Programinligting

Hierdie inligting is slegs in Engels beskikbaar.

The curriculum is compiled in consultation with the Director of the Centre for Wildlife Management from the relevant modules. The programme includes lectures/discussions, seminars, a research project (paper), excursions and informal seminars/lectures. A final mark of at least 50% is required in each of the modules listed for this honours degree.

Renewal of registration

  1. Subject to exceptions approved by the Dean, on the recommendation of the head of department, and in the case of distance education where the Dean formulates the stipulations that will apply, a student may not sit for an examination for the honours degree more than twice in the same module.
  2. A student for an honours degree must complete his or her study, in the case of full-time students, within two years and, in the case of after-hours students, within three years of first registering for the degree and, in the case of distance education students, within the period stipulated by the Dean. Under special circumstances, the Dean, on the recommendation of the head of department, may give approval for a limited extension of this period.

In calculating marks, General Regulation G.12.2 applies.

Apart from the prescribed coursework, a research project is an integral part of the study.

Toelatingsvereistes

Alle aansoeke om toelating moet teen 30 Oktober van die voorafgaande jaar aanlyn ingedien wees.
 
Om vir toelating tot die BScHons in Wildlewe Bestuur te kwalifiseer, moet voornemende studente 'n BSc-graad met Veekunde, Ekologie, Dierkunde, Plantkunde, of 'n soortgelyke relevante biologiese hoofvak voltooi het; of 'n BScAgric Veekundige Wetenskappe en / of Plantproduksie; 'n BSc Bosbou, 'n BVSc-graad, of 'n soortgelyke graad. 'n Suid-Afrikaanse ekwivalente gemiddelde punt van 60% word gewoonlik vereis vir al die modules wat in die finale jaar van voorgraadse studie. Bepaling, houding en standaard van voorgraadse projekte, waar beskikbaar, sal ook in ag geneem word nie. Studente word op meriete gekeur.

Slaag met lof

    The most important techniques applicable to wildlife management and wildlife research are discussed. The principles, applications and restrictions of the following are discussed amongst others: wildlife counts, age determination, age and sex ratios, translocation of animals, chemical immobilisation, mechanical capture techniques, transport of wildlife, land-use, predator control and predator-prey studies.

    Ensuring essential prior knowledge of the fundamentals of nutrition through peer-assisted learning strategies. The digestive functioning of selected wild ruminant and non-ruminant herbivores is discussed as well as their nutrient requirements and deficiencies that commonly occur. The spatial scaling of nutrients in vegetation is explained, followed by which foraging strategies large African herbivores of varying body sizes use to adapt to spatial and temporal nutrient heterogeneity, including optimal foraging theory.
