The programmes are grouped according to their home faculty. UCT supports interdisciplinary study. Students may apply for whichever programme that interests them, regardless of their academic background, provided they meet the minimum entry requirements for the programme. Therefore students are encouraged to search through this list of programmes and other faculties' programmes.
For example the Master of Philosophy in Development Policy and Practice [CM033DPP01] is listed under Commerce (its home faculty) but only requires that a student holds an honours degree to enrol for it. Many such opportunities exist in different faculties and students are encouraged to look for them.
Similarly students are encouraged to select courses from different faculties. There are many courses listed on this website that allow students from different academic backgrounds to enrol for them. Students are encouraged to select such courses to enrich their learning experience.
Honours or Master’s in Justice and Transformation [POL06]
The Honours or Master’s specialisation has been designed to locate current concerns and topical interests in justice and transformation in the more general perspectives of normative theory and comparative studies. It is inspired by the new directions in writing, research and teaching generated by the South African TRC-process but not confined to these. Instead, it links these new research interests and current debates in the area of transitional justice (including human rights law, conflict resolution and peace- building, and social justice in transformation) with the more lasting intellectual perspectives provided by a thorough grounding in relevant academic disciplines.
Qualification name: BA/BSocScHons specialising in Justice and Transformation
MPhil specialising in Justice and Transformation
Delivery Mode and Duration: Honours: 1 year Contact, Fulltime
Master’s: 2 years Contact, Fulltime
General Entry requirements
Faculty admission requirements as set out under Rules FH3 and FM3 apply.
-
At Honours level: a first degree majoring with an upper 2nd or close approximation.
-
At Master’s level: a good Honours degree or its equivalent.
-
Applicants should ideally have a major in, or some exposure to, Politics as an undergraduate subject. However, depending on which area of concentration the applicant is interested in, the following additional study backgrounds may be taken into account when assessing applications:
Transitional Justice: Majors in Politics, History, Philosophy, Sociology, Literature
Human Rights: Senior courses in Law, LLB
Conflict Resolution: Majors in Politics, Psychology, Social Anthropology, Sociology
Social Justice in Transformation: Majors in Politics, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Psychology, Development Studies
Convener: Dr H Scanlon, BA(Hons) Manchester MA PhD (African History) London
Prescribed curriculum: Two core courses and a selection of electives in the areas of Transitional Justice, Human Rights, Conflict Resolution, and Social Justice in Transformation. Course selections are made with the following aims in mind:
Transitional Justice: Courses in the area of Transitional Justice aim to provide a theoretical grounding and comparative understanding of the interdisciplinary field of Transitional Justice at the intersection of human rights discourses, democratic transitions and post-conflict reconciliation.
Human Rights Law: Courses in the area of Human Rights Law aims to ground the professional and specialist studies in law in a broader theoretical and comparative understanding of the historical and political contexts in which Human Rights Law functions.
Conflict Resolution: Courses in Conflict Resolution aim to provide a comparative understanding and practice orientated introduction to current approaches to peace operations and post-conflict reconciliation in the African context.
Social Justice in Transformations: Courses in Social Justice in Transformation are designed to combine a focus on issues of social justice related to poverty and development with the combating of legacies of racism and redressing racial, gender and social inequalities within more general normative and theoretical perspectives.
Some of the areas of concentration provide for Internships, which may be substituted for one of the elective options (but not for the core courses).
