their capping at the hallowed graduation ceremony, our students undergo an intellectual evolution.

chemistry and processing associated with the principle dyeing, printing, and finishing stages of manufacture.
In the final year students specialize in either the ‘wet’ or the ‘dry’ side of the industry. The Dry side covers a range of specialized
manufacturing processes, including the principle yarn manufacturing methods and woven fabric manufacturing routes and product
engineering.
The Wet side covers the chemistry and processing associated with the dyeing, printing, and finishing stages of manufacture, as
well as colour physics and polymer chemistry.

In addition, this qualification includes other important areas of knowledge, such as textile testing, product development, and some
management content. The program is designed to prepare students with a broad range of textile knowledge, to provide entrance into
the extremely diverse local textile manufacturing operations. Graduates of the diploma would be able to display scientific knowledge
and technical qualities appropriate to the manufacturing environment and demonstrate environmental responsibilities.
Working Conditions
The textile industry includes some state-of-the-art local manufacturing units with challenging opportunities for technicians in the
field of fabric manufacture. A Textile Science graduate may work in a textile mill or factory, a laboratory or for a retailer.
Personal Qualities Required
Textile Science involves teamwork; therefore, one needs to be able to work and co-operate with colleagues.
A scientific background is important as well as an aptitude for design work. It is necessary to have a working knowledge and understanding of
the basics of textiles and clothing.

Career opportunities
Excellent opportunities exist in various divisions within textile manufacturing and associated companies such as planning production, fabric
development, marketing, and quality control departments as well as major fashion retail stores and government sectors. Promotion routes after
further study and work experience may in due course lead to senior appointments in production and marketing areas of the manufacturing
industry, Clothing industry, Salesperson and Advisor.

Diploma in Clothing Management
NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 105108
Qualification Code: DICLM1

Location: Steve Biko Campus (S5 & S6 Level 4)

Description of the Programme

The qualification in Clothing Management is designed to prepare individuals for a wide range of specialist career opportunities in the apparel and
related industries, retail sector and the informal sector. This qualification develops students’ knowledge and skills relating to the technology of
sewn products. This includes design development and production through to sales, as well as the management and business skills required for a
career in the apparel industry.

FAQs
1. Is there a future for the clothing industry?
The SA apparel industry is stabilising and expecting to begin to grow as it is one of main SA industries offering employment opportunities.
With a very high unemployment rate in SA, government is looking to the Clothing Industry to assist in this and to contribute to growing the
SA economy. This is driving demand for top students/ candidates looking for challenging careers in many different types of jobs.

2. Do I need Maths or other subjects for this course?

Maths is not a prerequisite for the programme, but you will battle significantly if you have difficulties with numeracy. Everything we
do is based in numbers whether it is units of time, money, or measurements. Please refer to our entrance requirements contained
in this leaflet. Due to the high demand for this programme, we recommend you have at least 26 Matric points to be considered.
Industry experience is advantageous.

3. So, is this course only about sewing?

Sewing is a small area of what we do —there are four subject areas —each adding to the holistic knowledge you will need
to succeed. These areas focus around the following:
• Product: Everything relating to one product; design, development, sourcing fabric/trim, making the pattern and product
to required quality standards.
• Process: Apparel manufacturing processes including cutting room and production floor supervision, quality, and
work- study.
• Business: Economics, entrepreneurship, marketing, retail, supervisory management an industrial relation

4. Can I do Clothing Management without doing art at school?

Yes - we will teach you how to do technical drawings to be able to record all critical data visually.

5. So, are you training us to become machinists?

No, we are educating you about the practical and theoretical aspects of producing sewn products. However, in order to
manage a business or a technical team in the clothing industry or retail environment, you need to be able to instruct/manage
people how to sew.

6. How is Clothing Management different from Fashion Design?

Although we do the designing or clothing (and other sewn products), our focus is on the business or technical aspects. Where
are we going to get the raw material? Who is going to buy it? How much will they pay? Can we produce this product at the
correct quality? Can we make money on this product? Rather than the creative artistic conceptual design process.
7. How many applications do you receive for how many places?
We get about 900 applications for 35 places.

8. What are your Programme Highlights?

• DUT has been educating clothing technologists for nearly 40 years. Alumni are well known in the South African
industry, and many have travelled to join overseas companies.
• We have strong industry links and qualified staff with expert experience.
• We have collaborated with Gerber Technology – the leading industry software for patternmaking, grading and marker
making.
• We have a well-equipped sewing floor with computerized equipment and a carefully designed training programme to
ensure students produce sewn products to industry specifications.
• We do research in niche areas e.g., Sizing and Micro-Small enterprises

Career opportunities
There are job opportunities in the apparel and other related industries for graduates in management, product development, production,
work-study, planning, quality, garment technology and other areas.
Employment in South Africa is available in four main industrial sectors:
• formal manufacturers (established apparel manufacturers),
• informal sector (small to micro enterprises and entrepreneurs),
P a g e 37 | 159
 • retail (centralised buying and store management), and
• allied industries (footwear, training, selling equipment and computers). Opportunities also exist for self-employment.

Further Studies
After completing the Diploma in Clothing Management graduates may apply to enter the Advanced Diploma in Apparel
Technology. Graduates can pursue further qualifications in management, entrepreneurship, retail, quality, or education. Significant
opportunities also exist for self-employment.

Diploma in Sustainable Horticulture and Landscaping

NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 97807
Qualification Code: DISLD1

Location: ML Sultan Campus (Block B 5th Floor)

Description of the Programme

One of the most rapid growth areas in the field of agriculture is that of horticulture. Horticulture includes producing, processing
and marketing fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants (turf grass, flowers, shrubs and trees grown and used for their beauty).
Landscape horticulture includes the production, marketing, and maintenance of landscape plants.

Ranging from simple garden design to more sophisticated architectural designs, landscaping involves the organizing and enriching
outdoor space by placing plants and structures in an agreeable and useful relationship with the nature. Sustainable horticulture
and Landscaping are dependent on a well-maintained biodiversity. Hence, biodiversity conservation is an integral aspect of
P a g e 43 | 159
horticulture with a major focus on plant conservation and landscape restoration.
The three-year diploma course in Sustainable Horticulture and Landscaping is aimed at producing graduates who are competent
to plan, develop and manage sustainable plant nurseries and landscapes in a variety of contexts (commercial, community, and
amenity), while ensuring sustainable and effective use of natural resources. It will empower young people with the necessary skills
set to create and maintain sustainable environments within the various strata of South African society. The first two years are
spent in formal study while the third year involves a six-month period of structured practical learning at the department’s School
of Horticulture training facility and a further six-month integrated learning project with suitable industry mentors developing the
required competencies.
The Durban University of Technology has a long experience in preparing young people for entry into the horticultural industry.
The function of the DUT is to provide professional and technical training as well as facilities to enable students to study their
particular subjects and gain maximum benefit. It is for this reason that at Durban University of Technology, all the horticultural
aspects of the course are taught in the context of practical reality.

Career opportunities
There are various sources of employment for individuals trained in horticultural practices and Landscaping. These businesses include
greenhouses, nurseries, Garden Centre’s, golf courses, municipal parks departments, government departments, orchards, floral design shops,
grounds maintenance operations, vegetable and fruit production and marketing, or self- employment. Horticulturists also work in the
wholesale or retail trade (sales), as researchers, Ground’s superintendents or Green Keepers.

Bachelor of Applied Arts in Screen Arts and Technology

NQF Level: 7
SAQA ID: 112050
Qualification Code: BASAT1

Location: City Campus

Description of the Programme

The Bachelor of Applied Arts in Screen Arts and Technology prepares individuals to work in the television industry as programme-
makers. Classes take the form of both theory and practical projects. Areas of learning include researching, scripting, set design,
camera operation, lighting, sound mixing, vision mixing, editing, production management and directing. Projects completed include
documentaries, commercials, music videos, dramas, studio-based magazine programmes and sitcoms, and outside broadcasts. This
is a 3-year, full-time qualification and includes the following focus areas:

P a g e 51 | 159
Introduction to Television
Students are given an overview of the various types of programme categories and the stages to follow when producing a
programme. The responsibilities of the various crew involved are explained, as well as typical TV Studio protocol. Signal
distribution in TV Studios and outside broadcasts is covered. Practical sessions in the TV Studio provide opportunities to put the
theory knowledge into practice.

Camera and Lighting

Students are given a solid grounding in the operation of the video camera. Camera optics, electronics, aesthetics and composition
form the backbone of this component.

Editing
Students learn how to operate digital non-linear suites in a technically proficient manner. It is essential that the editor understands
and knows how to use the principles of continuity, pace, rhythm, structure, and mood.

Sound
Understanding microphones, mixers, and the nature of sound collection and manipulation are essential for the soundman. Students
acquire these skills and get the opportunity to work with digital sound mixers.

Computers
Everyone needs to be computer literate. Students start with the basics of computer operations in first year and move on to apply
these skills to video editing.

Electronics
Student are given an insight into the world of electronics and electricity and enhances an understanding of how television works
so that you are better able to understand future trends. In the process, students will be able to identify the building blocks, which
make up the video signal transmission system.

Production Management
Television production is a business. Any business needs to be efficiently managed. All facets of production management are covered
including selection of personnel, script breakdown, budgeting, and scheduling.

Script Writing
A television production can only be as good as the script. The scriptwriter is involved in visualising the action and is not just
concerned with writing words. A good scriptwriter thinks of pictures first, before words. Students learn skills to assist with the
writing of drama, documentary, magazine, and corporate scripts.

Film and TV Appreciation and Development

These modules cover the history and development of film and television, both in South Africa and globally. You will gain an
understanding of genres and classic films and series. You will learn about famous and infamous directors and their contribution to
the development of the art.

Communication
Good communication skills are essential to survival in the workplace. You will focus on written and oral communication, how to
work in a group and how better to understand your colleagues.

Practical Television Production

Students produce a complete cross-section of programmes during the three-year degree, working in the studio and on both single
camera and multi-camera location shoots. Productions include documentaries, dramas, magazine inserts, sports coverage, game
shows, sit-coms, dramas, music videos, commercials, and reality shows.

Directing
The director is the creative guiding force who shapes the production. The director co-ordinates her/his team and is able to get
the very best out of both actors and crew. These creative and inter-personal skills are developed in a variety of production
projects from first year through to third year.

Who is The Staff?

The lecturing staff has substantial hands-on experience in television production, gleaned both locally and abroad. Staff continues
to involve themselves in production and post-production and this, in turn, enriches the lectures given to students. In addition,
guest speakers are invited to speak to students about their area of specialization.

Once you are accepted to study Video Technology at DUT you will be at the only tertiary institution in South Africa that specialises
in training for the television industry and that covers all three major areas of television production, namely Studio, Single Camera
(ENG) and Outside Broadcast, with dedicated, on-site facilities. The focus is on programme making and gaining the necessary skills
P a g e 52 | 159
to produce broadcast quality material. Students need academic, artistic and technical skills to succeed.

Everything you see on television has to be dreamt up, imagined, planned and produced. Dramas, documentaries, soap operas,
music videos, game shows, sports, reality shows and more, all have to be created by a team of highly skilled people. These are the
directors, producers, writers, camera operators, sound people, editors, production managers and others who make television
possible. Without their skills and talents, the screen would remain an empty frame.

The Department of Video Technology at Durban University of Technology (DUT) has been producing graduates for the television
industry for more than twenty years. We have a reputation for excellence, borne out by the quality and calibre of our graduates
who have gone on to establish reputations for themselves in this highly competitive industry.

Career opportunities
Graduates have been employed by SABC, Super sport, Survivor, etc. Some graduates have opened their own businesses, and some
become directors, camera operators, writers, and production managers.

Bachelor of Journalism
NQF Level: 7
SAQA ID: 111451
Qualification Code: BAJRN1

Location: City Campus

Description of the Programme

A journalist gathers processes and presents news and current affairs material in the public interest for broad audience consumption.
Media channels include radio, television, online, newspapers and magazines in beats such as Africa, arts, business, courts and crime,
culture, health, human rights, fashion, labour, politics, sport, technology, travel, and tourism. Editorial positions offer exciting
career development potential. Freelance journalists can enjoy greater flexibility in their work.

Personal Qualities Required

The following skills and values are essential for good journalism practice.
Excellent English language skills, both spoken and written. Journalists who are fluent in more than one language enjoy greatly
improved working opportunities. Journalists require a strong work ethic and should be committed to the constitutional principles
of freedom of expression. Highly literate with strong analytical skills. A street-wise sense about social behaviours. Good general
knowledge. Good memory.

Punctuality The successful journalist is also responsible, adaptable, self- disciplined, inquisitive and enthusiastically interested in
people and events. Those who want to become editors should also have commercial instinct and leadership skills and will need to
pursue the Bachelor of Technology: Journalism and Master of Journalism.

Media Environment
Places of work vary from home offices to hi-tech modern media institutions like the SABC, East Coast Radio, Al-Jazeera and BBC.
Whether you freelance or head up a media empire, work-hours are irregular and long - they often include nights, weekends and
public holidays. You will quickly be expected to source and gather your own stories.

The work is quite stimulating, analytical but exhausting. Although teamwork is important, much of the work is solitary as the
journalist chases the story and researches background information.

Journalists are expected to travel to find the news, often at short notice, and must therefore be able to drive. Most journalists
spend hours in interviews, writing and editing their stories. Starting salaries are not very attractive but senior journalists and
editors earn salaries that could compare with other professions.

Journalism Activities & Events

Over and above the pursuit of academic excellence, the Journalism Programme is committed to ongoing relevant applied research
as well as to the upliftment of communities. DUT Journalism sees itself playing a critical role in areas such as youth and women
development, HIV/Aids awareness and ’Mainstreaming Africa’. To this end, DUT Journalism is involved in a string of activities that
not only promotes a strong culture of teaching and learning but also contributes to the wellbeing of its numerous stakeholders.

DUT Journalism commemorates significant days like World Press Day (May 3) and Media Freedom Day (October 19) by hosting
seminars. At regular intervals, leading personalities in their respective fields of expertise donate their time and talent as guest
speakers. In association with the Gandhi Development Trust (GDT), the Mahatma Gandhi Media Lecture is hosted each year. It
was launched in 2008. DUT Journalism is actively involved in producing content for radio, television and online. The Advisory
Board: Comprises Programme staff and senior members of the media industry. The board, inter alia, fosters, strengthens and
maintains efficient and professional standards in the field of journalism. It meets three times a year.

Alumni have excelled across the media spectrum. With a strong journalistic foundation from the programme, they are prospering
in institutions like Capital Media, Caxton Newspapers, City Press, Daily Dispatch, East Coast Radio, eNCA, Financial Mail (FM),
Gagasi 99.5 FM, Government Communications & Information System (GCIS), Independent Media (titles across the country),
Jacaranda 94.2, Kwana, Mail & Guardian, M-Net, North Coast Courier, Power FM, Radio 702, Radio Hindvani, Rising Sun, Radio
Al- Ansaar, Tabloid Media, SABC Radio & TV, Satyagraha, Skye Radio, Sowetan, Summit TV, Tabloid Media, Tiso Blackstar, and
Witness.

Assessment
The system of continuous assessment is employed across all learning areas in all modules. The emphasis is on growth and
development of the student. Accordingly, there are no summative examinations, as the programmes are not intended to test
retentive memory.

P a g e 61 | 159
Career Opportunities
News and feature writing for newspapers, magazines and current affairs web sites provide a major source of employment.
Developments in radio and television present numerous opportunities. Advertising and public relations companies are also keen
to employ good writers.

Diploma in Drama
NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 100799
Qualification Code: DIDRM2

Location: Ritson Campus (Block N)

Description of the Programme

The Drama Programme in the Department of Drama and Production Studies centres on the development of the individual
actor/director. It is a multifunctional programme designed to train actors for a varied career in professional theatre, television,
radio and film.

It seeks additionally to provide specialist training in a chosen field through an elective studied at a second- and third-year level. The
Diploma in Drama is an intensive, full-time three-year programme involving the study of theatre and the related arts. This three-
year conservatory programme focuses on the holistic development of the unique creative artist. A further year training for the
industry is offered though a rigorous Advanced Diploma in Drama, involving touring and long hours of dedication. This additional
year invites entrepreneurial artistic engagement as a performance and directing artist with an additional area of specialization for
those wanting a career in the professional industry.

Drama and Performance Studies graduates have, in the past, continued their studies by reading for a Higher Diploma in Education,
(H.D.E.), a B. Tech Degree or a B.A. (Hons.). This fourth-year qualification is an option for students with excellent grades
accumulated in the three-year tertiary diploma and may prove beneficial to anyone wishing to teach within the education system
or open their own studio. 2022 offers the exciting prospect of further training for the professional industry. Training as a
professional through the Advanced Diploma in Drama is a further qualification involving one additional year of study for those
intending to pursue a career in performance.

Instructional Programme
The programme for the Diploma in Drama spans three years of full-time study offered in Durban only. Practical involvement is
considerable, and students may not refuse to participate in any such experience as may be arranged for them by the Department,
even though the work is in an unpaid capacity. Students are encouraged to seek experience in the professional theatre, if such
experience does not interfere with class work, production work or attendance. The one-year Advanced Diploma in Drama,
offered as a new programme in 2022 in Durban only, offers selected candidates the opportunity to continue training for an
additional year with the added benefit of an entrepreneurial focus.
The main thrust of the Diploma in Drama is aimed at developing performance skills, as:
Departmental productions are mounted by professional directors. Students are also trained to work in other mediums of
communication, particularly television and screen acting.

1. An Actor
Preparation for a career as an actor extends from class work in distinctive acting styles, to productions, both in front of student
audiences and the public in the Departmental productions mounted by professional directors. Students are also trained to work
in other mediums of communication, particularly television and screen acting.

2. A Director
Throughout the three years of study, the student is exposed to the diverse skills needed in order to become a director. A study
is made of various directors and directing techniques and in third year each student is required to direct a short production.
Workshop also forms an integral part of the directing programme.
The central foci of the Advanced Diploma in Drama is aimed at advanced performance, entrepreneurial, and specialization training
and skills development, as:
Departmental productions are mounted and are further required to travel locally, nationally and on occasions internationally.
Students are encouraged to work in other mediums of communication, particularly television and on screen. Although the
actor/director remains a primary point of departure, research features more prominently as does entrepreneurial development.

Time Devoted
The Department takes a maximum of 40 undergraduate and 15 graduate students per annum. Practical involvement is considerable,
and students must be prepared for rigorous and intensive training schedules. Students may not contract to be involved in an
outside production, without the consent of the Head of Department, who may advise against such participation if it is likely to
interfere with class attendance or performance criteria.
Apart from normal class time, Diploma and Advanced Diploma students must be prepared to make themselves available to
rehearse and perform at night, during holidays and over weekends where necessary. Anyone not available on Friday evenings,
Saturdays, or Sundays for religious or other reasons, must make this clear when applying for admission to the programme.
Courses, Dance and Acting students will be required to purchase specific clothing and footwear or other specialist computer
programs. Further, prescribed academic texts, plays, or books, poetry or prose anthologies, novels, may be requested by various
programmes. Advanced Diploma students will additionally be expected to have laptops, iPads and smart phones.
Career Opportunities
P a g e 63 | 159
A student completing the Diploma in Drama pursues careers predominantly in the theatre, television, film, and radio industries.
The Advanced Diploma programme also equips students to create their own work, by starting small companies offering
educational, professional as well as community theatre.
A Diploma in Drama provides a thorough foundation for any career requiring the basics in communications and life skills, i.e. sales,
public speaking, business, presentations, entertainment officer, while the Advanced Diploma in Drama additionally offers the
groundwork to become a solid communicator in corporate workshops, liaisons as a publicist, tourism assistant operator, theatre
reviewer, instructor etc.

buying, and to apply their learning to particular employment contexts from the outset. A wide and diverse range of activities will
take place across a structured programme, with an emphasis on research and creativity, and these will contribute towards the
intended outcomes.

The study and application of the theoretical and creative components of the programme will actively encourage the students to
broaden their knowledge base and commit themselves to the challenges of the future and to contribute to the expansion and
development of the South African as well as international fashion/clothing industry as a whole. A student accredited with this
qualification will develop a deep and systematic understanding of current thinking, practice, theory and methodology in areas of

the total production process in the clothing/fashion industry, as well as in specialist areas in various sectors of the industry
toward creating employment and/or self-employment
• To prepare students for further study at Advanced Diploma and Postgraduate level.

P a g e 65 | 159
through entrepreneurship and sustainable development.

Qualities Required as a Designer

The fashion and textiles industry is highly competitive and depends upon rapid turn-around time. Working conditions are not
always favourable and the designer or entrepreneur is constantly placed under pressure to meet deadlines. It is, therefore,
important to have the ability to communicate at all levels, deal with criticism, and work in an organized and rational manner.
Although this may all seem quite challenging, if the enthusiasm, ambition and desire to succeed is there, the rewards of recognition
will present themselves. Qualities, which will assist students in reaching their goals, are professionalism, self-motivation,
commitment and drive.

Career Opportunities
The possible career opportunities include being self-employed (as a bespoke designer, freelance pattern technologist, or CAD
artist), a commercial designer in a clothing manufacturer, a buyer or merchandiser, trend forecasters, visual merchandisers
and/or an academic.
Opportunities exist in performing arts, film, and television companies. One can enjoy recognition at a young age and become a
senior designer or reach executive level in a fashion house. In large companies’ designers are usually sent to overseas trade shows
in the major centres of the world, to study fashion trends or select fabrics and trimmings. To cope with modern design
development and advanced technology, the industry requires appropriately trained designers, technologists and management
personnel in ever-increasing numbers. Students are also equipped with entrepreneurial skills to start their own businesses.

Diploma: Interior Design

NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 111012
Qualification Code: DIIND1

Location: City Campus

Description of the Programme

The Department has a proud tradition of educating students for Industry and the high calibre of our students has been recognised
both nationally and internationally. An Interior Designer is responsible for the structural planning and aesthetic imaging of
corporate, retail, commercial and domestic interiors such as restaurants, shops, exhibition stands, bars, hairdressing salons, offices,
hotels, function rooms, private homes etc.
The professional is involved in the total design of these areas and therefore requires a considerable knowledge of all technical
aspects such as lighting, air-conditioning, plumbing, construction methods, as well as internal finishes and furniture selection.

As Interior Design is closely related to the world of changing trends, the designer must also have a knowledge of past, current
and future fashions, and styles.
The designer may also be involved in the design of domestic architecture for which he/she would require a knowledge of planning
and of building construction methods.
The designer is responsible for producing the design concept and then following through with the working drawings, contract
administration and supervision of the installation.

He/she would associate and work closely with architects, quantity surveyors, various consultants, building contractors, shop fitters,
subcontractors and a variety of manufacturers and suppliers.

Duration
This programme is offered on a full-time basis for three years.

Working Conditions
Planning and designing begin in the studio, at the drawing board, the computer and in model building work areas. The designer
has to be well informed on new trends and sourcing new products, which will result in time being spent away from the office.
Once the building operation has commenced, he/she may also be required to visit the site for supervision purposes, or for site
meetings with the client, architect and contractor.

Personal Qualities Required

The Interior Designer must have drawing ability, an awareness of current trends and an eye for detail, but more importantly must
have a strong creative imagination and an ability to communicate his/her ideas visually and verbally. All these aspects are covered
in subjects throughout the course using the latest technologies including CAD. Interior Design is related to the building industry
and the designer would benefit by having an aptitude for the technical aspects.

Career Opportunities
Interior Design and decorating firms, architectural practices, retail and exhibition designers, shop fitters, office furniture companies
and product designers offer employment opportunities. The graduate may also act as a consultant and establish a private practice.
Although the field is highly competitive and the demand is strongly influenced by current trends in the building industry, there is
a real need for local Interior Designers.

Diploma in Jewellery Design and Manufacture
NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 100800
Qualification Code: DIJDM1 (Mainstream)
DIJDF1 (4-Year Extended Curriculum Programme)
Location: City Campus

Description of the Programme

The traditional training for a jeweller’s career was an apprenticeship at a recognized master jeweller’s workshop. Through the
innovations of mass production, it became necessary to train people for all the aspects of the highly specialized production
processes of the factories.
The University’s instructional programme trains students in designing, manufacturing and marketing of jewellery, the basic
principles for a successful career in the jewellery business. On completion of the instructional programme, graduates will have no
difficulties in coping with the variety of manufacturing and designing functions, especially if they have obtained the Bachelor of
Technology after four years’ training, or at least 6 month of practical working experience after having obtained the Diploma. The
qualifying learner will be competent in the production of creative jewellery using a variety of skills and materials. Our graduates
are taught to become:
• Critical and creative thinkers who work independently and collaboratively.
• Knowledgeable practitioners
• Effective communicators
• Culturally, environmentally, and socially aware within a local and global context
• Active and reflective learners
•
Working Conditions
A small jeweller’s workshop has only a few staff members - they work closely together as a team. This needs all-round people
with good social relationships with others, able to co-operate and work with total honesty in dealing with precious materials.
These jewellers design individual pieces of jewellery, manufacture the pieces and sell them to their customers. They are also
responsible for the management of their business. Jewellery factories need people specialised in different fields, designing,
manufacturing, model making, casting, setting, or marketing of the products. Some small jewellery shops sell jewellery on a retail
basis; they employ people to sell and repair jewellery, and general managerial duties.

Career Opportunities
The jewellery industry is experiencing a period of growth due to the relaxation of previous harsh taxation laws and a concerted
expansion drive from the industry. Good career opportunities exist for properly trained, highly motivated and talented people.
The departmental emphasis on entrepreneurship has led to a number of past students establishing their own successful businesses.
The internet provides even more opportunities in terms of marketing your products.
Duration
This programme is offered on a full-time basis for three years.

What is Chemical Engineering?

Chemical Engineering is a science that involves the study of processes required for the conversion of raw materials into useful products
with minimum environmental impact. It uses the application of physical and life sciences, mathematics, economics and engineering sciences
to produce, transform, and transport chemicals, materials and energy.
Chemical engineering professionals are involved in the transfer of scientific discoveries into modern manufacturing technologies for the
production of chemical and products that benefit society. They are involved in the development and manufacture of consumer products,
as well as in design, operation, and control of processes in a variety of industries (e.g., petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, consumer
products, food, feed and pharmaceuticals).
Examples of some typical chemical engineering operations in South Africa include:
• The conversion of crude oil into petrol, diesel, wax, etc.
• The conversion of wood into paper products.
• The extraction of sugar from sugarcane
• The conversion of coal into petrol and other useful products.
• The extraction of precious minerals
We make daily use of products that are obtained via the principles of chemical engineering, e.g.: paper, plastic materials, textiles, petrol,
fertilizers, drinkable water etc.

Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Mechanical Engineering

NQF Level: 7
SAQA ID: 99599
Qualification Code: BNMCH1

Location: Steve Biko Campus (S5 Level 3)

Description of the Programme:

What Is Mechanical Engineering?

In almost every aspect of modern life, from the air-conditioned offices to the modern industrial plants, from the simplest components the
aerospace industry, one sees the work of mechanical engineers who continue to develop and apply new knowledge and technology to
improve the quality of life of humankind. Mechanical Engineering is one of the widest forms of all industrial based occupations, ranging
across every stage of the manufacturing process and includes design, draughting, assembly, quality assurance, plant operation, maintenance
and management.
Today's mechanical engineer is heavily involved in the development and use of new materials and technologies, especially in computer
aided engineering, robotics and advanced manufacturing systems. A rapidly growing field for mechanical engineers is environmental control,
comprising the development of machines and processes that will produce fewer pollutants, as well as the development of new equipment
and techniques to reduce or remove existing pollution.
Who Is a Mechanical Engineer?
A mechanical engineer is an individual, who is highly motivated, has good analytical and quantitative skills, and wants to be in a challenging and
rewarding career, and sees themselves as future leaders in industry.
Mechanical engineers will find themselves dealing with all aspects of production, manufacturing, management, and development. They will
be involved with artisans, tradesmen, technicians, production managers and many others who work in teams to keep industry turning. In the
past engineers were purely the products of universities, who worked with their brains and computers but their role has widened and_ the
scope changed.
Mechanical Engineers can be found at the highest rungs of the industrial ladder, designing racing cars, running companies, and conducting
research programmes.

But Can He/she also specialise?

Yes, and some of them do. In recognising this, we at the Durban University of Technology offer an appropriate mix of subjects, laboratory
sessions and project work which will enable him/her to become, for example, a mechanical engineering designer or plant engineer. For the
design specialisation, he/she will make use of a comprehensive draughting and computer-aided design facility. Specialisation is also the
emphasis of further education programmes where the subject choices should enable him/her to hold his/her own in a very challenging
engineering environment. Further studying can be undertaking to do a Masters and even a Doctorate if he/she wishes.

Career opportunities Where Does He/she Work?

Graduates of this programme would be eligible to register with ECSA as a Professional Engineering Technologist. Owing to the
ubiquitous nature, he/she is to be found in all manner of industries: those making steel and bricks; building oilrigs and dams; refining
oil and sugar; offering services, such as those provided by Eskom, in the automotive industry such as Toyota, and the water boards
and other government organisations. Opportunities also exist in the Maritime industry. In each of these industrial sectors you will
find him/her employed as production engineers, maintenance engineers and design engineers in developmental work. Mechanical
engineers can also be found in the sales of hi-tech equipment.

Bachelor of the Built Environment in Urban and Regional Planning

NQF Level: 7
SAQA ID: 99018
Qualification Code: BBURP1

Location: Steve Biko Campus (S3 Level 4)

Description of the Programme

Urban and regional planners work within a diverse range of activities in which they develop land use plans and deploy tools in
order to develop and help create communities and improve existing areas. Planners engage with the effects of population growth,
migration, and their impact on settlements, including towns, cities, and city regions within the constitutional mandate of the country
and its laws. The typical work of an urban and regional planner includes:
• Meeting with communities, public officials and developers about development plans and land use,
• Administering government policies and plans that affect land uses, for example the National Development Plan 2030 and
Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act of 2013,
• Gathering and analysing data from a range of sources such as land use surveys, census information, and economic and
environmental information, traffic surveys, housing, and community surveys for a variety of applications,
• Managing and accessing proposals for development including development controls in relation to land use applications such
as special consent, rezoning, sub- division of land, etc.
• The design and layout of existing township extensions, commercial and industrial layout, housing projects, or informal
settlement upgrading,
• Cartographic work including the preparation of cadastral plans using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer
Aided Draughting (CAD) software and is used to integrate data such as population density with digital maps,
• Assisting in the community participation processes to establish their needs, issues, and goals. This is typically done through
research, analysis of data and community engagement and collaboration to develop local strategies for development, and
• Collaboration with a range of other professionals in the built environments such as architects, civil engineers, surveyors,
environmental practitioners, property developers, lawyers, and public officials.
Career opportunities
Urban and regional planning is projected to grow as the momentum for implementing the National Development Plan takes shape and has
been identified as a scarce skill. Planners are typically employed in the private sector, planning firms, local provincial authorities, and
service organisations. Both technical planners and professional planners work in government departments at municipal, provincial
and national levels and in state owned enterprises. In the private sector, there are career opportunities in planning firms and a
range of other sectors such as community organisations and property development.
Duration & Structure of Course
The duration of the programme is 3 years of full-time study. The programme is based on semester modules which comprise core planning
modules and general education modules. Students are expected to complete 33 modules for this programme.

Diploma in Engineering Technology in Civil Engineering

NQF Level: 6
SAQA ID: 99026
Qualification Code: DICVE1 (Diploma)

Location: Indumiso Site, Midlands Campus (Pietermaritzburg)

Description of the Programme

Most Civil Engineering Technicians and Technologists are employed in industry in one of the two traditional areas, namely Building
Industry or the Civil Engineering Industry, and may be involved in planning, designing or constructing. Within each of these areas,
Technicians and Engineers may be employed either in Consulting offices, for a local authority or for a contractor. The Construction
industry as a whole, plans, designs, constructs and maintains what is sometimes referred to as the built environment. This is not only
houses, schools and multi-storey structures, but also roads, airports, tunnels, dams, water supplies, sewerage works, service
reticulation, the list is endless.

In the traditional building industry, the buildings were designed by an architect and built by a contractor. However, an increasing
number of today's buildings rely on accurate assessment of the structure by a Consulting Engineering team.
The Technician and Technologist would be key personnel, who would have tended to specialise in structural Engineering.
The majority of qualified Civil Engineering staff however are engaged on all the other items that make up the built environment in the Civil
Engineering Industry.
A specialisation in Water Engineering could bring an involvement in the design of water supply schemes, dams or irrigation projects.
Alternatively, specialisation could be in the field of tunnels, bridges, transportation, mining or one of the many other aspects of engineering.
The construction industry offers thousands of unique and challenging positions in the new South Africa and throughout the world, and the
opening to these is through a qualification as an Engineer, Technologist or Technician.
The main difference between the Professional Engineer and the Professional Technologist is that a Technologist tends to become more
specialised in a particular field of Engineering, whereas an Engineer has been educated on a broader spectrum of subjects. Both the
Professional Engineer and Professional Technologist may set up their own professional practice. The 2nd year Diploma in Engineering
Technology: Civil Engineering is run on a semester basis
The course has national recognition and the overall concept and modules studied comply with the minimum standards as set by the
Engineering Council of South Africa
At the Durban University of Technology, the modules syllabus has been adopted after consultation with representatives of the profession
and the construction industry. In this way, students can be assured of the relevance of the course to their future employment.
Career opportunities
Most Civil Engineering Technicians and Technologists are employed in Industry, namely Building industry or Civil engineering
industry, and may be involved in planning, designing, or constructing.

Description of the Programme

Manipulation of the spine can be traced to the earliest practitioners in the history of healing. Hippocrates (400 BC), the “father of medicine”,
developed theories of the spine's mechanics and its relation to the overall health of the body by making use of manipulations, as did many famous
physicians after him. Through the intervening centuries, the theory that the spine was in some way central to good health was probably more
consistently held than any other medical theory. However, it was with the founding in 1895 of chiropractic by David Daniel Palmer that the
specific form of spinal manipulation known as “spinal adjustment” came into being. Palmer also recognised the importance of nutrition, a
healthy mental attitude and an absence of environmental toxins in the development of good health - factors still emphasised in chiropractic
today. Research findings by the Human Sciences Research Council indicate, “in the light of recent legislative measures with regard to alternative
medical professions, it may be concluded that the professions of Chiropractic and Homoeopathy are poised to establish themselves as worthy
alternative medical services in South Africa.” The Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa, a statutory body with whom all
chiropractors must register, was formed in 1982. Technikon Natal, in association with this Council, submitted a programme in chiropractic
education, which was approved by the Minister of National Education, and subsequently Technikon Natal / the Durban Institute of Technology
/ the Durban University of Technology has offered this programme since 1989.

The chiropractor is concerned with the treatment and prevention of disorders involving the neuro-muscular- skeletal system. As a professional,
the chiropractor is trained to diagnose disorders, to care for the human frame in health and disease and consult with, or refer to, other health-
care providers as necessary. Therapy consists of specific manual treatment in the form of spinal adjustment, other manipulations, nutritional
advice, exercise programmes, stress management, electrotherapy, massage, acupuncture and traction. The academic programme extends
over five years of full- time study (4 years in the BHSc: Chiropractic and 1 year in the MHSc: Chiropractic), of which the first three will provigde
the future chiropractic doctor with a thorough grounding in traditional medical subjects with special emphasis on diagnostic skills. Attendance
of lectures and tutorials with corresponding laboratory and clinical work will form the basic instructional pattern.

During the following two years, emphasis will be placed on preparing the student to consider the patient as a whole with particular attention
to neuro-muscular-skeletal disorders. Students are also taught to diagnose diseases in the same way, as do medical doctors, and are trained in
the taking and interpretation of X-ray films, CT scans, MRI's and bone scans. The final year (MHSc: Chiropractic) includes treating patients in
our clinic. Completion of the five-year programme is followed by a year of internship. The internship programme falls under the auspices of
the Allied Health Professionals Council of South Africa and is a statutory requirement that needs to be completed before a qualified student
/ graduate can practice as a chiropractor.

After an extensive screening process (assignment completion and academic record review), a number of selected candidates will be invited
to interviews (usually towards the end of the year – September / October). Successful candidates will be notified shortly thereafter. All
updated in status will be available on the Central Application Office system.

Career opportunities
Most of the newly qualified chiropractors will go into private practice on their own or into partnership with existing practitioners.

Bachelor of Child & Youth Care

NQF Level: 8
SAQA ID: 94178
Qualification Code: BCCYC3

Location: Ritson Campus (Mansfield School: 1st Floor)

Description of the Programme

“Child and youth care work is work with children and youth as whole persons, in order to promote their social competence and healthy development, by
participating in and using their day-to-day environments and life experiences and through the development of therapeutic relationships, most importantly with
the particular child or youth who is the focus of attention”.

- Anglin, J. 1995. Child and Youth Care: A Unique Profession. The Child Care Worker, 13(2):10-11. Feb.
The four-year professional Bachelor of Child and Youth Care degree aims to provide students with skills, knowledge and experience of working
in a variety of child and youth care settings. The major focus is the development and healing of the child within family, community and other
settings. The study, practice and application of knowledge are strengthened through practical training and community projects.

These involve the student in the child and youth care worker’s duties related to holistic care, behaviour management, and developmental
assessment and programming to optimize the health and well-being of young people and families. The child and youth care worker does not
undertake therapy in the traditional sense; rather, she/he has the job of purposefully creating and using a developmental and therapeutic milieu,
building a therapeutic relationship with the child, and promoting healing and development through the conscious use of events as they occur in
the life-space. The child and youth care worker is not a psychologist, social worker or a teacher, but should be able to work with these
professionals on an equal footing within the multidisciplinary team.

Career opportunities
At present, the areas in which leaners and graduates work include the following: Residential child and youth care/treatment centres (e.g. children’s
homes, substance abuse programmes)
• State facilities (e.g., places of safety, secure care; special schools)
• Probation programmes
• Street shelters and outreach programmes
• Educare centres
• Community development projects
• Assistant Probation officers in law courts
• Day-care and play-care centres
• Hospitals caring for abandoned children
• Mediators and facilitators in “at risk” communities

P a g e 105 | 159
 • Hostels at residential/educational facilities
• Diversion programmes
• Wilderness training and adventure programmes
• Schools and after-school careprogrammes
• Youth development programmes
• Intermediaries in court settings

Who Should Apply?

Child and youth care work requires practical people with academic ability, a strong concern for children and youth, and commitment to the
development of human beings and society. The emphasis on use of self as a therapeutic tool requires students who are willing to face personal
challenges for their own development. The major focus is on children and youth who are marginalised, or at risk of becoming marginalised.
Students require enthusiasm, initiative, creativity, and the ability to be reflective and responsible. Students are expected to engage in a rigorous
process of self-development and to commit themselves to ethical standards.

We reserve the right to select applicants. Final selection and placement will be dependent on completing tests and interviews. Applicants are
notified of the outcome of the selection process during December.

Selected applicants will be placed in the four-year professional degree programme.

The programme includes care, development, and therapeutic work across the life span with a particular focus on children/youth from birth
to 18/21 years of age. The Bachelor of Child and Youth Care is offered on a full-time basis in Durban.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Environmental Health

NQF Level: 8
SAQA ID: 94797
Qualification Code: BHEVH2

Location: Ritson Campus (Block H: First Floor)

Description of the Programme

Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) are health professionals who derive their expertise from a comprehensive knowledge
of the physical, biological, and social sciences. These sciences allow them to perform as efficient practitioners in the field of
Environmental Health. He or she will be a valuable member of the community who will have the skills required to advise people
and to investigate, evaluate and control the many facets that affect the environment in which we live.
As a result, a career as an EHP is dynamic and incorporates many different fields of interest. EHPs are concerned with the external
environment and will deal with topics such as air, land, water and noise pollution. This will require full investigation and the
implementation of intervention measures to control the sources of pollution and evaluate how they affect people and the
environment. Investigations may extend into the field of urban and regional planning studies, with research into environmental
hazards, in order to determine the many potential dangers; we are faced within the world today. By doing such studies, the EHP
ensures that communities are generally safe and healthy places to live in. However, the EHP's field of expertise is also required in
the internal environment where people are exposed to many hazards. EHPs are extensively involved in all aspects concerning
health in the workplace or occupational health, which requires the investigation, evaluation, and monitoring of industries with
regard to all physical and chemical stresses within the working environment. This may involve asbestos, dusts, heat/cold, stress,
noise, chemical hazards, and safety measures and may even extend to high and low pressures such as experienced by drivers and
pilots. The EHP may be exposed to urban and rural communities and will be required to work independently and make decisions
on their own. An EHP may be involved with communities in order to uplift their standards of health by introducing health
awareness and community projects.
To this end, the work involves the:
• Control and prevention of infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid, rabies and malaria.
• Another sector is Port Health, a division of the Department of Health. The Port Health Officer controls the importation
of all food stuffs into the country. In addition, they ensure that no infected person or disease vector is allowed to enter the
country by land or sea. This entails placing ships or aircraft under quarantine.
• Solving of a wide range of environmental issues and problems such as the provision of safe food and water and the proper
disposal of wastes from all sources.
EHPs are required to ensure that such services are provided in a manner that is acceptable to the people and in terms of various
by laws and Government regulations. The EHP acts as a representative of the public in order to ensure that adequate standards
are maintained in all sectors. The EHP may be required to carry out risk assessment and risk management programmes in the field
of food, environmental and occupational health in order to determine the many risks we are exposed to.
Duration

Qualification Code: BHHOM1 (Mainstream)
BHHMF2 (4-Year Extended Curriculum Programme)

Location: Ritson Campus (Block L, 1st Floor)

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”
- Hippocrates 460 B.C.
Description of the Programme
Homoeopathy is a legally recognised profession and is becoming increasingly important in South African healthcare provision. It a medical
approach that respects the wisdom of the body, with the emphasis on holistic healthcare. Homoeopathy uses medicines that stimulate the
body's own immune- and defence systems to initiate the healing process. It is an approach that is widely recognised to be safe, and it has the
potential to be very effective in preventing and treating various acute and chronic diseases. As a primary-contact practitioner, a homoeopath
manages all aspects of patient healthcare, including diagnosis, treatment and management, as well as referral and communication with other
healthcare professions and institutions.
The academic programme is designed to extend over five years, which will provide the future homoeopathic practitioner with a thorough
grounding in traditional medical subjects with special emphasis on diagnostic skills. An extended curriculum that stretch over six years has
been designed for students who are possibly at risk of not succeeding in the mainstream programme. The selection panel in the department
will based their decisions for placements in this programme on matric marks, interview scores and placement tests in Mathematics and
English.
Attendance at lectures and tutorials with corresponding laboratory and clinical work provide the foundation. In the final year of the BHSc:
Homoeopathy as well as during the MHSc: Homoeopathy, emphasis is placed on the practical application of homoeopathic, herbal and
naturopathic principles, including aspects such as preventative medicine, community health care, and nutrition. The student will be guided
to consider the patient as a whole and relate all peculiarities, reactions and modalities to the homoeopathic method of treatment. The
academic offering at the Durban University of Technology is arguably the most extensive homoeopathic education.
Career Opportunities
The comprehensive nature of training allows graduates to find employment in the private sector as private practitioners, in the industrial sector,
or in the public sector within multi- disciplinary and hospital-related environments. The comprehensive nature of training allows graduates
to find employment primarily in the private sector as private practitioners, and to a lesser extent in the industrial sector, as well as some
limited opportunities in the public sector within multi-disciplinary environments.
Degree Structure
The Bachelor of Health Sciences: Homoeopathy will be awarded after successful completion of the requirements of the degree. This will
allow the candidate to exit and find employment in industry or the public sector, but in order for the candidate to be able to practice as
a qualified Homoeopathic practitioner in private practice, registered with the Allied Health Professions Councils of South Africa
(AHPCSA), the candidate will have to enrol into the Master of Health Sciences Homoeopathy (minimum 1 year; maximum 2 years) which
has been implemented in 2020 at DUT. As of June 2020, the AHPCSA has instituted the compulsory internship programme for the Master’s
Degree students and graduates.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics

NQF Level: 8
SAQA ID: 91786
Qualification Code: BHMOP3

Location: Steve Biko Campus, Ritson Campus/ Wentworth Hospital

What is an Orthotics/ Prosthetics?

Medical orthotists/prosthetists (MOPs) are concerned with the design, manufacturing and fitting of splints, braces, surgical
appliances (orthotics) and artificial limbs (prosthetics). MOP’s are members of the rehabilitation team; helping those who require
orthopaedic support.

What work am I actually going to do?

MOPs usually work independently or in a team. Working alongside doctors, surgeons, physiotherapists, occupational therapists,
and nursing staff. In addition, some work is referred from other medical personnel. Some of the members of the team can
diagnose and assess the problems the patient is experiencing and send a treatment plan or prescription to the
Orthotist/ Prosthetist, who thereafter consults and formulates a treatment plan with and for the patient. The role of the O&P
is both clinical and technical in nature. With the aim of creating orthotics/prosthetics that are well- fitting and functional, medical
orthotists/prosthetists examine patients' disabilities, take measurements, and make plaster moulds of the affected areas. The
orthotics/prosthetics are custom fitted to the patients. Adjustments are made until both parties are fully satisfied with the results.
The profession entails a lot of direct work with the patients. Orthotists/prosthetists may use significant hours to instruct the
patient on the use of the orthotics/prosthetics.
Expertise in this field is developing in response to advances in technology. Previously steel and leather were used to make
appliances. Currently, plastics and materials such as carbon fibres, acrylic resin, titanium and silicone make it possible to
manufacture lighter, more functional and aesthetically pleasing orthotics/prosthetics. Technological advancement in electronics
enables medical orthotists/ prosthetists to make prosthetics that function electronically. Therefore, there exists a growing scope
for research in this field for those individuals who wish to further their qualifications at a later stage.

Description of the Programme

The programme in Orthotics and Prosthetics has been developed to produce a competent clinician who is grounded in the
fundamental theory and principles that underlay the practice and growth in the field of orthotics and prosthetics. The programme's
strong clinical and practical components are offered as increasingly complex and demanding modules through the four years of
the programme. A partnership between the Department of Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics and the KwaZulu-Natal
Department of Health including the private sector will ensure that the students fully participate in focused clinical practice
activities. The BHSc in Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics programme leads to professional practice and scientific advancement
in Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics.
Successful completion of this qualification will entitle the student to register with the Health Professions Council of South Africa
(HPCSA) as an independent Medical Orthotist and Prosthetist.

Personal Qualities Required

Prospective MOPs should show an authentic interest in working with people with physical disabilities. They must be empathetic,
patient and understanding. It is advisable to be psychologically well adjusted with an optimistic approach towards life thereby
encouraging and inspiring confidence in patients. As biomechanics is a major subject in the qualification, exceptional biomechanical
insight enables these professionals to design orthotics and prosthetics that are both practical and successful. Practical proficiency
is an indispensable quality since a significant portion of tasks involves the actual physical manufacturing of orthotics and
prosthetics. It is therefore also to your advantage to possess artistic skills.

P a g e 115 | 159
Career Opportunities
There exists high demand for qualified medical orthotists and prosthetists in South Africa. This programme will play a crucial role
in meeting the need to service this health care sector. Graduates will have an extremely high employment opportunity, due to the
national and African need for practitioners in this field. Orthotists and prosthetists may find employment in a variety of settings:
• Hospitals
• Government departments
• Rehabilitation facilities / private institutions • Specialty clinics and home health settings
• Universities and Universities of Technology

Duration
Minimum duration for completion (full-time): 4 years. Entry term: Annual programme starting in January.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Radiography

NQF Level: 8
Location: Ritson Campus (Block H Ground Floor)
Description of the Programme
The Department of Radiography offers three discipline specific degrees namely:
1) Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Radiography,
2) Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Sonography, and
3) Bachelor of Health Sciences in Nuclear Medicine.
4) Bachelor of Health Sciences in Radiotherapy.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Radiography

Qualification Code: BHDRD1
SAQA ID: 94832
Radiography is the creation of radiographs; photographs made by exposing a photographic film or other image receptors to X-
rays. Since X-rays penetrate solid objects, but are slightly attenuated by them, the picture resulting from the exposure reveals
the internal structure of the object. A radiographer should be able to apply scientific knowledge and technologies, applicable to
the clinical presentation, for the production of optimum image quality in a chosen elective; be able to plan, develop and apply
total quality management with consideration for equipment, human resources, quality assurance and health care needs; be able
to manage a radiographic service; be able to apply research skills and principles, and be able to apply advanced ethical principles
to daily practice.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Sonography

Qualification Code: BHDSN1
SAQA ID: 94679
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. A sonographer
is qualified to perform abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound to determine the size, shape and dimensions of pelvic organs, ovarian
follicle production, and the existence of tumours, enlargements or inflammations. Doppler and 3-D ultrasound help identify
pathologies such as gallstones, kidney stones, cancers, hematomas and tumours. An ultrasound radiographer must operate various
types of diagnostic ultrasound equipment and care for patients competently. He or she does not make a diagnosis, as this falls within
the scope of a qualified doctor such as a radiologist, obstetrician, surgeon or physician. The ultrasound radiographer reports his
or her findings.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Nuclear Medicine Qualification

Code: BHNMD1
SAQA ID: 94803
This is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive substances to show the function of a body organ, as well as its
anatomy. It has diagnostic as well as therapeutic applications. Nuclear medicine radiographers administer radiopharmaceuticals
to patients and then monitor the characteristics and functions of tissues or organs in which the drugs localize, with the use of
specialized equipment. The radiographers also perform a number of laboratory related procedures. They should be able to apply
scientific skills and technologies to the clinical presentation for the production of optimum image quality in the specialised fields
and research units of Nuclear Medicine. They need to also plan, develop and manage a Nuclear Medicine department as well as
apply strategic management and administration to ensure a quality Nuclear Medicine service.

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Radiotherapy

Qualification Code: BHRDT1
SAQA ID: 94800
Treatment of various cancers and abnormal growths using ionizing radiations such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons, etc. Ionizing
radiation kills cancer cells and cells from the abnormal growths. Radiotherapy radiographers (known as radiation therapists)
operate high technology machines to deliver doses of radiation to the area of treatment in order to cure cancer (radical
treatment), alleviate symptoms of cancer (palliative treatment), and to treat an unaffected area in order to prevent spread of
cancer to that area (prophylactic treatment). They are responsible for planning the cancer treatment planning, delivery of
radiation treatment to the patient as well as care of the patient before, during and after treatment with radiation.

South Africa and in so doing contribute to the country's health human resources strategy. Hence, it is required that participants in
this programme sign a contract to practice in South Africa for four years after graduation, inclusive of one-year of community
service.

Description of the Programme

Marketing is the business of planning and developing appropriate products or services that will satisfy the wants and needs of
the market as well as planning and implementing the marketing programme.
Many confuse the term marketing with selling and advertising. Whilst both of these aspects are included in the marketing
function, they account for only a part of the total marketing effort. Marketing is the business discipline responsible for:
a) Identifying the people who make up a market
b) Analysing and identifying the needs and wants of these people.
c) Planning the development of appropriate products or services that will satisfy these wants and needs.
d) Determining the most effective way to price, promote and distribute the product or service developed.

Marketing personnel are responsible for:

• Planning the marketing programme
• Implementing the programme
• Evaluating the performance of the programme.
In order to do this efficiently, marketers need to develop an expertise in many areas including market research, sales analysis and
forecasting, advertising sales promotion, public relations, product and packaging development, pricing, distribution and the generation of
profit.

Personal Qualities Required

Attributes essential for success in the field of marketing include a genuine interest and understanding of people, an ability to
communicate effectively, an aptitude for figures as well as a strong motivation to succeed. The wide spectrum of potential career
choice afforded by training in marketing call for different levels of expertise and skill. Jobs in sales require a strong people
orientation. Those with creative skills may be best suited to jobs in advertising and public relations, whilst those having a flair for
figures might prefer jobs in marketing strategy, product management or marketing research. Above all, motivation and enthusiasm
are essential.

Duration
Three years full time

2. Residence Accommodation

Department of Student Housing and Residence Life Mission Statement

Student Housing, as a component of the Student Services Division, is in support of the division’s philosophy of being concerned
with the overall welfare, development and educational success of our students. In doing so, Student Housing undertakes to
provide limited accessible, affordable accommodation conducive to learning in a safe and healthy environment, whilst providing
opportunities for residence student empowerment and advancement.
Our interests and concerns are to ensure that the personal, social and academic development of students is achieved through
participation in proactive programmes which address current issues and problems, as well as assisting in the individual’s
adjustment to the community at large. We shall do this by taking an active interest in the academic progress of students in
residence and providing the necessary support or proper referrals on serious issues affecting students. We shall encourage
community involvement and participation in the empowerment and advancement of a residence student at the Durban
University of Technology.

Admission to Residence
In our endeavour to provide accommodation to students who meet the set standards and criteria, the University cannot
guarantee that it would be able to accommodate all applicants for accommodation. Admissions to residence (first year and
returning students) are based on available space, acceptable academic progress and good record of behaviour in the residence
and at the university as a whole.

How to Apply for Residence

First time applicants must indicate on the CAO application whether they will require accommodation during their study period.
Those that require housing and have accepted a firm offer will receive an application link via their personal email provided on
the CAO application form. The completed housing application link will be processed, and the outcome will be communicated via
email. Please note only individuals who are 30kms away or more from the University qualify for accommodation.

Please Note: Accommodation is not guaranteed due to limited space.

Residence Placement Process

The student must apply through CAO and indicate if he/she needs residence.

Student Housing will send an application link to all accepted firm offers via email. Student Housing will process the application

received via the link and pre-allocate the student according to his/her qualification.

Once the student is allocated an e-mail with instructions of how to complete residence registration will be sent to the student.

A student needs to register his/her academic program at the beginning of the year and complete their residence registration
online or come to Student Housing if having challenges.

Phakimpilo programme (Food security programme)

DURBAN AND MIDLANDS

Access to sufficient food is a complex phenomenon affecting many South African households. Research indicates that food security is
a growing concern within higher education institutions.
The Student Counselling & Health department houses the PhakiMpilo program to address students’ uncertain or inadequate access
to food due to financial constraints. DUT has partnered with local shops to allocate vouchers to students that qualify for the
program. The students can use these vouchers to buy essential food items only (not alcohol, cigarettes or data bundles).
The program is a two-month interim program for students who have challenges accessing food. There is a screening process for
students applying for the program. The screening is done by the staff at the Student Counselling Centre. Documentation and
information are kept confidential by these professionals who are bound by the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
Should a student not qualify, the psychologist will explore alternatives with the student. It is important to note that the program is
an interim program which will only provide students with food vouchers for a period of two months. The cut off of two months is
important to allow the maximum number of students to use the program while exploring other sources and means for financial
support.
Documentation required for screening process:
• Motivation letter (why you qualify)
• Copy of ID and Student Card
• Proof of Registration
• Documentation that proves you have no/little financial support (i.e death certificate, pension document, affidavit)
• More information about the PhakiMpilo program is available on DUT’s social media
• platforms.
