Executive Dean of the Faculty

Dr Stanley Mukhola obtained his Doctorate in Environmental Education from the University of Jo-
hannesburg. His areas of expertise include Environmental education; Food, Water and Sanitation.
Dr Mukhola is passionate about the transformation of higher education in South Africa and is
committed to quality education. He was involved in all the Higher Education Quality Committee
(HEQC) audits at this University and he has chaired audit committees of other universities. Under
his leadership, the first libraries were opened as community projects in rural Limpopo and in
KwaZulu-Natal.

A word from the Dean

I am extremely excited about 2012 and I hope you are too. At
TUT, we nurture cultural diversity and we are passionate about
uplifting people and helping them realise their dreams. I want
to assure you that you will make the right decision to entrust
us with your future. So, join TUT, a learning institution with
an innovative spirit where academic and practical training con-
stantly add value to global standards.
We used to think that education was something which happened
to you when you went to school. We thought that teachers and
books were the main sources of education. Now, we know that
education is a life long process. We know that all experience,
in some measure, educates and that the purpose of the school
is only to guide this experience. Remember this, do not leave
education up to your teachers. Take responsibility for your life
and dreams.
Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a struggle - accept it.
Life is an adventure - date it.
Life is sorrow – overcome it.
Life is a duty - perform it.
Life is a mystery - unfold it.
Life is a dream - realise it.
Life is a journey - complete it.
Life is love - enjoy it.
Life is beauty - praise it.
Good luck with the academic year and with your career choices.
Enjoy life and this journey to the fulfillment of your dreams!

Associate Dean of
the Faculty

Prof Elsabe Coetzee is the Associate Dean of the Faculty
of Humanities and her office is situated on the Soshanguve
North campus. This campus accommodates four of the eight
departments of the Faculty. Apart from assisting the Executive
Dean in all the management activities of the Faculty, Prof
Coetzee is also the Faculty coordinator with regard to the
planning and execution of the Integrated and Operational Plan
(building and renovation projects) on the Soshanguve campuses.
A major electricity upgrading project on the Soshanguve North
campus was completed in 2011. Teaching venues on both
Soshanguve campuses are in the process of renovation and are
being equipped with the most modern teaching and learning
technology. Strict safety and security measures are currently
implemented on these campuses. In the near future, the main
entrances and landscaping areas will be attended to.
Prof Coetzee’s ideal is to cooperate in all processes with the
aim of making the TUT campuses the centre of attraction in our
environment. Soshanguve residents and students should always
be proud of TUT, know what the university means to them and
how they can be involved in the development that TUT brings
to them.
Prof Coetzee is also involved in research and is focusing on top-
ics like community engagement, postgraduate studies and open
and distance learning. The Faculty of Humanities has devel-
oped impressively in many areas over the past few years and
she is proud to be part of the management team of the Faculty
of Humanities and TUT.
I am honoured to serve TUT, the students and the community
during these interesting times. I want to contribute to a legacy
for the next generation in order for them to fully participate in
and experience academic privileges.

Faculty of Humanities Applied Languages Department of Applied Languages
Prof Mashudu C Mashige
Department of Applied Language is an instrument without which no human being, organ-
Languages isation or community can function effectively. By using words:
• people interact;
• products and services are marketed;
• companies are managed;
• negotiations are conducted and conflicts defused;
• knowledge is acquired and shared;
• realities are created and changed; and
• people empower themselves.
A language practitioner is assured of ample challenging employ-
ment opportunities … and an exciting work environment!
The Department is probably one of the largest language depart-
ments in South Africa, offering service subjects to more than 45
National Diploma and Bachelor of Technology programmes on
six geographically dispersed campuses (Pretoria, Soshanguve,
Ga-Rankuwa, eMalahleni, Polokwane, Nelspruit).

QUALIFICATIONS, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
AND COURSE STRUCTURE

Language Practice
The minimum requirement for admission to the three-year Na-
tional Diploma: Language Practice, is a Senior Certificate or
equivalent qualification, with at least D symbols or level 4 score
for the major languages offered in the programme. Students
with an N Dip: Language Practice, a BA (Languages) or an equiv-
alent qualification may apply for admission to the Bachelor of
Technology degree programme in Language Practice (a fourth
year of study, equivalent to the traditional honours degree).
Students are selected with care and only a limited number are
accepted for this prestigious programme.

The practical course content, firmly based on scientific theory,
and the entrepreneurial approach enable competent graduates
to present themselves to prospective employers with confi-
d ence, and also to generate employment.
For admission to the Master of Technology programme, a B Tech:
Language Practice, BA (Hons) (Languages) or an equivalent
four-year qualification is required. Candidates for the M Tech:

Department of Applied Languages

Faculty of Humanities

Language Practice have a choice between a research project and a dissertation on an approved
topic from the language practice field or a study course in Computer-Assisted Language Teaching
(CALT). The Doctorate in Language Practice (D Tech) comprises a research project and a thesis on an
approved, industry-related theme. The Department of Applied Languages is the only department in
South Africa to offer master’s and doctoral programmes in Language Practice and CALT.
VERSATILE Broadcasting
A one-year National Certificate programme in Versatile Broadcasting is currently offered at the
Soshanguve South Campus, with a view to extending it to a full National Diploma programme in
the near future.

Admission requirements
A Senior Certificate or an equivalent qualification. English or Afrikaans with a D symbol (second
language) or a D symbol (first language) or level 4 score. In exceptional cases, the head of the
department may permit applicants who do not comply with all the language entry requirements to
take part in the selection process.

All prospective students undergo a selection process. Successful candidates will then be invited for
a voice test. Oral and written language proficiency is extremely important and special emphasis will
be placed on these skills during selection. The programme provides hands-on training on modern
equipment in a range of broadcasting skills. The facilitators are all experienced professionals
specially selected to offer the best possible training. This department is one of only two in South
Africa offering a nationally accredited qualification in this field, and was the first to do so. Please
note: Acceptance and Enrollment of one programme i.e. Language Practice does not mean automatic
qualification and acceptance for the other programme i.e. Versatile Broadcasting and vice-versa.
