Master of Science in Nature Conservation is a Postgraduate Diploma in Nature Conservation at UNISA, a cognate Bachelor of Technology (as offered prior to the implementation of the current HEQF), or an equivalent BSc Honours Degree. A student who is admitted on the strength of an equivalent qualification and who has not completed a module in research methodology may be required to complete such a module at NQF level 8 for non-degree purposes (NDP) before he/she is allowed to register for the dissertation.

Digital Art History is an innovative programme that explores how digital tools and methods can be applied to art historical research. Students will critically examine the possibilities and limitations of digital methodologies while simultaneously developing practical skills in data visualisation, spatial mapping, 3D modelling, and network analysis.

The course combines the historical study of cities and conservation practice with an understanding of architecture, material culture and the principles of establishing heritage value to provide a multi-disciplinary grounding in an area of growing significance for planning, tourism and urban policy.
