Business TBA (5) | Doing Business in South Africa

and managers to understand the challenges that will confront their businesses, but
also allow them to identify the opportunities that this rapidly growing region offers.
The course will give students an acute knowledge of the development challenges
facing Southern African countries and understand the growth of emerging Southern
African markets and identify future growth potential. Students will have the ability to
discuss and debate current and future policy issues in a development country context.
Furthermore, they will gain awareness of the additional social, environmental and
ethical considerations for African businesses.
Photography TBA (3) | Travel Photography
The aim of the course is to teach students about photography with a focus on travel
photography theory. Students will gain knowledge of their own cameras, improve their
photography skills and gain practical experience in the areas of landscape and portrait
photography as well as wildlife photography when traveling along the Garden Route.
At the end of each day students will print the best two or three of their photographs
receiving feedback from a professional photographer and the course will end with an
exhibition of their work.
Viticulture and Oenology TBA (3) | South African Wine and Winemaking
The aim of this course is to immerse students in the South African wine culture, giving
them an overview of the wine industry and the challenges of the industry being in
South Africa. A series of lectures by academic staff will cover applied viticulture and
oenological aspects. There will be a series of technical tastings by highly respected
world class winemakers which will give students an excellent understanding of the
diversity of wines and wine styles made in South Africa. The main goal is to equip
students with knowledge on the status of the industry and the excellent wines South
Africa has so that they can return home as ambassadors for the SA grape and wine
industry and excite people in their own country.
