Prospectus 2021/2022
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. -
The Phd Journey at Addis Ababa University
Volume 16, 2021 THE PHD JOURNEY AT ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY: STUDY DELAYS, CAUSES, AND COPING MECHANISMS Getnet Tizazu Fetene* Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, [email protected] Ethiopia Wondwosen Tamrat St. Mary’s University, Addis Ababa, wondwosen- Ethiopia [email protected] * Corresponding author ABSTRACT Aim/Purpose This study was conducted to examine the rate of delay, explanatory causes, and coping strategies of PhD candidates at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia’s premier university, over the last ten years. Background Delayed graduation is a common theme in doctoral education around the world. It continues to draw the concern of governments, universities, and the candi- dates themselves, calling for different forms of intervention. Addressing these challenges is key to resolving the many obstacles into doctoral education. Methodology Ten-year archival data consisting of 1,711 PhD students and in-depth inter- views with ten PhD candidates were used as data-generation tools. The data col- lection focused on progression patterns, reasons for study delays, and the cop- ing mechanisms used by doctoral students when they face challenges. While the candidates were interviewed to narrate their lived experience pertinent to the objectives of the study, the archival data regarding the PhD students were col- lected from the Registrar Office of the University under study. Contribution Amid an ongoing global debate about best practices in doctoral education, the research on study delays contributes not only to filling the existing empirical gap in the area but also in identifying factors, for example, related to financial mat- ters, family commitment, and student-supervisor rapport, that help address the challenges faced and improving the provision of doctoral education. -
Annual Report 2008-2009
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. -
Preservice Laboratory Education Strengthening Enhances
Fonjungo et al. Human Resources for Health 2013, 11:56 http://www.human-resources-health.com/content/11/1/56 RESEARCH Open Access Preservice laboratory education strengthening enhances sustainable laboratory workforce in Ethiopia Peter N Fonjungo1,8*, Yenew Kebede1, Wendy Arneson2, Derese Tefera1, Kedir Yimer1, Samuel Kinde3, Meseret Alem4, Waqtola Cheneke5, Habtamu Mitiku6, Endale Tadesse7, Aster Tsegaye3 and Thomas Kenyon1 Abstract Background: There is a severe healthcare workforce shortage in sub Saharan Africa, which threatens achieving the Millennium Development Goals and attaining an AIDS-free generation. The strength of a healthcare system depends on the skills, competencies, values and availability of its workforce. A well-trained and competent laboratory technologist ensures accurate and reliable results for use in prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment of diseases. Methods: An assessment of existing preservice education of five medical laboratory schools, followed by remedial intervention and monitoring was conducted. The remedial interventions included 1) standardizing curriculum and implementation; 2) training faculty staff on pedagogical methods and quality management systems; 3) providing teaching materials; and 4) procuring equipment for teaching laboratories to provide practical skills to complement didactic education. Results: A total of 2,230 undergraduate students from the five universities benefitted from the standardized curriculum. University of Gondar accounted for 252 of 2,230 (11.3%) of the students, Addis Ababa University for 663 (29.7%), Jimma University for 649 (29.1%), Haramaya University for 429 (19.2%) and Hawassa University for 237 (10.6%) of the students. Together the universities graduated 388 and 312 laboratory technologists in 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 academic year, respectively. -
