GOAL 5
Enhancing the quality and profile
of UCT’s graduates
This goal emphasised
the holistic education of
students, and the importance
of equipping students with
a spirit of critical enquiry, an
understanding of the role
they play in addressing social
justice issues, and the skills
required to compete in a
globalised workplace.
development of graduate
attributes, such as social
justice values.
Graduate destination surveys
conducted in 2011 and 2013
indicated that the majority of
students were satisfied with
the opportunities provided
to participate in courses or
programmes that develop a
social conscience. High levels
of satisfaction were reported
about the intellectually
stimulating environment
at UCT.
The biggest advance in this
period was the significant
increase in the number of
people using information
communication technology
(ICTs) in their teaching,
and the increase in people
developing and testing online
modes of delivery, especially
in the Faculty of Commerce.
That said, it was more
difficult to judge qualitative
aspects of this goal: There
was no indicator related to
the status of teaching within
the institution or the extent
of institution-wide initiatives
designed to promote the
Global Citizenship
programme
Mixed progress
The number of registrations
for the Global Citizenship
pilot programme increased
by 81% (from 116 registrations
in 2010 to 210 in 2013), but
only about half of those
who started, completed the
programme.
