my Choice @ Unisa 2012 master's and doctoral qualifications

Choose Unisa
Embarking on master’s and doctoral postgraduate study is a life-changing experience, both for your career and for
personal growth. Approached correctly it will be extremely rewarding, an intellectual adventure. It can, however,
also be daunting and deeply disappointing, and it remains your responsibility to take advantage of the resources
available to you as a postgraduate student at Unisa. This brochure contains useful information that will assist you
in reaffirming Unisa as your postgraduate university of choice and ensure that you comply with the requirements
of the application process. It also outlines some of the initial challenges that you may face as you embark on your
master’s or doctoral studies.
This brochure will assist you in answering some of these important questions:
• Why is Unisa a good option for postgraduate study?
• Does Unisa offer postgraduate study in my chosen area of specialisation?
• What are the key steps in the application process?
• What are my qualification options and do I fulfil the admission criteria for my chosen qualification?
The most important question, however, is one that this brochure cannot answer: Are you
ready for the personal challenge of postgraduate study? It is a decision not to be taken lightly.
It will demand commitment, academic maturity, discipline, but most of all a true desire to
acquire knowledge and to stretch the parameters of your mind.
