Bachelor of Science Honours in Computing

[Nicmaster]

Hi there

Just a quick question I am completing my BSC information technology with Richfield Graduate Institute of technology so I am wondering if UNISA will let me register for BSC honours in computing with them.

There should be a pre requisite list somewhere. Best is phone them up and ask.

Students with only a major in Information Systems on undergraduate level are strongly advised to take the Information Systems honours modules, and students with only a major in Computer Science on undergraduate level are strongly advised to take the Computer Science honours modules.

So possible but not advised.

It seems like a bit of a leap, but if you can get to do it, you definitely should try.

Erm, did no one actually check the previous name.

In the top bar: "Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology: Previously known as PC Training & Business College"

About 200 students gathered at the PC Training Business College campus near Kliptown, Johannesburg, on Friday to discuss their future, saying they were angry at being misled over the validity of diplomas issued at the institution.

Twenty-four-year-old Samuel Mfupa paid R5 000 for a tourism management course at the college, but his diploma is not worth anything because the institution is not recognised by the Department of Education (DOE).

Ndhlovu added that all private education institutions were expected to make separate applications to provide higher and further education training qualifications.

"According to the information at our disposal, PC Training Business College has only been registered to provide higher education and training, not further education and training," Ndhlovu said.

That was 2002 though.

In the about:

The Institution is registered with the Department of Higher Education as a Private Further & Higher Education and Training Provider under the Further Education and Training Colleges Act, 2006 (Reg. no. 2008/FE07/050) and the Higher Education Act, 1997 (reg. no. 2000/HE07/008) respectively. The Institution is accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE), Umalusi and numerous SETAs. It is also aligning itself to the Quality Council on Trades and Occupations (QCTO).

I did find it on the list of Provider Accredations, still think the place is a bit dodgy, but it has been 17 years.
