Undergraduate Programmes: General Information: Majors, Programmes

The Department offers a range of courses in the different areas of International Relations, Comparative Politics, South African Politics, Political Theory, Political Economy, Public Policy and Public Administration.

Structured combinations of these courses can be taken towards the BA and BSocSci-degrees either as part of a major or as one of various structured programmes. These have been designed to allow flexible articulation so that students may transfer from a major in the general BA or BSocSci programmes, or vice versa, while retaining a maximum number of credits.
