- After the first year of study (consisting of four courses and a research essay/project), students graduate with an Honours degree.
- Students can then continue into year two (provided they meet the admission requirements for the Masters’s program) and graduate with a Masters’s degree after completing four further courses and a minor dissertation. University Of Cape Town Graduate School
