and Architecture
The Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) is

committed to fostering creative and professional excellence
in art and design education.
The Faculty is home to approximately 1 000 students who
study and work in the custom-built FADA Building on the
Auckland Park Bunting Road Campus. Conveniently situated
in the building are a number of specialised workshops,
studios, computer laboratories, common lecture venues, an
auditorium, gallery and library.
Many of our graduates are employed in South Africa or
internationally in diverse areas of industry, or work as
freelance designers, architects or independent artists.
Whatever their preference, they have been thoroughly
prepared as professionals through creative and
entrepreneurial development, which are key elements in
the programmes offered.
The Faculty works closely with industry to ensure that its
programmes remain relevant and to keep students constantly
exposed to changes occurring in the practising worlds of art
and design. In the course of the year, recognised national
and international artists, designers and academics are invited
to address students. The FADA Gallery hosts a series of
cutting-edge exhibitions throughout the year and the annual
student exhibitions showcase the best student work for
public viewing.
The Faculty offers various three-year National Diploma (NDip)
programmes as detailed below. Bachelor of Technology
(BTech) degrees, involving one additional year
of full-time study after the National Diploma, are also offered
in Architectural Technology: Management; Architectural
Technology: Applied Design; Clothing Management; Fashion
Design; Fine Art; Graphic Design; Industrial Design; Interior
Design; Jewellery Design and Manufacture; and Multimedia.
Master of Technology (MTech) degrees are offered in six of
these disciplines.
Placement in the programmes is limited, and there are
additional requirements such as entrance assessments and
prescribed portfolios. Prospective students are therefore
encouraged to apply as early as possible.

Faculty of Education
Email rnxumalo@uj.ac.za “I touch the future. I teach.” – Christa McAuliffe
The UJ’s Faculty of Education is engaged and dynamic in advancing education as

professional practice and field of scholarly inquiry through excellence in teaching, research
and community service that promote freedom, democracy, equality and human dignity.
What shall we teach those who will be teachers? We may teach them what we know –
but we must also enable them to pursue knowledge we do not yet have. We may teach
them how to nurture learning in a variety of environments – but we need to provide an
environment that will inspire them to want to nurture learning. We may teach them the
relevance of an ethos of care in education – but would it not be better to show this by
the way we teach them?
Although our Conceptual Framework serves as our guiding principles in the design and
execution of all our learning programmes, they are perhaps most visibly embodied in our
three Initial Professional Education of Teachers (IPET) programmes, namely:
Bachelor of Education (BEd) – Senior Phase (Grades 7 – 9)
Bachelor of Education (BEd) – Further Education and Training (FET) Phase (Grades 10 – 12)
Bachelor of Education (BEd) – Foundation Phase (Grade R – 3)
These programmes are not “how to teach” programmes. Their focus is not on theories
or on giving guidelines for “the transfer of knowledge”. Instead, they were designed to
prepare our students to be critical thinkers, capable of continuous evaluation of their own
contribution to education as well as to the wider community.
In addition, through both the choice of learning content and the manner in which student

Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment Faculty of Engineering
Email engineering@uj.ac.za and the Built Environment
The UJ’s Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment is now one of
the largest and best-equipped faculties in Southern Africa. With the high
demand for engineers in our rapidly developing country, the Faculty is a
leading provider of well-qualified and accredited engineers, technologists
and technicians for the industry. The faculty is well known for its exceptional
standard of education and research offering programmes that are
accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
Engineering is the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific and
technical knowledge to the design, analysis and/or construction of works
for practical purposes.
The history of the concept of engineering stems from the earliest times
when humans began to make ingenious inventions, such as the pulley,
lever, wheel, etc. The denotation of the modern word “engineer”
relates to a person occupationally connected with the study, design and
implementation of ingenious devices for human use. The word “engine”
derives from the Latin ingenium, meaning the insight and ability to
provide solutions for the technical needs of society to live constructive and
satisfactory lives. In a nutshell, an engineer is essentially someone who
makes useful or practical inventions necessary for everyday life.

Faculty of Humanities
Email yaliwen@uj.ac.za
The Faculty of Humanities comprises nineteen academic

departments ranging from modern and ancient languages
to the social sciences. The Faculty offers more than twenty
undergraduate degree programmes, catering for a wide range
of study and career opportunities. Moreover, there is ample
choice in each programme, allowing students to tailor the
contents of their programmes to suit their interests and needs.
The modules in each programme contain information, analyses
and theories that are relevant, up to date and of the highest
academic standard. Academic departments offer postgraduate
programmes up to doctoral level.
Intellectually, the Faculty is vibrant, with a strong research output,
numerous public seminars, and a healthy tradition of debate.
Students are encouraged to question and explore, and to
interrogate knowledge paradigms rather than simply accept them.
A principal objective of the Faculty is to produce graduates capable
of advanced analytical and critical thinking skills, independent
and progressive thinking, allowing them to access and contribute
towards all forms of human knowledge, and to make dynamic
interventions in their chosen professions. Humanities graduates
often achieve public prominence, and contribute towards social
change aimed at increasing the social good.

The Faculty of Science prides itself on its vibrant, dynamic and diverse
scientific community of scholars who are passionate about enhancing the
learning experience of their students, enhancing the research profile of the
Faculty and enhancing the academic, social and economic impact of the
Faculty’s teaching and research programmes.
Innovative education, internationally competitive research, as well as
community development, are integrated into a dynamic synergy.
We provide outstanding service to our students in respect of learning
programmes, learning facilities, in-service training and a learning environment that is
conducive to life-long learning. Extended programmes are offered as alternative access
routes to students who require them, and academic support and mentorship programmes
are provided to students who need additional guidance and assistance. Our students are
in great demand in the business sector and contribute significantly to the industry.
The Faculty is an active player in a wider network of national and international
partnerships and collaborations. One example is a joint PhD programme with the
reputable St Andrews University in Scotland. With regard to undergraduate programmes,
we are proud that the UJ is the only university in Africa, and only the third outside the
UK, that holds accreditation from the British Computer Society for our BSc degree
programme in Information Technology.
These and other international partnerships with prestigious institutions are testimony to the
high esteem that our staff, students and programmes enjoy in the international community.
Each year, several staff members and students receive national and international acclaim
for research and other academic achievements. It is also a great source of satisfaction to
the Faculty that it has a unique state-of-the-art analytical research facility, which houses
the multi-user analytical apparatus of the Faculty in a single unit.
It is evident from all of the above that the Faculty of Science is fully dedicated to realising
all of its ideals.
