ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

• All Postgraduate degrees in our department require a basic minimum entrance requirement of 65% obtained in the previous degree (Politics, International Relations, or a cognate discipline). See the Humanities Postgraduate Yearbook

• Applicants meeting the basic entrance requirement are welcome to submit all necessary documentation via the official UJ online application system which opens annually on 1st April and closes on 31st October for applicants applying for the following year. (https://www.uj.ac.za/studyatUJ/sec/Pages/Postgraduate-Applicant.aspx)

• Please note that academic performance is only one criterion and the department may limit the number of admissions due to constraints of space and supervision capacity in the interests of quality of instruction.

• Candidates might also be asked to complete a writing exercise or be asked to attend an interview as part of the application process. These could also be taken into account in determining an applicant’s eligibility for admission to advanced studies.

• International students: please consult the International Office for specific prerequisites including study permits, medical cover, and English language proficiency requirements. The international office will, where applicable, refer candidates to the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA, www.saqa.org.za) for validation of qualifications, as well as for English language proficiency testing. A SAQA certificate should, where appropriate, be submitted online together with the other required documents. The International Office also provides information about the application procedure.
