About this qualification

The Bachelor of Arts is a 360-credit higher-education qualification at NQF Level 6 in the General Social Science subfield. It provides a broad academic foundation for understanding society and social issues, rather than preparing readers for one guaranteed occupation or professional registration.

Who might consider this qualification?

This qualification may suit people interested in broad social science study and in developing an academic foundation for further learning or work that values an understanding of society and social issues. Suitability and admission depend on the relevant provider’s requirements.

How this qualification may support career preparation
