The Diploma in Somatology (Extended Curriculum) is a four-year route through the Diploma in Somatology at Ritson Campus, Durban. Students complete the first year of the standard diploma over two years with additional academic support, then move automatically into the second year of the diploma.
Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences | Department: Department of Somatology | Duration: 4 years full-time | Study mode: full-time | Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
The first-year Somatology curriculum (Aesthetic Practices, Anatomy and Physiology for Somatology, Somatic Therapy I: Face and Body, Microbial Hygiene, Nutrition I, Science I: Chemistry and others) is spread over two years, with fees split by the subjects taken. Years three and four correspond to the second and third years of the standard diploma, including experiential learning and community service.
Owning, running or working in a spa, salon, clinic or health hydro; shipping liners, game lodges and wellness centres; marketing and training roles with cosmetic companies, equipment houses and retail outlets.
Somatology diploma requirements (the extended programme is for applicants who do not meet all the requirements for success on the standard route): NSC English at rating 3; Life Sciences at 4; Mathematics at 3 or Mathematics Literacy at 5; two further 20-credit subjects at 3. A medical report confirming a clean bill of health and an entrance test are required. Twenty places are available and selection is based on the entrance test, with the best chance for applicants with the strongest school results in the recommended subjects, aptitude and personality. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee a place; selection is by ranking and availability of places.
Tuition is charged per module, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
Duration: 4 years
