About this qualification
This is a 385-credit Bachelor of Arts qualification at NQF Level 7 in the Communication Studies subfield, focused broadly on the application of design within an arts-based degree. The supplied registration record shows an end date of 31 December 2014, so its current availability should not be assumed.
Who might consider this qualification?
It may be worth considering for someone interested in studying design through a Bachelor of Arts framework and exploring how design can be applied in communication-related contexts. This is general guidance rather than an admission rule.
How this qualification may support career preparation
The qualification may support further development toward design- and communication-related work, but no approved related careers were supplied. It does not guarantee employment, appointment or professional registration. Because the supplied registration record ended in 2014 and current status is unavailable, prospective learners should verify whether any recognised enrolment pathway remains available.

- Applying design concepts in practical or communication-related contexts
