    UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES: Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts AFA11

    The Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts degree is offered by the Wits School of Arts. All applicants are required to book
    and complete an online questionnaire. After processing the online questionnaire, we may request a further
    interview.

    Questionnaires will be first issued in May 2024. We will continue to issue to new applicants every two weeks until
    November. The final deadline for the questionnaire is 15 November 2024.

    If you have not received a questionnaire 3 weeks after your application, please contact Liezel Borman
    (Liezel.Borman@wits.ac.za) to request that it is resent to you.

    Questionnaire Format and Conduct

    The questionnaire will ask a series of questions. Some of these are about you as an applicant and some of them
    pertain to the kinds of work we do at Wits Digital Arts.

    You will be assessed based on your ability to:


     Problem-solve
     Engage critically

    You must submit the following with your questionnaire:

    1. A 1 page CV detailing your personal information


     Include your full name, address, telephone and email contact information, the name of the last
    school you attended, and year of matriculation (or planned year of matriculation).

    2. A transcript of your most recent marks.


     Certified copy of your final grade 11 results, Matric certificate or academic transcript.

    3. A critical essay (1-2 pages)


    Essay Question:
    In a short essay (1-2 pages) discuss a game, animation or interactive media (digital or analogue) that you have
    recently engaged with. Your essay should not be a description. It should critically engage with how the artwork
    works, the themes and the effect that this has on the user/player/audience. You should be able to describe
    what you liked or did not like. You should identify one to two aspects of the artwork that you found most or
    least effective and discuss why that is.

    4. A portfolio of work – This portfolio can be on any creative work that you have completed. You are free to
    submit drawings, animations, games, photography, creative writing or any work that you have done. This is a
    moment for you to show off your abilities and talents. Feel free to submit whatever you feel highlights you
    best.

    Applicants who fail to submit the documentation requested above will not be processed.

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    Whilst the department offers professional courses as part of the BA Digital Arts (Game Design) degree, the
    University is foremost an academic institution. Applicants will be thoroughly assessed on their discursive and
    academic abilities.

    Minimum Admission Requirements (Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee
    admission for any applicant).

    National Senior Certificate (NSC):


    Each candidate requires an APS of at least 34 points and a minimum of 60% for English Home Language OR
    English First Additional Language, as well as a successful questionnaire and portfolio in order to be considered
    for acceptance into the degree (Mathematics and Physical Science passed with at least 60% is preferred but not
    compulsory). The Student Enrolment Centre communicates a FIRM offer only, and not the Wits School of Arts
    (WSoA).

    Applicants with 30-33 APS points and at least 60% for English Home Language OR English First Additional
    Language, as well as a successful questionnaire will be wait-listed, subject to place availability in January.

    While Mathematics is not a requisite subject, it will be considered as part of your application. The Digital Arts
    degree involves coding for all students and as such Mathematics can be an important part of the applicant’s
    application.

    International Qualifications:
    Relevant exemption from the SA Matriculation Board
    English Language O/IGCSE Level A-C | AS Level A-C | A Level A-C
