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.

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 Introduction to Geospatial Data emphasis is placed on learning the basics of different data models, various co-ordinate systems as well as the basics of aerial photography and GPS (Global Positioning System).  The enrollment key is IGD411S
