The third cohort of the Higher Education Master's in Africa (HEMA) programme starts at the University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, this week. Four new students:
- Agnes Lutomiah from Kenya
- Lineo Kolosoa from Lesotho
- Randall Lange from South Africa, and
- Ntimi Mtawa from Tanzania
are bound to arrive this weekend in Cape Town to start their seminar programme in "Higher Education and Development in Africa" and "Research Design and Methods for Higher Education Studies" at UWC.
The four Master's candidates commenced their programme in August 2011 at the University of Oslo, Norway, when they joined students from the Norwegian Master's programme and from Eduardo Mondlane University in the "Introduction to Higher Education Studies" offered by Prof Peter Maassen's team at UiO.
The HEMA programme at UWC is jointly led by a team of professors, senior lecturers and researchers, including:
- Prof Nico Cloete, Extraordinary Professor of Higher Education Studies & Director of CHET
- Dr Gerald Wangenge-Ouma, Senior Lecturer in Higher Education, UWC
- Dr Thierry Luescher-Mamashela, Extraordinary Senior Lecturer in Political Studies, UWC
and researchers and staff attached to the Education Faculty and the Centre for the Study of Higher Education at UWC.
The four new students join a group of twenty graduates and 'pipeline students' of the previous two cohorts.
