dc.description.abstract	Student throughput rates have become a much debated topic, not only in the South African academic environment but in many parts of the world. Of particular concern are Master's and PhD degrees: how many years should students take to complete them? Universities are taking completion times very seriously, as they should, and faculties are being urged to improve their average throughput rates based on statistics that are generated annually.	en
