Our master’s and doctoral students, along with our academic community are the lifeblood of this university. Our

focused approach, with several research initiatives in place, ensures that we consistently produce world-class research, inmany instances with strong local and African relevance. In addition our number of NRF-rated researchers is increasingexponentially year on year and we have shown a steady increase in research outputs over the last seven years.

In the section that follows we introduce you to our colleges and their elds of expertise, the UnisaGraduate School of Business Leadership and the Unisa School of Graduate Studies, as well as abrief overview of the Unisa Library facilities and their benets for master’s and doctoral students.

Unisa Graduate School of Business Leadership

The Unisa Graduate School of Business Leadership (SBL) is an autonomous academic department within the College of

Economic and Management Sciences at Unisa.In 1965, following the advice and active support of senior South African business leaders, Unisa decided to introducea Master’s of Business Leadership (MBL). The success of this programme, coupled with the unique characteristicsassociated with a multidisciplinary degree led, in 1969, to the establishment of the SBL as an autonomous body withinthe university. As its name and that of its agship programme (the MBL) indicate, the emphasis from the start has beenon leadership development as opposed to administration.

Regarded as one of the top three business schools in South Africa, the SBL has produced more than a third of all theMBL/MBA degrees awarded by South African universities since its inception.

Driven by a philosophy of innovation, social responsibility, ethical engagement and global connectedness, the successof the SBL’s approach is demonstrated daily by achievements of the people and organisations who have participated intheir programmes.

Make the right choiceHow ready am I for my master’s and doctoral postgraduate studies at Unisa?

You are a successful student. You have completed the necessary undergraduate or honours degree to qualify forpostgraduate study. Can you remember what it was like and what you wish you had known before you started?The aim of this section is to stimulate your thinking about, and planning for, further studies.

How does your postgraduate choice inuence your career development?

It is an opportunity to re-examine your career vision and consider what needs changing. We suggest that you lookat this from three points of view: personal development needs, knowledge of the eld and career prospects. Whilethese three points are interlinked, they may have different emphases according to your circumstances. If these threepoints are in balance, you increase your chances of completing your studies successfully and reconnecting morepurposefully with your career path.

Integrating personal and career needs

At this point, your postgraduate studies may be motivated by a balance between experience and academicsophistication. From a professional and personal point of view, you may see it as a sense of completion or as a wayof enhancing your career. Or it might provide “entertainment value”, that is, a useful way of occupying your time or

your contribution to humanity. The degree is not about career mobility as such, but rather about life enhancement. Are your expectations of postgraduate studies in balance with your current career needs, as well as the changes you anticipate for the future? How much information have you gathered in order to assess the possible value ofthe “future” of your studies? Were you able to do some job shadowing? If not, we recommend that you conduct atleast an informational interview to rene your career ideas.

Demands of postgraduate study

Would you enjoy training in research where, on the one hand, you have to be skilful with thepractical elements (research, analysis, writing and presentation) and, on the other hand, bemasterful in the theory and methodology of a knowledge domain? Postgraduate study demands time, energy and commitment. How well are you able to toleratefrustration when faced with negative feedback, for example? This section on motivation and goals indicates how deeply you have thought about the possibleimpact of your postgraduate studies on your life. The more clearly dened your goals are, thebetter your chances of completing your studies. Internal sense of control refers to how well youfocus your will, your heart and your mind on the task at hand. You take responsibility for youractions, and you manage your stress and your relationships.



20

Deepening of academic skills

Postgraduate study requires a deepening of your academic skills in order to make a contribution to knowledge creation.Knowledge creation is the apex of postgraduate achievement. The workload at postgraduate level demands that you

do more work on your own (reading, making notes and reecting) when compared to undergraduate level. You set thetimeline for the study goals you wish to achieve. The sections on time management, study responsibility and academicpreparedness provide guidelines, but how well you progress with your postgraduate studies depends on your ability toassimilate information generated by these questions.

Journey of discovery

The biggest challenge that confronts you at this point is to extend your thinking and capacity to nd and integrateinformation. In order to nd an appropriate topic, your ability to use advanced search functions on the computer andextensive use of the library is very important. How quickly can you become more skilful? Finally, postgraduate studieshave equal amounts of sorrow and joy. Nobody can teach you how to nd the balance; it is a journey of discovery.

Factors that contribute to success According to Dominguez (2006: 22-23) there are internal factors that you should consider developing before you start and, external factors that the institution should have in place:

Difference between research and coursework master’s degree

The majority of master’s qualications are full research degrees with a full dissertation. In some instances acoursework option exists with a combination of modules and a smaller research component (eg dissertationof limited scope or short dissertation) for your master’s degree. These coursework options are indicated in thequalication tables. Please note that if you select the coursework master’s option you will be required to registerfor, and ofcially pass, two modules before you will be eligible to register for the Research Proposal Module, unlessotherwise stated.

Time required for processing an application

The time required to process a complete application can vary and for that reason we suggest that you apply as soonas applications open on 1 August 2011. Factors to be aware of:

• Qualications with a selection process usually have an earlier application date. Please go to page 26 of thisbrochure for the application dates and contact people.

• Certain international degrees will need to be accompanied by a SAQA evaluation certicate. It is thestudent’s responsibility to contact and manage this process through SAQA. Please note that this can be timeconsuming and could delay your application by as much as one year. Once SAQA verication has been receivedplease resubmit your application to Unisa with the necessary SAQA evaluation certicate. In some instancesthese applications will be referred to the relevant academic department for review.

2.1 Applications from international students follow a similar route to that of local studentsbut care must be taken with the English language requirements. International students shouldshow that they have taken the TOEFL (http://www.ets.org) or IELTS (http://www.ielts.org)international language test or equivalent. 1 If further language assistance is deemednecessary students may be required to register for a language module.1 All non-native English-speaking applicants (other than those who have been educated in the medium of Englishlanguage during their two most recent years of study) must satisfy one of the following requirements:

IELTS: overall score of 6.5 (with at least 6.5 in each of the four components); TOEFL (paper-based): overall scoreof 600, with a Test of Written English score of 5.5; TOEFL (computer-based): overall score of 250, with Test ofWritten English score of 5.5; TOEFL (internet-based): overall score of 100; Cambridge Certicate of AdvancedEnglish (CAE): grade A; Cambridge Certicate for Prociency in English (CPE): grade B; English Language GCSE,IGCSE or O-level: grade B; International Baccalaureate Standard Level (SL): score of 5 in English; EuropeanBaccalaureate: score of 70% in English.

The role of the supervisor

Your supervisor is integral to your studies and will assist you in planning your academic year, ensuring that you areaware of all critical milestones and detailing both your and their responsibilities during the course of your studies.

Both you and your supervisor will sign a Code of Conduct that governs the conditions of your relationship.The support and guidance of your supervisor will be invaluable during the course of your studies.

The Research Proposal Module

This is the foundation for your master’s or doctoral studies. It is incredibly important to have already consideredthe direction that you wish your research to take. We suggest that before you apply you should have conceptualiseda viable topic; one that can be researched further and that has a body of existing literature and research (between15 and 20 sources) to support it. Your supervisor will then guide you through the process for completing andsubmitting your research proposal.

Please be aware that there are strict closing dates for submission and acceptance of this module in the academic

year, as well as ethical clearances that must be obtained prior to proceeding with the research.

MBA, MBL and DBL qualications

Applications for these qualications must be made directly with the Unisa Graduate School of Business Leadership.

The research proposal What is a research proposal?

A research proposal is a document that outlines your research question and research objectives, the methodology you will use and how you will conduct the research in order to answer your research question. The researchproposal is a planning document and captures the thinking and logic of your approach to the study.

Before you begin to write the research proposal there are a number of key steps you need to take in preparation.

Transform your idea into a research question and conduct a preliminary literature review to

learn what other researchers have been studying, as it pertains to your research question.

Provide a clear indication on what you intend to do and how you will do the research.Clarify why the research is necessary and provide specic motivation for your interestin this area of study.

Dene the scope and limitations of your research

Giving due consideration to these before meeting with your supervisor is essential to making the progressnecessary for obtaining the ultimate approvals for your research. Even though still in draft form, this exercise willgive you a good indication of the viability of your proposed subject.

Consider:

• a draft title

• a problem statement or question

• the research objective (which answers the statement or question)

• denitions and descriptions of the terminology and key concepts proposed

• a scope denition

• limitations of the proposed study

• background to the study

• an overview of proposed literature sources

• a description of the research plan and time frame

• an explanation of the research methodology

Five golden rules for success

• Consider deeply your personal motivations for embarking on postgraduate studies and ensure that they arestrong enough to keep you rmly on your path

• Your supervisor is a wealth of information – use them wisely

• When in doubt, ask – avoid assumption at all cost

• Maintain momentum

• Remain sharply focused, but receptive to an evolution of your original concept
