Faculty of Humanities and Department of African Languages
The departments were established in 1951 and 1982 at the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa campuses respectively. Both departments share the same curriculum and operate under the same strategic objectives with some differentiated niche areas. On our website we provide an outline of the scope of our undergraduate and postgraduate courses, admission requirements and general information captured on our departmental broachers.
At undergraduate level, there is a variety of modules offered in Sesotho and isiZulu at Qwaqwa campus and Sesotho (mother tongue and non-mother tongue) only at Bloemfontein campus, as well as conversational short learning course in Sesotho for none academic purposes at both campuses.
At postgraduate level, provision is made for Sesotho honours programme, while master’s and doctoral research studies accommodate Sesotho language groups, namely, Sesotho, Setswana and Sepedi.
The department offers language courses that provides basic language skills which are fundamental to careers in language practice such as translation and interpretation, text editing and creative writing.
