This programme consists of two years applied theoretical and one year experiential training. Students gain a sound grounding in all aspects pertaining to sustainable forest management, such as silviculture, forest management, forest engineering, cost & management accounting, economics and environmental management. This foundation enables students to work in any field related to the global forestry industry. During experiential training, students work at an appropriate site in the industry with experienced foresters and/or forestry contractors acting as role models and mentors. The student gains invaluable technical experience, expanded work perspective and ingrained work ethics.

This programme consists of three years of applied theoretical and one year experiential training. It provides alternative university access to students who have the potential to succeed, but do not meet the minimum admission requirements for the mainstream programme. The purpose of the programme is to integrate additional academic support and skills development with mainstream courses in order to prepare the student for successful completion of the diploma in Forestry.

This programme consists of two years theoretical and one year experiential training. During theoretical training students gain a sound grounding in animal and plant biology, ecology and resource management of South African ecosystems. The increasing need for community programmes such as community conservation and environmental education are also covered. Weekly practical excursions supplement the theory. During experiential training students work with experienced conservators who act as role models and mentors. In this manner the student gains an expanded work perspective and an ingrained work ethic.

This programme consists of two years theoretical and one year experiential training offered on campus and at an approved wood processing facility. The programme covers the whole spectrum of subjects related to the working industrial environment. The subjects are packed with new and relevant information as the industry grows. Class time is also interrupted with visits to primary and secondary wood processing plants to expose students to working environments and new technology.

The programme equips students with in-depth knowledge and skills in the fields of animal production, plant production, financial management, leadership development and strategic management.

This programme equips diplomates with skills and knowledge in the fields of timber processing, seasoning and structures, panel board production, human resource management and environmental management, applied biometry and production engineering (industrial).

This programme provides students with an in-depth knowledge of various aspects in the field of Forestry, including silviculture, management, engineering, biometry, fire ecology, human resource management, woodland management, community forestry, business management and environmental management.

This course aims to prepare students to be conservation managers and field ecologists with advanced knowledge and skills in conservation biology, wildlife ecology, plant ecology, resource management and community engagement.

This BSc degree is based on the three cornerstone subjects in Science (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) and provides an excellent basis for postgraduate studies in these fields. Furthermore, it offers a sensible subject combination for persons wishing to teach physical science and/or mathematics up to senior secondary level This programme will also launch you into a postgraduate programme at Nelson Mandela University in solid state physics, electron microscopy, crystal growth, optical fibre studies and renewable energy; all with an emphasis on materials development. In addition, the programme provides a platform from which students can enter the field of materials science and engineering. Materials scientists develop and analyze various alloys, ceramics and other novel materials. As such they play an increasingly important role in adding value to the range of minerals mined in South Africa.
