A COURSE UNIT is the building block of a diploma or degree. It is the distance learning equivalent of a class. Most units are worth 3 credits - some longer ones are worth more.

The COURSE UNIT LISTINGS are arranged in categories. However for most programmes of study you can take units from more than one category.

More course units are being made available all the time, and new ones (subject to approval) can be created specially for students' needs. they will then be available to other students.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT COURSE UNITS

NOTES to COURSE UNIT LIST for Distance Learning Students

******  2007-8 edition   ******


IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE NOTES BELOW CAREFULLY (text based on the printed course unit booklet)

1.       We reserve the right to add, withdraw and amend units or alter their credit value at any time.

2.       Some courses are relevant to more than one field of study, so please look under other relevant headings as well as your main field of study.

3.       Most students will be able to take some units from other fields as well as their main field.

4.       Availability of textbooks may affect the possibility of studying a particular unit. Where the set text goes out of print the student may try to obtain a library copy or a used copy from one of the many on-line second-hand bookstores. We do not sell books or provide a postal lending library.

5.       This course unit list may include some units based upon FREE downloadable e-books. These units are noted with an (e) after the unit number. Students must have internet access and download the books from external sites (not from the Calamus site). Calamus is not responsible for the maintenance of those sites nor for availability of text materials. We welcome suggestions for other suitable free e-books in all fields.

6.       New units are constantly being added and we often provide extra units on specific request: these are then available for future students.

7.       For those who have difficulty in reading the small font in this booklet, we can supply the printed list in larger font sizes (please specify the size you can read comfortably) or as a Word document so you can adjust the font size on your own computer. Also adjust the display size on your screen. Most word processing programs will allow you to do this.

8.       Some degree courses may have a special syllabus which is not on this list and which is available on request.

9.       Some degree courses contain units only available to students on that particular degree (examples: music, South African history.)

10.   For LOCAL courses at certain overseas centres (e.g. in Malaysia, Dubai) units in this list are not used. Instead, local units are available which cater for local needs and use locally available textbooks or other course materials.

11.   SELECTED UNITS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OCCASIONAL STUDY. (no longer applicable)

12.   Some topics are marked provisional. That means the degree course is not currently running but we hope to re-launch it at a later date.

13.   We now have a section for newly added units in all fields – click here to see what units (if any) have been introduced since the publication of the last Course Unit List.

14.   This 2007-8 edition corrects some of the course unit numbers in previous editions.

15.   The course unit descriptions are being made available on-line - see the following link: course unit index

16.   IMPORTANT: ALWAYS GIVE THE FULL UNIT NUMBER (usually 6 letters/ digits) AND THE TITLE IF YOU HAVE A QUERY ABOUT A PARTICULAR UNIT.

NUMBERING OF UNITS

The unique flexibility of the Calamus system, whereby most students at any level can have the widest possible choice of course units, means that the digits in the unit code do not necessarily correlate with the level of degree study. Often Bachelor’s students can take some “advanced” topics and Doctoral students can take some “introductory” topics depending on the aims of their study programme and the individual student’s knowledge and needs.
