Teaching and Learning Strategies
The requirements of the NQF underline the acquisition of cognitive skills and competencies
exceeding the knowledge and understanding of subject specifc knowledge items and
professional/technical competencies. Thus, the qualifcation focuses on the engagement of
students in an interactive learning process in order to provide for the development of generic
cognitive and intellectual skills, key transferable skills, and, as the case may be, subject specifc
and/or professional/technical practical skills.
This learning process will be facilitated both in and outside the classroom, requiring specifc
tasks to be carried out by the student. This facilitation will make use of, inter alia, practicals,
projects, quizzes, lectures, oral presentations, assignments, excursions, presentation of audio-
visual materials, problem based learning and individual and/or group work. The progress of
learning embedded in such tasks will be monitored, recorded and assessed.
Assessment strategies
In addition to the general requirements of Senate, the assessment of the students academic
performance will be on the basis of employing assessment methodologies and strategies
appropriate to the learning outcomes of the different courses. For the Bachelor of Agriculture,
all courses will be assessed using a combination of Continuous Assessment (CA) and an end-of
semester examination. CA and the examination will contribute in a ratio of 60/40 to the Final
Mark. In order to be admitted to the examination, a semester mark of at least 40 % is required.
To obtain a fnal pass mark, a student must attain at least 50 % in a course, subject to a sub-
minimum of 40% in the examination. Some courses may use open book tests/examinations
to allow students access to their study materials at the discretion of the examiner.
The Bachelor degree student must also undertake a compulsory component of Work-Integrated
Learning (WIL) during which they have to record all duties performed, do a basic research
project and present their general duties and research fndings. The student is also evaluated
in terms of work ethics and attitude by his mentor at the duty station, as well as the tutor
from the Polytechnic. A minimum of 50% is required to pass the basic research project. It is
recommended that students should have at least a code 8 drivers license before going on WIL.
Transition Arrangements
The Bachelor of Agricultural Management (old curriculum), currently offered over 7 semesters,
will be phased out systematically until 2020 with minimal disruption to existing students learning
13
progression. The last intake of 1st year students for the out-phasing programme (old curriculum)
was in January 2013. The last intake for the fnal year of the out-phasing programme (old
curriculum), will be in 2018. The last cohort of students, to be registered for the fnal year in
2018, would have until 2020 to complete the out-phasing programme (old curriculum).
Students who are registered in 2013 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old
curriculum), and who fail more than 50% of the courses at the end of the year, will be required
to change their registration to the new programme and will be granted credits on a course-by-
course basis in accordance with information in Table 1 below. Students who are registered
in 2013 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum) and who meet all
requirements to progress to the 2nd year in 2014 will be allowed to transition to the revised
programme (new curriculum) but will lose the credits for Basic Accounting 1A.
The revised Bachelor of Agriculture (New curriculum) will take effect from January 2014 with
the concurrent completion of the 1st and 2nd year (2014) and the implementation of the 3rd
year in 2015. Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised syllabi in 2014 (1st and
2nd year) and 2015 (3rd year). Students who are admitted into the examination but fail any of
the courses on the old curriculum will only be granted two opportunities to pass such courses
in accordance with the Polytechnics general rules. Students who fail any of the courses on
the old curriculum will be required to repeat the failed courses based on syllabi of new/revised
corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2, below, for detailed information on the new/
revised corresponding courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.
The deadline for complete phasing out of the Bachelor of Agricultural Management (old
curriculum) is 2020 after which students must automatically switch to the new programme
and fulfll all requirements based of the new curriculum.

BACHELOR OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (NATURE CONSERVATION) O7BNTC
Description
The Bachelor of Natural Resource Management (Nature Conservation) supports students in
the feld of Natural Resource Management (Nature Conservation) to acquire the necessary
knowledge, skills and attitudes to ensure the sustainable utilisation of Namibias natural
resources, with the focus on conservation. This will allow graduates to contribute towards the
national economy of Namibia. Graduates will typically be employed in positions such as Natural
Resource Managers (middle management positions), Nature Conservationists, Environmental
Education Offcers, Environmental Practitioners, Research Assistants, Tour Guides, etc.
Candidates may be admitted to the Bachelor of Natural Resource Management (Nature
Conservation) if they meet the General Admission Requirements of the Polytechnic of Namibia
Senate and complies with the following additional requirements.
A pass in Biology or a Biology-related subject, with at least a C symbol at NSSC Ordinary
Level;
A pass in Mathematics with at least an E symbol at NSSC Ordinary Level;
A pass in English with at least a D symbol at NSSC Ordinary Level.
Candidates who meet the Mature Age Entry requirements of the Polytechnic of Namibia (GI2.2
in Part 1 of the Polytechnic Yearbook) will be considered, but may be required to pass an
additional admission test, compiled by the Department of Nature Conservatoin.
Candidates must be medically ft, since feld and physical work form an integral part of this
study programme.
Examination Requirements (Bachelor of Natural Resource Management: Nature
Conservation)
performance will be on the basis of a semester mark and examination mark. Assessment will
be according to the syllabus description for the different courses. A semester mark of 40%
is required for admission to the examinations and all courses require a fnal mark of at least
50% to pass. Continuous Assessment, for both theory and practicals, contributes 60% to the
fnal mark of all Bachelor degree courses presented by Nature Conservation, except where
stipulated otherwise in the course syllabus. A written examination of three hours (one paper)
contributes 40% to the fnal mark and a sub minimum of 40% is required. The proportion of
overall marks allocated to theory and practicals should correlate with the proportion of time
allocated to each.
All core courses will be evaluated according to the evaluation criteria of those Departments.
Work-integrated Learning
The Bachelor degree student must undergo compulsory Work-integrated Learning in the
ffth semester of the programme. Before deciding on a duty station, he/she should make
sure that activities required by the programme will be available. A minimum overall pass
of 50% is required. A minimum of 40% is required for the research/monitoring project. It is
recommended that students should have at least a code 8 drivers licence before going on
Work-integrated Learning.
20
The revised Bachelor programme (new curriculum) took effect from January 2012 and will be
completely phased in by 2014. The National Diploma in Natural Resource Management (Nature
Conservation), i.e. old curricululm, will be phased out systematically with minimal disruption to
existing students learning progression. The deadline for complete phasing out of the National
Diploma (old curriculum) is the end of 2015. The frst year of the National Diploma was offered
for the last time in 2011. Students who registered in 2011 would have until the end of 2015
to complete the National Diploma programme (old curriculum).
Students who fail any of the courses in the old curriculum will be provided with the second
opportunity to pass the failed courses. Should they still fail, after the second opportunity,
they will be required to attend the equivalent new courses. Courses presented in the existing
National Diploma are subsumed in the Bachelor programme (with amendments/revisions).
Therefore, diploma students who have failed a course may be able to repeat the same course
which is also presented to the degree students, while not necessarily switching to the new
Bachelor programme.
In practical terms this will imply that repeaters from the existing National Diploma and Bachelor
degree students will be accommodated in the same class, doing the same course contents
while the course codes for their courses are different (old and new). The same principle will
apply in the case where not only the codes differ but also a name change and a minor change
in course contents took place (For example, a diploma student who has failed Plant Studies
1 will be repeating Plant Studies 1 but will be accommodate in the new, equivalent course,
namely Nature Conservation Biology, while still registered for the diploma programme. The
only implication will be that examination papers will include both names - old and new - and
the codes for the different courses). The deadline for complete phasing out of the National
DIploma is end of 2015 after which students will have to register for the new programme.
The frst year of the National Diploma (to be phased out) will be offered for the last time in 2011.
First year students who fail more that 50% of the courses at the end of 2011 will be required
to change their registration to the new programme in 2012. Students who are in their second
or third year of the out-phasing National Diploma may opt to transfer (whether they pass or
fail) to the new programme. They will then be required to make up specifc defciencies in
accordance with the detailed requirements for the new curriculum, including the completion
of Institutional Core courses.

Special Admission Requirements
Candidates may be admitted to the Land Management programmes if they meet the General
Polytechnic admission requirements of at least 25 aggregate points in 5 subjects, and comply
with the following conditions:
Must hold at least a Grade 12 certifcate at NSSC (Ordinary) level with passes in
English and Mathematics with minimum D symbols. Physics and Geography are highly
recommended.
Students who only gain entry into Language in Practice may also be admitted, but will
be required to advance to English in Practice before their third year of study.
Mature age applicants and applicants with foreign qualifcations may be considered for
admission.
Must be medically and physically ft for feldwork, which forms an integral part of the
programme.
Must be able and be prepared to attend classes on full-time basis.
Must meet the programme-specifc requirements as listed in the subsequent description
of the various programmes.
Important Note: Meeting the above-mentioned qualifcations does not automatically
guarantee admission to the respective programmes. If the number of (formally) qualifed
applicants exceeds the (limited) number of available places for the new programme intake,
the best applicants will be selected in a step-by-step procedure. On the basis of the data of
the formal application for a programme, a number of potential students will be selected for
a pre-selection process which takes place just before the registration. Depending on the
number of applicants and the requirements of the respective programme, this pre-selection
may consider the respective fnal school results only or may (additionally) include a written
pre-selection test or an interview. Applicants from abroad and Mature Age applicants will be
selected based on a separate procedure.
Assessment
Depending on the respective contents and characteristics of the course, the performance of the
students is assessed either by a semester mark plus an (end-of-semester) fnal examination
mark or by continuous assessment.
26
The semester mark is based on a minimum of two written tests which may be complemented
by additional tests and/or other assessments such as assignments, practicals, projects etc.
Unless specifed otherwise, an average of 40% must be achieved in the semester mark to be
admitted to the fnal examination. The fnal examination at the end of the semester consists of
a written examination of either two or three hours. Unless specifed otherwise, the semester
mark is weighted with 40% and the fnal examination mark counts for 60%.
If a course is assessed on the basis of continuous assessment, the course mark of 100% is
based on a series of assessments which may include: tests, assignments, projects, reports
etc. In this case, no fnal examination is written.
The assessment details for each course are specifed in the respective Course Outline which
is given and explained to the students at the beginning of the semester.

Defnition
Land use planning is the statutory activity of directing and controlling all land use changes in an
administrative area (Municipality, District, Region, Province) by segmenting the area into zones
and designating a planning instrument to each zone. Land Use Zoning (LUZ) is the American
variety of Land Use Planning (LUP). Town & Country Planning is the British equivalent also
used in several southern African countries. Regional Planning, Town & Regional Planning
and Physical Planning are sub sets of LUP in other countries.
By defnition Land Use Planning is the art and science of assigning different parcels of land
to different and competing uses, so that equity, compatibility, economy and aesthetics are
achieved. Planning however is one thing and implementation is another. The broader concept
of creating a plan as well as ensuring that the plan is implemented is referred to as Land Use
Management.

GEOMATICS PROGRAMME
(Offered FULL TIME only)
Defnition
The main goal of the Geomatics programme is to prepare students for a career as Geomatics
Professionals, with high level specialist knowledge and skills in the acquisition, processing,
presentation, and management of geospatial data. Graduates from this programme should
be employable in environments ranging from traditional cadastral and engineering surveying,
to mining surveying, GIS, digital cartography, drafting, land registration, etc.
The programme also aims at developing capacity to fulfl the surveying and registration needs
for implementation of the Namibian Land Reform Programme. This includes aspect of planning,
surveying and registration of rural, communal and urban land.

Main Features and Structure of The Geomatics Programme
Most students will register for the Diploma in Geomatics in Year 1, and may be allowed to
transfer to the B.Sc in Geomatics in Year 2, if they meet the admission requirements for the
B.Sc programme. These students will take a minimum period of four years to complete the
B.Sc in Geomatics.
Exceptional candidates may apply for exemption from the bridging courses, which will allow
them to complete the B.Sc in Geomatics in a minimum period of three years.

The progression rules for transfer from the Diploma to the B.Sc in Geomatics, are as follows:
If the frst year courses Computer User Skills, Introduction to Mathematics Module 2,
Introduction to Physics, and Language in Practice B/English in Practice are passed,
students can register for the B.Sc in Geomatics programme in Year 2.
Students who pass all the above courses except Introduction to Physics and Introduction
to Mathematics Module 2, will be allowed to continue with the Diploma, but not the B.Sc
programme.
Students who do not meet the full admission requirements for the B.Sc programme, should be
able to complete the Diploma in Geomatics programme in a minimum period of three years.

Graduates with a National Diploma in Land Surveying (or similar qualifcation), may be
admitted into the B.Sc. Geomatics programme, subject to the admission requirement of the
B.Sc. Geomatics programme. These students will be granted credit for the courses completed
as set out in the Credit Table on page 26-28, but will be required to complete all outstanding
courses to fulfl the requirements of the B.Sc. in Geomatics.
Credit will be granted for courses completed under the old National Diploma Land Surveying,
as in the Credit Table on pages 26-28.
For admission or transfer to the B.Sc Geomatics programme, former or current National
Diploma Land Surveying students need at least a 3-symbol for Mathematics and Physical
Science at HIGCSE/NSSC Higher level (or an A-symbol at IGCSE/NSSC-O level) and a pass
in the course English Language in Practice B/English in Practice (or Placement into the course
Communication Skills/English for Academic Purposes).
Candidates who do not meet these admission requirements, could improve their Grade 12
marks for Mathematics and Physical Science through various private distance education
institutions (e.g. TUCSIN or NAMCOL), and may be admitted into the B.Sc. programme once
they meet the above requirements.

Exceptional students with a mark of at least 70% for the National Diploma courses Mathematics
& Statistics for Land Management, Basic Surveying and Adjustment of Observations, may be
admitted into the B.Sc. in Geomatics programme at the discretion of the Department.
Considering the credits granted for the courses indicated above, a typical student with a National
Diploma in Land Surveying, admitted into the new B.Sc. Geomatics, will have to complete the
following courses to qualify for the B.Sc. in Geomatics:

In-Service Training
As indicated in above, it would be possible for students who already have a National Diploma in
Land Surveying, to upgrade to a B.Sc Geomatics in a minimum period of two years (excluding
Bridging, e.g. improving Grade 12 marks for Mathematics and Physical Science to allow
Admission to the B.Sc programme).
The old National Diploma in Land Surveying was phased out in 2011.
National Diploma in Land Surveying students who did not complete all courses by the end of
2011 may be allowed to follow the alternative (new) courses, in order to complete their National
Diploma in Land Surveying as in the Transition Table on pages 45-47.

BACHELOR OF GEOINFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 07BGIT
(Offered FULL-TIME only) (Phased in 2011)
Description of qualifcation
A Geographic Information System (GIS) can be defned as a computerised system that facilitates
the phases of spatial data entry, storage, maintenance, analysis and dissemination. It can be
viewed also in general terms as an information technology that is used to acquire, manage,
interpret, integrate, display, analyse, or otherwise use spatial data to produce value-added
information products.
Nationally, the demand for a well trained workforce in GIS is growing as the public and
private sectors seek to facilitate and support service delivery and an expanded, ambitious
and accelerated development agenda of eliminating poverty whether through land reform,
redistribution, resettlement, associated urban and regional planning, environmental
management, natural resources conservation and management, e-governance or otherwise.
The effective execution of these programmes will need reliable GIS technology supported by
a cadre of well trained and skilled GIS operators, technicians and managers.
The Bachelor of Geoinformation Technology aims to provide a skilful and competent labour
force for the growing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) industry in Namibia. The
programme aims at providing graduates with practical and theoretical skills necessary to
successfully design, implement and apply geoinformation technologies that can be used as
decision supporting tools for spatial problems. The programme focuses on the development
of essential practical skills alongside training in fundamental spatial concepts and theory. As
an academic degree, the programme is based on the integration of two scientifc disciplines,
Geosciences and Information Technology. Therefore, the programme is considerably more
technology-oriented, with a strong emphasis on the Geosciences.
Duration
The Bachelor of Geoinformation Technology programme is a three year educational programme
with the following exit levels:
Year 2: Diploma in Geoinformation Technology (Level 6)
Year 3: Bachelor of Geoinformation Technology.
The structure of the programme enables students to select the qualifcation outcome that
meets the roles and contexts required by a wide range of industries and the public sector.
Candidates may be admitted to this programme if they meet the General Admission
Requirements of the Polytechnic of Namibia (GI2.1 in the Prospectus), and comply with the
following additional requirements:
A pass with at least a C symbol in Mathematics at NSSC Ordinary Level or a 4 at NSSC
Higher Level;
A pass with at least a C symbol in English at NSSC Ordinary Level;
A pass with at least a C symbol in Geography at NSSC Ordinary Level is highly
recommended.
Applicants who meet the Mature Age Entry Requirements of the Polytechnic (GI2.2 in Part
1 of the Polytechnic Yearbook) will not be considered for admission to this programme.
60
Credit recognition and transfer arrangements
The transfer of credits will be dealt with according to the Polytechnics regulations on
Recognition of Prior Learning. These provide for course-by-course credits as well as credit
transfer by volume under certain academic conditions. Maximum credit that can be granted
is 50% of the credits for a qualifcation. Polytechnic students migrating from related study
programmes offered at SNRT or SIT will be fully credited for all successfully completed
Common Courses. Graduates of this programme will be able to pursue further studies in
Geoinformation Technology or related disciplines at NQF Level 8.
Teaching and learning strategies
The Bachelor of Geoinformation Technology is composed of taught semester courses and the
course GIT in Practice (Work Integrated Learning) which is offered in Semester 6 (year 3).
The delivery of the semester courses will include lectures, practical assignments, case studies,
workshops, study visits; problem based learning and structured (unsupervised) self-study
and/or group work. This learning process will be facilitated both in and outside the classroom.
The teaching/learning approach to the taught courses is based upon interaction between
lecturers and students and between students themselves. This teaching/learning approach
will aim at developing students critical thinking capacity, communication skills and team work.
The progress of learning embedded in such tasks, will be monitored, recorded and assessed.
The GIT programme has different assessment strategies in line with the learning outcomes of
a particular course. Except for GIT in Practice and other courses specifcally prescribed in the
curriculum to be assessed in continuous evaluation, all the other courses will be assessed on
the basis of a semester mark and examination mark. The semester mark is achieved through
continuous assessments cumulatively contributing 40% of the fnal mark. The examination mark
is achieved through regular end of semester examination, which accounts for the remaining
60% of the fnal mark. To gain admission to the semester examination, a candidate must
have attained at least 40% as semester mark in a given course. GIT in Practice and other
continuous assessment courses (see syllabi) will be assessed according to the Polytechnics
continuous assessment policy. The assessments are designed to make sure that the learning
outcomes of a particular course are attainable.
Transition arrangements for courses dailed under the Old Qualifcation are as in the Transition
The revised Bachelor of Geoinformation Technology programme (BGIT) was implemented in
the academic year of 2011 and will be effective for all newly registered students. The existing
BGIT curriculum will phase-out latest in 2014.
All currently registered full-time and part-time NPC students (National Planning Commission)
can follow all courses of the approved BGIT programme or choose to transit to the newly
revised programme. The following transitional arrangements have been made:
Students who failed more than 50% of all offered 1st year courses in 2010 were required
to transit to the newly revised programme in 2011;
Students who passed more than 50% of all offered 1st year courses in 2010 were able
to continue with the old programme or opt to follow the revised programme from 2011
onwards;
Students who have successfully passed all 2nd year courses in 2010 could follow the
old programme in their 3rd year or opt to follow the revised programme from 2011
onwards;
61
Students who failed their 3rd year in 2010 are able to follow the old programme until
latest 2014 or transit to the revised programme if they wish;
After 2014 all students will need to follow the revised programme.
The School of Information Technology (SIT) has replaced the course Introduction to Systems
Administration (ISA110S) with the course Operating Systems and Networks (ONS120S)
which has approximately 80% equivalence with ISA110S.

The course Database Systems Administration 1 (DSA410S) has phased-out and was offered
the last time in 2011. From then on, only the new course Database Administration (DSA320S)
is offered, which has effectively replaced DSA410S already. The new course DSA320S has
the prerequisites Introduction to Databases 1B (IDB120S) and Database Programming
(DBP220S) which are now included in the curriculum. In the event of a student not being able
to successfully pass DSA410S in 2011 he/she will be given up to a 2nd opportunity (special
examination) to do so. From 2012 onwards all students following the old programme will need
to register for DBP220S and DSA320S.
Students following the old programme will register for In-Service-Training (IGI310S) in
semester fve and the Individual Final Assignment/Bachelor Project (PGI320S) in semester
six as laid out in the approved curriculum. From 2014 onwards IGI310S as well as PGI320S
will be replaced by the course GIT in Practice (WIL).

Credit Recognition
Credit will be granted for courses completed under the Old Qualifcation as in the credit table
on pages 26 - 28.

Bachelor of Regional and Rural Development 07BRRD
ARCHITECTURE PROGRAMME
BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE 59BARC
NQF Level: 7 NQF Credits:400 NQF Qualifcation ID: Q0350
Description
The Bachelor of Architecture will be awarded to candidates credited with a minimum of
400 NQF credits, and who have met the detailed requirements set out below. Furthermore,
students must meet the administrative and fnancial requirements as spelt out in Part 1 of the
Polytechnic of Namibia Yearbook.
In addition to the Polytechnic general regulations, students may not proceed to the next year of
study if they have not passed the Architectural Design course at the current level of registration.
Admission requirements
The admission of students will be by means of a selection process, involving three stages
as follows:
First Stage:
Candidates are assessed on academic merit only. Candidates apply for this stage with their
latest Grade 12/ NSSC Ordinary Level (NSSCO) and/or NSSC Higher Level (NSSCH) results.
Candidates are required to meet the following minimum academic criteria to be considered:
At least 14 points on the Polytechnic evaluation scale for English and Mathematics using
a combination of NSSCH and/or NSSCO, provided that no symbol lower than a C on
NSSCO will be accepted.
A minimum of 21 points on the Polytechnic evaluation scale for any three other subjects
out of the following (or their equivalent): Technical Drawing, Physical Science, Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Fine Art, Arts and Crafts, Literature, Carpentry, and
Economics, using a combination of NSSCH and NSSCO, provided that no symbol lower
than a C on NSSCO will be accepted.
Candidates who meet the minimum academic requirements for admission are then invited to
take a departmental selection test in the next stage. Together with the invitation, they receive
an assessment package via mail, to complete at home and submit on the day of the test.
Second Stage:
Candidates are to be assessed in terms of their general knowledge, abilities and experience
by means of the departmental selection test. Candidates must also submit the assessment
package mentioned above. Based on the outcome of the tests and assessment packages,
the Department then compiles a shortlist of fnal candidates.
Final Stage:
Those candidates who have made the shortlist are invited to participate in the fnal selection
interviews. The results of the Selection Committee are fnal and no discussion or correspondence
67
will be entered into. If the fnal Grade 12 results of candidates, who were selected provisionally,
do not meet the minimum requirements, then fnal admission to the programme will be withheld.
Credit recognition and transfer arrangements
Transfer of credits will be dealt with according to the Polytechnics regulations on Recognition of
Prior Learning. These provide for course-by-course credits as well as credit transfer by volume
under certain academic conditions. Maximum credit that can be granted is 50% of the credits for
a qualifcation. Students who complete the Bachelor of Architecture successfully will ordinarily
be able to undertake further studies at NQF Level 8, i.e. Bachelor of Architecture Honours.
professional and/or technical competencies. Thus, the qualifcation focuses on the engagement
of students in an interactive learning process in order to provide for the development of generic
and/or professional, technical as well as practical skills. This learning process will be facilitated
both in and outside the classroom, requiring specifc tasks to be carried out by students.
This facilitation will make use of a variety of appropriate methods, including design studio,
lectures, practical classes, workshops and seminars, site visits and Work Integrated Learning.
The progress of learning embedded in such tasks will be monitored, recorded and assessed.
Assessment Strategies
Learning and assessment are integrated throughout the programme. Diversifed continuous
assessment is applied in all the core courses in Architecture to ensure that students receive
feedback on their progress towards the achievement of specifc learning outcomes. This will
normally apply to practical assignments to be carried out individually or in groups, tests, class
seminars, as well as technical and project site reports. The brief for the assignment must clearly
explain the aim of the assignment as well as the expected competencies relative to the course.
Assignments, designed to meet the requirements of integrated assessment, accomplish or
deliver:
Integration of qualifcation outcomes in a way that demonstrates that the purpose of
the qualifcation as a whole has been achieved, either totally or within the components
of the study programme;
Demonstration of student competence through evaluation;
Criterion-referenced assessment which has been clearly explained to and is understood
by students.
In the assessment of whether the desired outcomes have been achieved or not, recognition
is given to criteria and evaluation methods that adequately and appropriately achieve such
assessment.
Progression Rules
1. In addition to the PoN regulations, a student may not proceed to the next year of
study if he / she has not passed the Architectural Design course at the current level of
registration.
2. In order to proceed from the Bachelor of Architecture to the Bachelor of Architecture
Honours, students must fulfl all requirements and pass all courses for the Bachelor of
Architecture and pass Architectural Design III with a minimum fnal mark of 70%.
68
3. The maximum allowable interruption of studies between the award of Bachelor of
Architecture degree and start of the Bachelor of Architecture Honours programme is
three years.
CURRICULUM
The student is required to register for both year and frst semester courses in the
beginning of the academic year. Second semester courses can only be registered for
during the second semester registration period.

AGRICULTURE PROGRAMMES
Defnition
Agriculture is aimed at producing food, fuel, fbre and other products, through management of
living organisms and the non-living resources that infuence them. The most common form of
agriculture in Namibia is livestock farming, to produce domestic animals, while arable agriculture
produces crops, fruits and vegetables, and is limited to areas with better rainfall or where extra
water is available for irrigation. Major challenges include the need to improve the effciency
of production, to exploit Namibias comparative advantages, to meet the growing demands
for food and to counter increasing urbanisation. One option is to produce a diversity of both
animals and plants at a high rate in integrated biosystems, whereby they support each other
and optimise use of scarce resources such as water. Other options include the integration of
valuable living organisms into existing farming systems. In order to be sustainable, agriculture
needs to be socially acceptable, it needs to produce in a way that supports ecological
processes that it depends upon, it needs to earn more money than is spent on it and it should
not be too risky. All these issues and many more are included in the agriculture program at
the Polytechnic of Namibia.
BACHELOR OF AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT HONOURS 27BHAM
Functions
The Honours degree produces skilled, hands-on farmers, entrepreneurs, and managers
who have the relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to further agricultural production and
sustainable resource management, in hired or self-employment
Modes of Delivery
The Honours programme is offered in the block-learning mode with intensive workshops, which
takes two years or possibly one year if the student is not employed.
Programme Structure
The Honours degree comprises semester courses as well. There are 3 compulsory courses in
the frst semester and 3 in the second semester. There are at least three contact sessions per
semester. In addition, those students who have not passed a Research Methodology Course
will need to take Marketing Research and Market Intelligence (MRI321S) in order to fulfl the
requirements of the Research Project and Thesis.
77
Special Regulations
Admission

BACHELOR OF AGRICULTURE HONOURS (with specialisation in Sustainable Agriculture
or Agribusiness Management) (Revised Programme) 08BAGH
Description
The Bachelor of Agriculture Honours is an initial postgraduate specialisation degree, designed
for registration at NQF level 8. The programme builds on the outcomes of the Bachelor of
Agriculture and aims at consolidating and deepening the knowledge and skills of students in
the main cognate area of learning, as well as developing their capacity to conduct supervised
research of an applied nature. The programme is structured to facilitate specialisation in
Sustainable Agriculture or Agribusiness Management.
Overall, the Bachelor of Agriculture Honours aims at:
Producing graduates with extensive knowledge of the principles, theories, methodologies
and problem solving techniques of the agriculture discipline;
Providing students with deepened knowledge of advanced concepts and frameworks
in agriculture and facilitate a high level of theoretical engagement;
Capacitating students to conduct supervised research, including identifcation of a
research question, development of rigorous and methodical approaches to the collection
and maintenance of data and records, analysis and interpretation of results, and effective
communication of research information in written and spoken English.
Developing the critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving abilities and skills of
students thereby enabling them to resolve complex problems in agricultural systems.
. Exposing students to relevant policy aspects and interventions in the global agricultural
arena.
Candidates will be considered for admission to the Bachelor of Agriculture Honours if they
have a Bachelor of Agriculture, or a Bachelor of Agricultural Management, from the Polytechnic
of Namibia and a minimum average of 60% in exit level courses. Alternatively, candidates
should have an equivalent qualifcation at NQF level 7 from a recognised institution, worth at
least 360 credits.
