Magister Artium - MA / The transition from high school to university for many students all over the world has never been
very easy and this is also true in the South African context. At the University of the Western Cape
the majority of students, particularly part-time students, come from previously disadvantaged
institutions of learning. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that most tertiary institutions in
South Africa, including The University of the Western Cape, use English as the official language of
instruction even though more than three quarters of students entering into institutions of higher
learning in South Africa are second or even third language English speakers who do not have the
language competence level required in the medium of instruction to successfully negotiate
academic curricula.
