    THE UNIVERSITY OF ESWATINI 2021 PROSPECTUS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES Admissions Office University of Eswatini February 2021 Thank you for your enquiry about the University of Eswatini. The aim of the booklet is to provide information about: The University and services it offers. The Undergraduate Study Programmes The Admission Requirements The Application Procedure Please note that the information contained in this booklet was correct at the time of going to print but may be changed without notice. Please address correspondence to: The Registrar Attention: Admissions Office University of Eswatini Private Bag 4 KWALUSENI M201 Or Email us at [email protected] 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Historical Note The University Of Eswatini (UNESWA) developed from the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini (UBLS), formerly known as the University of Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland (UBBS), which had its headquarters in Lesotho between 1964 and 1975. The UBBS had developed from the Pius XII Catholic University College at Roma – so our history has quite deep roots. UNESWA achieved its independent status as a fully-fledged University in 1982. Since achieving university status, UNESWA has continued to grow and to develop in accordance with its stated aim of assisting national development. Student enrolment in accordance has risen steadily, paralleled by an ever-increasing output of graduates since the University’s first Congregation for the conferment of Degrees in 1982. In all 20545 degrees have been conferred, 1156 of them at the 2019 Graduation. The chief mandate, which the university has tried to implement, is human resource production. This is clearly indicated in the type of programmes selected at the beginning, which still constitute a major part of UNESWA programmes.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2008 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 2009 Contents Message From the Dean I 5 Bold Strides Forward I 6 Renewing Organizational Landscapes I 16 Beyond Theory to Practice I 26 Sustaining Relationships I 32 Financial Report I 40 Exhibits I 59 MESSAGE FROM THE The 2008-2009 academic year unfolded amid growing challenges DEAN in the global economic landscape. The climate of uncertainty that pervaded much of the world — coupled with the slow pace of recovery — nonetheless revealed new opportunities for IESE. With an entrepreneurial mindset, IESE aligned its portfolio of executive programs to current economic realities. Our program offerings responded to the wide-ranging questions of alumni and friends about how best to meet current challenges and prepare for the future. New and ongoing programs offered new perspectives, practical strategies, and encouraging support. The overall upswing in participation we saw this year refl ected, we believe, a global awareness of the need for new paradigms. Our response was to encourage business leaders to step back, take a fresh look, innovate and move forward with strength of purpose and optimism. At IESE, we have never been more acutely aware of the role companies play in fueling economic and social progress. We see it as our global social responsibility to develop business leaders with integrity and service orientation: leaders who hold themselves accountable, who value their people, and who recognize that personal and organizational development feed societal growth. As we continue to seize new opportunities for a better future, we are gratifi ed by the dedication of our superlative faculty, administrators, and staff.

The data that was used in this study was collected using three main approaches; internet searches and email for programmes on real estate education worldwide, interviews with the course coordinators at the two universities in Botswana, programme brochures and real estate publications from the existing literature. The population for the study was 42 countries offering real estate education and a sampling frame was compiled based on this figure. A sample size of 30 countries was determined at 90% confidence level with a margin (standard) error of 10% using simple random sampling technique for analysis purposes. Only thirteen (13) countries responded to the survey by providing their curricula and the analysis is based on the 43.33% response rate. Only 6% of the degree courses that are being offered by the thirteen (13) universities were similar (standard) and 94% is the difference in terms of courses being offered by the learning institutions. At national level, the degree programme indicate a difference of 61% in the curricula offered by these universities while at Diploma level there is a 68% difference in courses offered at the two institutions and 73% difference at certificate level.

  • …In Hope and Work
    …in hope and work The Case and a Model for the Transformation of Higher Education in Africa BY PHILLIP L. CLAY Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Mass. August 2016 The views expressed here are those of the author. 1 “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood... Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.” Daniel H. Burnham American architect and city planner 2 About the Author Insert Photo Phillip L. Clay PhD, a professor of city planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, served as MIT’s chancellor from 2001 to 2011.

  • Are Urban Planning Schools in the Global South Prepared for Current Challenges of Climate Change and Disaster Risks?
    sustainability Article Are Urban Planning Schools in the Global South Prepared for Current Challenges of Climate Change and Disaster Risks? Wolfgang Scholz * , Tim Stober and Hannah Sassen Faculty of Spatial Planning, TU Dortmund University, IRPUD, 44221 Dortmund, Germany; [email protected] (T.S.); [email protected] (H.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This article undertakes an analysis of current urban planning programs at universities with a focus on sub-Saharan English-speaking African (SSA) and South East Asian countries (SEA) as comparison cases. The aim is to identify, as an important part of sustainability, the existence and share of climate change and disaster related courses in the curricula, and to understand to what extent these topics are already integrated into current urban planning programs at the university level and thus shape the knowledge and skills of future urban planners. The local academic and professional environments in which the programs are based are taken into account by a review of the historical development of the programs. The analysis in mid-2020 took only those universities and programs into account that have curricula and course titles available online. The data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The second part of the research deals with the discussion of how these courses can be best integrated into the existing curricula and thus serve the adequate education of urban planners by providing some concrete ideas. Keywords: higher urban planning education; curricula development; climate change; disaster risks; Citation: Scholz, W.; Stober, T.; Sub-Saharan Africa; South East Asia Sassen, H.
