Established in 1997, SACAP specialises in Applied Psychology, which means the skills and insights you gain can be used in your place of work or provide an excellent entry point into further academic studies in the social sciences and related fields.
We also apply the same principles we’ve become known for to our Online campus: limited class sizes, accredited courses, experienced educators and ongoing support.
Studying with us online is a lot like studying on campus, only it’s got built-in social distancing and you get to decide how to manage your weekly workload while meeting the requirements of the academic module.
Study a Higher Certificate, Diploma or Bachelor of Applied Social Science degree with SACAP this September. Registration is now open.
What is expected of me?
Even though you will be studying remotely, you will never feel lost or isolated. Our Online campus is structured to keep you engaged with the work, your educators and your classmates. You need to take part in structured weekly activities (like forum discussions, short exercises, and/or reflection journals, for example), as well as login to live webinars (where applicable). All of which keep you inspired and form part of a participation/engagement grade for each module.
