Welcome to Pathophysiology (PPH611S)!
In this 16-week course, you will explore how normal physiological processes become disrupted in illness and injury, with a strong focus on understanding why patients deteriorate rather than simply recognizing disease labels. The course builds progressively from cellular and tissue-level injury to inflammation, compensation, shock, metabolic failure, and genetic risk factors, providing a solid foundation for clinical reasoning in emergency care.

Through continuous assessment tasks and weekly learning activities, you will engage with both theoretical concepts and applied clinical scenarios to strengthen your ability to analyze, interpret, and evaluate physiological disturbances. Emphasis is placed on linking underlying pathophysiology to patient presentation, vital sign changes, and patterns of clinical decline commonly encountered in prehospital and emergency settings.

This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and analytical skills needed to interpret complex physiological processes, recognize early signs of deterioration, and apply pathophysiological principles to real-world clinical decision-making. By the end of the course, you should be able to integrate cellular, systemic, metabolic, and compensatory mechanisms to better understand acute illness, injury, and patient outcomes in emergency medical care.

The aim of this course is to teach students the principles of Digital Photogrammetry, enabling them to use a Digital Photogrammetrical Workstation (DPW) to perform basic aerial and close range photogrammetry for the creation of Digital Terrain Models, orthophotos and maps.

The aim of the course is to support students in the field of Natural Resources Management to acquire the relevant knowledge of plant taxonomy, plant ecology and forestry to enable them not only, to identify the different important trees, shrubs and grasses but to analyse, evaluate veld conditions and make recommendations to utilize and conserve our natural resources on a sustainable basis.

The course is designed to provide and equip students with a wide range of knowledge on the concepts and norms of democratic policing in Namibia, the SADC and the world. The course equips students with knowledge and understanding of normative prescriptions for what the police can do to promote equitable policing in society to support democratic development. Also, the course intends to instil in students an understanding that democracy requires not only that the police, as part of the executive arm of the state, be constrained by law but also that they may make a special effort to safeguard activities that are essential to the exercise of democratic policing in a multicultural society.
