The purpose of this qualification is to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills in Afrikaans linguistics and/or literature to contribute as active role players in a globalised and industrialising society.

Since one of the University’s functions is to expand the frontiers of knowledge about various social phenomena, research and development with regard to culture as manifested by the Afrikaans language and literature are effectively represented in this qualification.
