CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE – DR RUTH MUBANGA

Congratulations on your decision to undertake your studies with us at the

University of Africa or for considering to do so. The decision to pursue

further studies is a big step forward that requires careful consideration.

Making a career choice can feel overwhelming in today’s fast changing

world where there is a demand for graduates of high calibre who possess

21st Century skills. Today’s competitive job market enhances the need for

a good degree from a reputable institution such as ours with a proven

track record and the ability to improve at a great pace. I am proud to be

associated with the University of Africa and am confident that you will find

in it an institution that is always striving to bring out the best in all its

members, student-focused, continuously improving and innovating, while

maintaining high standards of quality.

I recently received the compliment from a visiting consultant who has worked widely internationally that

she has never met a team so able to adapt to such a fast rate of improvement as the University of Africa

team has done over the past couple of years. Continuous improvement has become a way of life and it

has become deeply ingrained in the culture of the University. This is an important skill to have mastered

in an unpredictable world. And so, when joining the University of Africa, you are also joining a team that

is continuously evolving, thinking and moving forward. At University of Africa we provide an enjoyable,

safe, caring, supportive and intellectually stimulating environment. Studying with us will be rewarding,

stimulating and a life changing experience as our courses prepare you for professional life, in line with our

motto Empowerment Towards Development.

In February 2017, the University of Africa became part of the leading private education provider in Africa,

the AdvTech group. This is a group of companies that takes pride in harnessing state of the art technology

and providing students with the highest standards of education. This partnership will enable us to liaise

with a wide variety of high quality institutions and academics within the group to give the best value to

our students.

My highlight of every year is graduation

day when I have the privilege of awarding

diplomas and degrees to hundreds of

smiling faces as their proud families look

on. I hope that soon I will have the

privilege to do the same for you. I wish you

all the best with your studies.

2. THE UNIVERSITY OF AFRICA ADVANTAGE

Register at any time of the semester or year. This means that if issues such as finances, work pressures or family issues prevent you from registering, you do not need to wait until January or June to start. studiesstudies.

Continuous registration

throughout the year

Our philosophy is that a student can rather progress at a slower pace, as their finances allow, than not have the opportunity to study at all. For this reason, we allow students more time to complete their studies.

Tuition Fees are spread out over the course of the semester to make

Flexible, affordable and competitive

payment arrangements

You have access to a wide range of text books, research articles and other

supporting information sources from across the globe via our Electronic Resource Centre and Campus Library.

Physical and

Electronic Library

Four examination sessions per year facilitate progress without compromising quality. This compliments the fact that students can register and start their studies any time during the year. It also assists students, who have had to delay their studies due to personal reasons, to start again as soon as they are able.

Exams as you go

We have a culture of continuously optimising our operations in order to make education accessible to the wider community. In this way, the University of Africa has consistently maintained competitive tuition fees, while not forsaking quality of service delivery.

Lower study costs

With distance and part time studies, you can study whilst earning an income. Three further advantages of studying while working are: continue building a career; apply your learning at your workplace and better understand the context in which your studies will be applied.

Learn while you earn

With our distance learning programmes, a student can take up a job anywhere or relocate for other reasons without interrupting his or her studies – even across borders. This ensures continuity of effort and saves on registration and tuition fees at new institutions.

Seamless locality – not place bound

In partnership with the AdvTech Group, we have embarked on a major programme of harnessing the latest technology in education for the benefits of our students. This will improve customer service, simplify logistics and enhance connectivity.

5. FACULTY OF EDUCATION

5.1 Introduction The University of Africa is well established in the field of Education and has graduated more than 600

teachers since its accreditation in 2008. The Faculty of Education is now by far the largest faculty in the

University of Africa, with a rapidly increasing student base.

The Faculty of Education has excellent and passionate staff and offers a wide range of Education

qualifications ranging from Diploma to PhD. These qualifications cover the fields of Early Childhood

Development, Primary Education and Secondary Education, with various specialisations available.

The qualifications intend to empower learners with skills and competencies to function in both the private

and public education environments. The qualification will also cater for the careers of learners who are in

employment and will further prepare learners for further post-graduate study.

The programmes offer students the opportunity to study education critically through the academic

disciplines of sociology, philosophy, history and psychology, with ample focus on pedagogy and didactics.

This in turn develops learners with critical thinking skills that are highly transferable to a wide range of

careers.

The exit levels of the degrees offered are organised in terms of five components:

Fundamental Learning - to develop students’ skills in areas such as literacy and numeracy in order to

enhance competence in learning mediation, assessment and management/administration;

Subject and Content of Teaching - focusing on equipping students with skills, values and attitudes needed

for development as an educator;

Teaching and Learning - to enable students to deal with general learning and teaching issues and

processes to enhance the student’s roles as mediator, administrator, leader, interpreter and designer of

learning programs and materials, as well as for pastoral roles;

School and the Profession - to equip students for their roles as managers/leaders, particularly when

dealing with issues outside day to day classroom situations which, nonetheless, influence what happens

in the classroom;

9

Subject focus - that is to equip students to provide quality teaching in a specific field and discipline. Apart

from a module to understand the methodology of delivering the relevant field and discipline, these

programs also offer intensive knowledge of the specific fields.

8. MASTER’S DEGREES

8.1 Master’s by Research The University of Africa strongly promotes research and is proud of the body of work its students have

produced to date. Master’s by research is an excellent way to not add to this body of work, but also to

the promotion of a body work created in Africa by Africans.

Doing a Master’s by Research also allows the student to expand his knowledge and thinking in an area

which the student is passionate about and would like to specialise in.

Please speak to the Faculty Dean for further information on this exciting and important direction.

In addition to Master’s by research, the University of Africa also presents taught Master’s degrees. These
