DearProspectiveStudent

What an exciting time lies ahead for you! Your school career is nearly at an end and you are about to decide on your future career – one of the most important decisions you will ever make. It will not only determine your further education and career, but will also influence your personal development and growth as an individual. Moreover, it will equip you to play your part in creating a stronger and better South Africa for all. Our youth and their education – in an all-embracing sense – lie very close to the heart of the University of Johannesburg (UJ).

The UJ is a premier African city university. With some 40 000 students, we are one of the largest residential universities in the country, reflecting more choices, more opportunities and greater diversity. The University offers a comprehensive range of learning programmes – from career-oriented and traditional academic to professional and post-graduate qualifications – and a host of sports, arts and cultural activities.

We belong to different cultures, we have diverse backgrounds and we speak many languages – here we embrace and value our rich diversity. This is the kind of environment in which students excel academically and intellectually, and in which they are encouraged to develop into confident balanced individuals. UJ students are provided with opportunities to be educated in all facets of life.

BornfromthemergerbetweentheformerRandAfrikaansUniversity, the Technikon Witwatersrand and two campuses of the Vista University on 1 January 2005, the UJ has the benefit of creating its own new identity as a vibrant, embracing city university with a diverse campus community. Moreover, in spite of being a young university, the UJ is building on the solid foundations of the many years of proven excellence and experience of its founding partners. It is also a university that is acutely aware of its social responsibility and that understands the needs of our country.

At the University of Johannesburg we strive to graduate informed, reflective, thinking and well-rounded pioneers and builders of our nation. Here students have the opportunity to develop their potential to the fullest. We invite you to enroll at one of the foremost higher education institutions on the African continent!

As an international applicant, you are required to apply for admission to the UJ first. If your application is successful, a letter of admission status (conditional/provisional) will be sent to you, after which you may apply for a study permit for the UJ. You may apply for a study permit from the South African embassy or South African diplomatic mission in

your country or at any Home Affairs Office in South Africa. (Please visit UJ’s International Office home page for the exceptions:www.uj.ac.za/international)

For more detailed information, we suggest that you contact the South African diplomatic mission nearest to you. You mayalsovisitthewebsiteoftheDepartmentofHomeAffairsformoreinformation:www.dha.gov.za

Medical / Health CoverIn terms of the Immigration Amendment Act 19 of 2004, any prospectivestudenttotheRepublicofSouthAfrica,mustbe in possession of medical cover with a medical scheme registered in terms of the Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998. In order to comply with the above requirement, the University requires proof of full medical cover with a South African-based medical aid scheme for a full calendar year.

Is a hospital plan acceptable?No, you need to take out a medical cover that will cover ALL medical costs while you are in South Africa for your studies. Please take careful note of the conditions of your medical insurance coverage as to whether you should be admitted to state hospitals or private hospitals/clinics. Since a hospital plan excludes most medical expenses, a hospital plan only will NOT be acceptable.

The Board of Medical Schemes in South AfricaAppropriate medical cover should be registered with the Board of Medical Schemes Act of South Africa. Governments who sponsor their students to study in South Africa should check their medical cover situation and make sure it is either registered in South Africa or formally recognisedbytheDepartmentofHomeAffairs.Ifyouarea sponsored student, please ensure that you advise your sponsor of this requirement. When applying for your study permit please take proof of your medical cover to the South African Mission concerned. You are also required to bring this proof to the International Office when you arrive to register at the University. You will NOT be permitted to register without medical cover.

You are welcome to visit the website of the Board of Medical Schemes in South Africa to explore other medical cover options. Website: www.medicalschemes.com

Proof of medical cover at RegistrationWhen international students arrive on campus to register it is the responsibility of the UJ’s international office to request proof of medical cover. You will not be allowed to register without this.

Medical cover adviceTo help you decide which product best suits your needs, you maycontactYenzaniFinancialServices,theUJ’shealthcareintermediaries. They have been appointed to assist international students in making their choice. They can be contacted on Helpdesk+27866506916oratwww.yenzani.co.za

Faculty of Education

TheUJ’sFacultyofEducationisengagedanddynamicinadvancingeducationasprofessional 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 know ledge 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 threeInitialProfessionalEducationofTeachers(IPET)programmes,namely:BachelorofEducation(BEd)–SeniorPhase(Grades7–9)BachelorofEducation(BEd)–FurtherEducationandTraining(FET)Phase(Grades10–12)BachelorofEducation(BEd)–FoundationPhase(GradeR–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 learning is guided and supported, these programmes are aimed at inspiring our students to care – about those they will teach, about what they will teach and about the way that their teaching can change their world.

TheUJ’sFacultyofEngineeringandtheBuiltEnvironmentisnowoneofthe 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 accreditedbytheEngineeringCouncilofSouthAfrica(ECSA).

Engineeringisthedisciplineofacquiringandapplyingscientificandtechnical 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.
