The University of Pretoria is a public higher education institution established in terms of the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of
1997). It is a research intensive institution that offers first and advanced degrees as well as diplomas and certificates of higher
learning. The programmes that are offered have been accredited by the Higher Education Quality Committee of the Council on
Higher Education, established in terms of the Higher Education Act.
2. Accreditation of degrees
The Council for Higher Education (CHE) and the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) approves the presentation of the
degree and it is registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) as they are the body that does quality control
on qualifications.
As from 2000, the University of Pretoria started phasing in a new system of teaching that meets the requirements and guidelines
set by SAQA (the South African Qualification Authority) and the NQF (National Qualifications Framework). This system entails
learning programmes that are outcomes-based and market oriented. Since 2001 this new system has also been implemented in
the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences.
3. Duration of courses and modules
Year modules/courses are covered in 28 weeks, Semester modules/courses are covered in 14 weeks and Quarter modules are
covered in 7 weeks.
4. Duration of classes
Lectures, discussion classes, tutorials and seminars are 50 minutes in length. Practicals are 3 hours long unless otherwise
specified.
5. Module codes
A module is an independent, defined learning unit (normally presented over seven weeks) which is a component of a package
or programme.
The module code is a unique alphanumeric code for a module. It consists of a fixed number of capitals (the alphacode) which
indicate the name of the discipline (e.g. APL for Anthropology), and numeric combinations which identify the year-level and the
order in a series of modules (e.g. 152, where the 1 shows that the module is presented at the first year-level, the 5 shows that it
is a module, and the 2 shows that it is the second module in the series of Anthropology modules at that level).
6. Learning hours
The calculated number of hours, which a student is perceived to use to master the learning content of a specified course of
programme. The total number of learning hours of a course comprises the time taken up by lectures, practicals, self-tuition and
any other activity required according to the training programme. Learning hours of courses are normally calculated on the basis
of 40 working hours per week x 28 week = 1120 + 80 additional hours for evaluation = 1200. For undergraduate courses, the
total number of learning hours for a course is calculated according to the formula: number of credits of the course x 10.
7. Credits
A number of credits allocated to each course which represents the amount of work and the extent of the course.

academically and economically justifiable. However, it remains the student's responsibility to ascertain on an annual basis in

4. Registration for a particular year of study
(Also consult General Regulation G.2)
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 be 7-, 14- or 28-week modules). Changes to the chosen curriculum may be made at the beginning of the second
semester with the Dean's approval. A student may also only register for modules that fit into the lecture, test and examination
timetables. For renewal of registration, see General Regulation G.3. and for termination of registration, General Regulation G.4.
5. 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.
6. Pass requirements
A final mark of at least 50% in a module is required to pass. Also consult General Regulation G.10.
6.1 Subminima in examinations
Subminimum required in all examination papers is 40%.
6.2 Examinations
The minimum semester mark to be admitted to a first-semester module on 100- level is 30%, and the semester/year mark for
admission to an examination in all other modules is 40%. The examinations for first-semester modules take place in May/June,
while all other examinations (second-semester modules and year modules) take place in October/ November (also consult
General Regulation G.12). As far as repetition of modules is concerned, General Regulation G.11.2 (c) does not apply to this
Faculty.
6.3 Ancillary examinations
After completion of an examination and before the examination results are announced, the examiners may summon a student
for an ancillary examination on particular aspects of the work of that module.
6.4 Re-marking of examination papers
After an examination, departments give feedback to students about the framework that was used by the examiners during the
examination. The way in which feedback is given, is determined by the heads of department. Students may apply for remarking
of an examination paper after perusal and 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 (also
consult General Regulation G.14).

(KOB 310) Communication Management 310 – 3 lectures per week
(Semester module– 20 credits)
Strategic communication management
Integrated Communication (IC) presupposes the alignment and subsequent implementation of the enterprise, corporate and
corporate communication strategies of the organisation. The corporate positioning that results from these strategies is
communicated through the organisation's unique reputation, image, identity and brand. Environmental scanning furthermore
enables the organisation to identify and address issues, risks and possible crises that can influence this positioning. Current
corporate governance thinking supports the principle of a symbiotic relationship between business and society by emphasising
economic, environmental and social sustainability (the triple bottom-line). This culminates in a new realisation of the
organisation's corporate social responsibility and its role as a corporate citizen. Ethics in strategic management are highlighted
and applicable research techniques are analysed.
(KOB 320) Communication Management 320 – 3 lectures per week
(Semester module– 20 credits)
Strategic relationship management
The strategic management of internal and external relationships is essential for the organisation's 'licence to operate'.
Stakeholder theories provide a framework for managing relationships with stakeholders such as employees, investors, media
and the government. The growing significance and potential impact of activism on organisational performance, justifies the
management of such pressure groups through communication. Deontological and teleological ethical approaches are
11. Walters, M
10
investigated in the strategic management of relationships. The complexity of ethical decision making in the modern business
environment, as well as anti-ethics and African ethics amongst others, is also studied. Perception, social and stakeholder audits
are examples of idiosyncratic research designs undertaken in strategic reputation management.
