    EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES 
    1. Conceptualise, evaluate and understand theory and models in the Mathematical Sciences at an Honours level.
    2. Identify, access, formulate and solve problems stemming from Mathematical situations in society, by being able to meaningfully observe and identify such situations, to convert these observations into mathematical language and to reach logical conclusions on an Honours level. 

    ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 
    Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcomes:
    The following Associated Assessment Criteria are assessed in an integrated manner across all the Exit Level Outcomes:
  • Understanding of basic theory on an Honours level.

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS QUALIFICATION: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
