UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

Directorate History

The Directorate of Undergraduate Studies was established by the SAUT Council in October 2020. Its establishment is a measure taken to free the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (DVCAA) from the day to day operational issues so that he/she can have more time to concentrate on administration, policy, strategic and cross-cutting issues. Previously, most activities that currently fall under the Directorate of Undergraduate Studies were directly managed by the DVCAA.

The directorate is divided into two main sections; the first section deals with matters connected to degree programmes while the second section deals with matters pertaining to Non-degree programmes. Each section has its Coordinator who reports to the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
