Since its inception in 1986, large numbers of professional people from a wide variety of occupations from everywhere in South Africa and abroad have benefited intellectually and professionally from this programme. Although the department's unique system of distance tuition makes the programme particularly attractive to people practising a full-time profession, the programme has also attracted a significant number of full-time students over the years. The programme content is continually revised to keep up with the requirements of the language professions, new linguistic insights and the changing needs of students. The aim of the programme is to equip students with – * a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of current theoretical insights in a linguistic domain relevant to their profession, and * the skills needed to apply these theoretical insights in an informed, critical and creative way to solve problems of language practice. To achieve this aim, students in the programme are instructed in – * the theoretical linguistic concepts and principles required for analysing and understanding problematic aspects of linguistic phenomena related to their profession; * the patterns of thought, forms of argumentation and methods of research that characterise the study of these phenomena within the relevant theoretical framework; and * general intellectual norms such as those of conceptual precision, reasonedness, coherence, clarity of formulation, etc. The object of the programme is, first and foremost, to make a significant contribution to the enhancement of each student's professional expertise and general intellectual skills.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees The minimum formal qualification required for admission to the programme is a Bachelor's degree with a major in linguistics, a language, a language-related subject, or speech therapy (logopaedics).  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
