Renewal of registration
In calculating marks, General Regulation G.12.2 applies.
Apart from the prescribed coursework, a research project is an integral part of the study.
'n BSc-graad in Geologie of Omgewings- en Ingenieursgeologie met 'n gemiddeld van 60% vir al die modules, Toegepaste Geologie op tweedejaars- en derdejaarsvlak. Hierdie modules moet grondmeganika, rots meganika, ingenieursgeologie en hidrogeologie insluit. In die keuringsprosedure sal die kandidaat _se volledige voorgraadse akademiese rekord oorweeg word. Die beskikbare posisies is beperk tot 15 en kandidate wat deur middel van hul voorgraadse graad vinniger gevorder het, sal voorkeur kry. Buite aansoekers en diegene met 'n ongewone graad strukture kan na insae van hul akademiese rekords en deur die diskresie van die departementshoof toegelaat word.
The BScHons degree is awarded with distinction to a candidate who obtains a weighted average of at least 75% in all the prescribed modules and a minimum of 65% in any one module.
