The Department of Architecture’s professional programme is structured as follows: a three-year Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Studies (BAS), followed by a one- year BAS (Honours) degree and a one-year MArch (Prof) degree in Architecture thereafter. Once you have completed your BAS degree, should you decide not to proceed further, and complying with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession’s (SACAP) practical training and exam requirements, you can register as an architectural technologist. Should you also complete your BAS (Honours) studies and comply with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession’s (SACAP) practical training and exam requirements, you can register as a senior architectural technologist. Only once you have completed the MArch (Professional) degree and have complied with SACAP’s practical training requirements and exam requirements, will you be able to register as a professional architect. The Architectural programmes are SACAP (South African Council for the Architectural Profession) and CAA (Commonwealth Association of Architects) accredited. Please note: Prospective students will only be notified by the admissions office of the outcome of their application once they have met with the department to discuss their portfolio and interviewed for a place in the BAS degree.

This programme provides candidates who wish to qualify as Chartered Accountants (SA) with the opportunity of an additional major in Computer Science and Information Systems. After completing this degree, students may proceed to the Postgraduate Diploma in Accountancy, and then the professional examinations administered by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) and complete a three-year training contract, in order to qualify as a chartered accountant.
