Student review [#75158] for Criminology and Psychology
at University of South Africa - UNISA

Among many administration issues, which can usually be solved instantaneously by visiting one of the branches, there is very little collaborative opportunities set up by the University.
For those who thrive on discussion and just hearing the material be deconstructed, UNISA is not the place for you. The “lecturers,” understandly having hundreds of students will take weeks to release assignment marks, no communication between lecturers to students and you may even find yourself writing your exam before receiving your project with it’s feedback.
Feel like you’ve been marked down unfairly or some outside force has made your lecture unable to open your file? Too bad, you’ll only find out AFTER the absolute last possible day they say they are able to take any submissions. Absolutely no compromise for situations outside your hands.
Absolutely god awful admin just ruining any communication apart from going onsite.

Their material covers a wide range of topics and schools of thought (Criminology). Getting a degree there, even as part time studies will set you up with extensive and transferrable working knowledge and skills in the work force. If you can endure their loose use of the term “learning institute.” You must apply yourself. Nobody will do it for you or show you where your mistakes were, it’s a rough environment but it bears results for those willing to do the work. You’d be better off going to a library and watching seminars and webinars but completion in those don’t produce degrees unfortunately.
