Hans Haupt: Postgraduate student and Monash University Alumnus

Hans Haupt, son of Johannes Haupt and Christiane Haupt, was born on the 5th of June in South Africa.

A former prefect of Tom Newby Primary and deputy-head prefect of Ashton International College, Hans is now a Monash University Alumnus with two degrees.

During Hans’ initial Bachelor of Arts (2004-2006), where he double majored in Communications and Marketing, he was voted as a media liaison officer of the Monash student body, was requested to participate in the inaugural Monash mobility intercampus programme in Australia, contributed to Monash South Africa’s annual feasibility review, and, as one of the top Communication and Marketing students in his final year, was invited to continue to pursue an Honours degree in Communications.

Subsequently, throughout 2007, Hans pursued and successfully obtained his second degree, a research Bachelor of Arts Honours in Communications. Through hard work and diligence, he graduated summa cum laude (with highest academic honours), obtained the Deans Recognition Award for outstanding academic performance and is now a member of the Monash Charter of the Golden Key International Honour Society.

Currently, Hans is pursuing his Masters by research in New Media Communications, Integrated Marketing Communications and Ludological studies at Monash University South Africa. Furthermore he is an active and founding member of the South African Charter of the Monash University Alumni Association. However, Hans plans to continue his Masters and pursue his Doctorate studies at Monash University Australia from 2010.
