Cultural Policy and Management University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg

Overview

Key facts

This includes taking full control of the research plan, meeting all Faculty of Humanities timelines and requirements, meeting all Ethics training and application timelines and requirements, setting up appointments with your supervisors, reading widely to ensure that the literature pertinent to the chosen research topic has been identified and fully consulted.

Your full focus, attention, effort and commitment is required.
