The degree is by full dissertation, and we require a research proposal for selection purposes.
Entrance requirements
Honours degree or equivalent at NQF Level 8 (65% or above).
Apply via the university’s online applications website: http://applyonline.uct.ac.za and attach a research proposal with your application. Guidelines for the writing of the proposal can be found on the Humanities Faculty website at https://humanities.uct.ac.za/postgraduate-postgraduate-studies-navigating-thesis/getting-started. The proposal will help us ensure that we have the necessary expertise in the Department to supervise you. On acceptance, you will be made an offer by the University, after which the registration process can proceed. Candidates are encouraged to come to Cape Town to register and to meet with their supervisors, but after that they may work on their own and submit work electronically.
