Overview

About the Program

We offer a bachelor degree in Afrikaans and Netherlandic Studies at the Rhodes University. This course is intended for students who have no prior knowledge of isiXhosa. Students who have matriculated with isiXhosa as an additional language can, at the discretion of the Head of the Section, enrol at second year level.

Its primary aim is to provide students with proficiency in isiXhosa, as well as culture and literature of the language. Proficiency is developed around themes that students should be able to use in everyday conversation.
