Studying South African Literature is a journey through a landscape defined by struggle, resilience, and the complicated process of “becoming.” From the haunting protests of Alex La Guma to the intricate post-Apartheid reflections of J.M. Coetzee or Zoë Wicomb, this unit is far more than just a reading list—it’s a study of how words can […]

If you’ve ever sat through a lecture on Francis Imbuga’s Betrayal in the City or Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s The Trial of Dedan Kimathi, you know that East African drama is anything but “just a play.” It is a loud, rhythmic, and often politically dangerous exploration of who we are.

Let’s be real: studying Literature and Gender isn’t like memorizing dates in a history class. It’s about unlearning the way you’ve been taught to see the world. When you step into that exam hall, the examiner isn’t just looking for a plot summary of The Color Purple or A Doll’s House; they want to see

Let’s be honest: sitting down to study Theory of Literature and Stylistics often feels like trying to untangle a ball of yarn in a dark room. One minute you’re navigating the formalist structures of a poem, and the next, you’re drowning in post-structuralist critiques that seem to defy logic. Below is the exam paper download

Let’s be honest: in most subjects, you study to find the “right” answer. In Literature, you study to find the most “convincing” argument. Whether you are analyzing a Shakespearean sonnet or a post-colonial novel from the heart of Africa, the goal isn’t just to tell the story—it’s to tear it apart and see how it

Let’s be honest—for most Kiswahili and Linguistics students, the unit “Mbinu za Utafiti” (Research Methods) feels like a foreign language within a language. One moment you’re discussing the beauty of Swahili poetry, and the next, you’re drowning in terms like sampuli (sampling), data za kimaelezo (qualitative data), and nadharia (theories).

Let’s be real: studying the structure of Kiswahili isn’t just about speaking the language fluently. You can be a native speaker and still get tripped up by the mathematical precision of Mofolojia (Morphology) and the architectural scaffolding of Sintaksia (Syntax).

Let’s be honest: you can read Understanding Second Language Acquisition by Rod Ellis until your eyes blur, but knowing the theory and passing the exam are two very different beasts. SLA is a field packed with dense terminology—Interlanguage, Affective Filters, Universal Grammar—and it’s easy to get lost in the academic weeds. Below is the exam

Hebu tusemezane ukweli: Kusoma riwaya au shairi ni jambo moja, lakini kuelewa kwa nini mwandishi alichagua neno fulani badala ya jingine ni kiwango kingine kabisa cha usomi. Mtindo na Mbinu za Kilugha (Stylistics and Literary Devices) ni darubini inayotusaidia kuona ufundi ulioshonwa ndani ya maandishi. Below is the exam paper download link Past Paper On

Let’s be honest: we use language every second of the day, but we rarely stop to think about the invisible machinery running under the hood. Introduction to the Study of Language (or Intro to Linguistics) is the unit that takes that machinery apart. It’s the study of how a few dozen sounds can be arranged

Hebu tuwe wakweli: Unaweza kuwa unajua Kiswahili tangu utotoni, lakini linapokuja suala la Stadi za Mawasiliano (Communication Skills) katika kiwango cha kitaaluma, mambo hubadilika. Hapa hatuzungumzi tu kuhusu “kuongea,” tunazungumzia uwezo wa kusimba (encode) na kufasiri (decode) ujumbe kwa njia ambayo haitaleta mkanganyiko.

Let’s be honest: studying History of Political Thought can feel like trying to referee a 2,000-year-old argument. On one side, you have Plato dreaming of “Philosopher Kings”; on the other, you have Machiavelli telling you it’s better to be feared than loved. It is a unit that demands you stop looking for “right answers” and

Let’s be honest: Africa doesn’t end at its coastline. There is a “Global Africa” scattered across the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, and Asia—a result of both forced tragedy and voluntary migration. Studies in the African Diaspora and Pan-Africanism is the academic bridge that connects the continent to its children abroad. Below is the exam paper
