In South Africa, Rhodes University offers the primary accomplishment for Journalism students. While other Universities and Colleges offer diplomas, or B.A. degrees with Media Studies as a Major, Rhodes University combines practical knowledge with theoretical frameworks to compound a highly respected degree. Coupled with an intense selection process, only just over 120 students are permitted to 2nd Year, with even less permitted to the 4th Year Specialisation Course. Without this 4th Year Course, graduates depart with a 3 Year B.A. Degree, with Journalism and Media Studies as one of their majors. http://www.ru.ac.za/jms/degreesanddiplomas/bjournSchools of journalism
