The aim of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge, insight and skills required to progress to 3rd year of the BHSc Medical laboratory Science course. In addition, it aims to introduce normal white cell development and the application of this knowledge to the pathogenesis and laboratory diagnosis of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders as well as myeloid leukaemias. Moreover, the identification of relevant morphological abnormalities; correlation and discussion of laboratory tests associated with each disorder.

Heat Treatment of Metals 414 (HTM810S) is a core course. It will equip students with competencies to design appropriate heat treatment conditions for steels and alloys and justify the link between thermal processing, phase transformation, and properties of the material

Human Resource Management comprises a range of functions and functional activities that are carried out in order to, among other things, provide, utilise, remunerate, train, develop and maintain a motivated work force.  It can, therefore, be described as a process embracing the dimensions of inception (getting individuals into the public sector); development (preparing employees to work effectively and efficiently); motivation (stimulating employees by caring for their needs) and maintenance (keeping employees in the public sector by providing suitable working conditions).

As you would imagine, the focus will mainly be on the African Public Service.  You should thus strive to develop a genuine interest in the activities carried out by public sector institutions. This would provide you with an opportunity to evaluate human resource issues on a regular basis in this sector. You are, therefore, urged to apply practical examples in your approach to this subject.

This course aims to enable students to demonstrate a deepened understanding of the application of organic chemistry in the industry. Organic compounds of industrial and commercial importance will be discussed, including their production and environmental impact, use, and the scaling of organic reactions.

Upon completing this course students will, through assessment activities, show evidence of their ability to:

1.    Elucidate the mechanisms of major industrial organic reactions;

2.    Formulate reaction conditions for the industrial synthesis and transformation of organic compounds, intermediates and fine chemicals;

3.    Evaluate the chemistry, use, environmental and economic impact of the basic building block chemicals derived from natural gas, petroleum and non-petroleum sources

4.    Evaluate the chemistry, use, environmental and economic impact of polymers derived from ethylene, propylene, butadiene, isobutene

5.    Describe the use of catalysts in industrial organic chemistry

6.    Discuss concepts of green chemistry and sustainability in the chemical industry

7.    Retrieve relevant information in scientific literature and demonstrate effective report writing, experimental design and data analysis.

The course aims at equipping the students with in-depth knowledge about the instrument for operation, characterisation and analysis and their applications in everyday life. This course further help the student in current -day technology, industry, and research

By the end of this course of study, you should be able to.

1. Evaluate the importance of different instrument and their use;
2. Demonstrate the practical application of the instrument and problems related to the instrument;
3. Apply the theoretical principles to solve the operational problem of the instrument;
4. Discuss comprehensively use of the instrument for everyday life and scientific purposes;
5. Analyse the principle of different instrument, its operation and evaluate the working output;

Develop and maintain useful engineering skills while still retaining an active grasp of the relevant physics

The aim of the course is to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to work in a hospitality establishment's food preparation areas. Students should be able to develop advanced practical and reflective competence  for the department of Food and beverage and Food production

Introduction to Criminal Justice Studies is a foundational course in your studies of Criminal Justice and should assist you as a first-year student to conceptualise and contextualise the various components of the Criminal Justice System. The literature used in the course is mostly imported, while the course will be delivered with an emphasis on the Namibian Criminal Justice system. It provides an examination of the Namibian system of Criminal Justice, its agencies, and the processes that constitute it. The course content therefore focuses on the various functions of its sub-systems, i.e., Police, Prosecution, Judiciary, and Corrections, against the backdrop of the various approaches to explaining "crime.”

In the discipline of human resource management, training and development is the field concerned with organisational activity aimed at improving the performance of individuals and groups in organisational settings. Education, training and development have been referred to as employee development, human resource development, and learning and development. Employee education, training and development at the right time, ensures big payoffs for the employer in the form of increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and employee contributions.

People are the most important treasure in any organisation. How we lead, motivate, train and develop  employees is of out most importance. To remain competitive, organisations need to have well motivated and highly performing employees. This can be achieved by training and developing employees.

This course expose you to how to manage training in organisations, the factors that affect training environments and how to determine training needs.

Enjoy the course. Remember: What we learn with joy, we never forget.
