[[Afrikaans-Nederlands]] ("Afrikaans-Dutch") is the name given to courses in the [[Afrikaans]] language at most South African Universities for the first half of the 20th century, at least. Also found as [[Afrikaans en Nederlands]] in some cases.

Part of such a course would consist of studies of [[Dutch]] language and literature (in the same way as Anglo Saxon and Middle English were included in English curricula), since the [[Afrikaans]] language and literature was seen as a derivative of the [[Dutch]]. Many of the early lecturers came from Holland, and it is was for long an established tradition for post-graduate work in [[Afrikaans]] to be undertaken at [[Dutch]] universities in Holland.

By late 20th century however, as local linguistic expertise grew and led to a recognition that the language had far more roots than [[Dutch]] alone; and as the body of Afrikaans literary writing expanded, some departments have begun to refer to the courses and the departments as [[Afrikaans]] only.
