This distance learning course is undertaken through a combination of three on-campus teaching blocks, of two weeks each, and distance assignments. Both the Postgraduate Diploma and the MPhil (Coursework) in Land and Agrarian Studies require students to complete six taught coursework modules. After successful completion of the modules, students graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma. Alternatively, students who complete the modules with an average of 65% and above and whose proposal is accepted by the PLAAS Research Committee may apply to be upgraded to an MPhil (Coursework) programme. This requires completion of a mini-thesis on an appropriate topic. The six coursework modules are: - *LAS 701: *The history of the land question in South Africa - *LAS 702: *The agrarian question in Southern Africa - *LAS 703: *Land and agrarian reform in contemporary Africa: Comparative perspectives and policy debates - *LAS 704: *The economics of agrarian systems - *LAS 706:* Development, planning and sustainable rural livelihoods - *LAS 708: *Legal and socio-legal dimensions of land and agrarian reform Applications are invited from holders of an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. Sociology, History, Economics, Political Science, Agriculture, Geographical and Environmental Studies). Non-graduates with substantial experience in land or agrarian reform may apply to be considered on the basis of recognition of prior (RPL) learning.
