Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude graduate Ms Sabrina Loubser ‘fell in love with Philosophy’ during her studies. ‘Philosophy extended and challenged my intellect, and made me think outside of the box while formulating solid arguments and analysis.  The discipline is one of the most inspiring and relevant to humanity.’

Loubser had to travel between the Howard College and Westville campuses to attend lectures for her two majors, Philosophy and Economics. ‘I was determined to do this cross-disciplinary degree. The co-ordinations were tough – but extremely worth it.’

Loubser, who received the UKZN Malegapuru W Makgoba Scholarship for academic merit, advised other students to ‘soak it all in – the undergraduate university experience disappears before you know it!  Go to lectures!  Attendance was my number one key to making the best of my UKZN experience.’

Loubser plans to pursue postgraduate studies at UKZN.
