本文从双语大学双语教育的现状出发，对平行双语教育和融合双语教育进行了区分。它提出了一个概述的语言政策的发展在历史上南非荷兰语为媒介的大学在南非的背景下不断变化的高等教育环境。本文表明，这些大学选择了一个相当灵活的政策，教育媒体。虽然平行双语教育已被视为首选模式，但也考虑到各种偏差。这种做法是在需要进行改革（从而保留南非荷兰语，以安抚传统客户并确保传统的外部资金来源）与需要进行变革（并增加使用机会，以实现多语言和多文化）之间的一种妥协。这种看似双语的做法并不意味着高等教育本身要走向双语。其他动机，如语言维护和生存的需要是决定因素。
This paper departs from current approaches to bilingual education at bilingual universities and draws a distinction between parallel bilingual education and integrated bilingual education. It presents an overview of language policy development at historically Afrikaans-medium universities in South Africa against the background of a changing higher education environment. The paper demonstrates that such universities have opted for a rather flexible policy on the medium of education. Although parallel bilingual education has been taken as the preferred model, allowance is made for various deviations. This approach represents a compromise between the need to reform (and thus maintain Afrikaans, so as to appease traditional clientele and secure traditional sources of external funding) and the need to transform (and increase access so as to become multilingual and multicultural). The seemingly bilingual approach does not suggest a move towards bilingual higher education per se. Other motives such as language maintenance and the need to survive are the deciding factors.
