Details

The Higher Certificate in Heritage Studies at Sol Plaatje University provides students with a grounding in the theory and practice of heritage — exploring how communities preserve, present, and interrogate their cultural, natural, and historical legacy. Located in Kimberley, a city of deep historical significance including the Diamond Fields and the Sol Plaatje legacy itself, the programme develops graduates who can contribute meaningfully to South Africa's growing heritage and cultural tourism sector. It also serves as a pathway for students to articulate into undergraduate degree programmes.
