy – [PhD] (2 years) (x) Doctor of Divinity – [DD] (2 years). General Regulations G.1 to G.15 apply to a bachelor’s degree, G.22 to honours studies and G.36 and G.51 to master’s and doctoral studies.

(c) Computer literacy

The Faculty of Theology regards computer literacy as an important skill which students have to master during their studies. It is therefore compulsory for new students to register for and pass the module Academic information management AIM 101 (AIM 111 and AIM 121 for the Diploma in Theology) to become computer literate.

The outcome which the programme aims to achieve, is theoretically supported formation aimed at a broad spectrum of ministerial needs. For this purpose certain elements of the programme are presented in partnership with churches that bought into the programme. A student who registers for this programme has to submit his or her curriculum to the Dean for approval at the beginning of each year.

PRESENT CURRICULUM (to be phased out)

(a) General This programme provides theological training and formation aimed at the needs of churches. It comprises two aspects, namely a general denominational aspect and a specific denominational aspect. The structure of the programme is determined by a balance between the Biblical scientific, historical systematic and applied dimensions of the field of Theology. The outcome which the programme aims to achieve, is theoretically supported formation aimed at a broad spectrum of ministerial needs. For this purpose certain elements of the programme are presented in partnership with churches that bought into the programme. The programme offers the option to include non-theological modules. A student who registers for this programme has to submit his or her curriculum to the programme coordinator for approval at the beginning of each year.

(b) Duration

Four years. (c) Curriculum

This programme has a prescribed curriculum with a limited number of electives which must be completed. The following table indicates the minimum credit values allowed in the curriculum. However, in practice the credit values may be higher, especially when modules from other faculties are included which have higher credit values.
