The minimum length of time to complete the Sociology programme at Stellenbosch University once the proposal has been approved in terms of Faculty requirements is two years, although in practice many students take longer.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Additional structured work, including participating in selected postgraduate modules in other departmental programmes (for instance, modules on research methods or on sociological theory) may be required of the candidate, in support of his or her individual research programme.

This will depend on the nature of the dissertation and the evaluation of the supervisor, and will be negotiated with each student individually.
