Admission Requirements

Comments on entry requirements

  • The minimum entry requirements do not necessarily guarantee admission to any qualifications offered by the university. Admission depends on the availability of space and the student's overall performance.
  • Please refer to section 9 of this handbook for the entry requirements for students who possess a Senior Certificate (SC) or a National Certificate (Vocational) NC(V).
  • Recognition of prior learning (RPL) may be considered an alternate qualification entry route.
  • Applications from students with international school leaving results are considered in terms of:
  • Higher Education South Africa (HESA) guideline document, " A guide to application for exemption certificates" and where required a submission of international qualification to SAQA for benchmarking in terms of HEQC.
  • Applicants who do not fully meet the minimum requirements for a specific qualification may be granted entry into the qualification under special circumstances subject to Senate endorsement/approval
