The Doctor of Literature and Philosophy, or DLitt et Phil, is a doctoral advanced research degree offered by a number of leading universities in South Africa, such as UJ, the University of Johannesburg; and UNISA, the University of South Africa. The degree is equivalent to a PhD and is generally offered in arts, human science ( humanities), and social science subjects.
At universities such as the University of Johannesburg and the University of South Africa, the degree of Doctor of Literature and Philosophy is assessed by a thesis examined by a minimum of one internal and two external examiners, with the thesis falling between 60,000 and 90,000 words in length. [1] The work must make an original contribution to academic knowledge. A master's degree in a relevant subject with average marks of a minimum of 65% is required for admission. [2]
The UNISA also offers a Doctor of Literature and Philosophy in Health Studies [3] and in Environmental Science. [4]
