The Department of English and Communication teaches in all faculties and approximately 44 programmes across all the delivery sites of the Durban University of Technology in Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
Mission
The mission of the English and Communication Department of the Durban University of Technology is to strive to improve our learners’ communication knowledge, skills and attitudes.Through our teaching, research and community service, we seek to develop and enhance the ability of students and members of the wider community more effectively to express their interests, understand others, and contribute to the aesthetic, social, and cultural environments in which they live and work.
As a Service Department, the Department of English and Communication does not register students for a specific academic programme. The Department of English and Communication engages in regular curricular review to ensure that the subject outcomes align with those of serviced programmes, and of the critical cross-field outcomes, in particular:
-
Communicate effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentation.
-
Identify and solve problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made.
-
Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organization, community.
-
Collect, analyse, organize and critically evaluate information.
