Other qualification, including matriculation results outside South Africa

Applicants with other types of qualifications and those achieved outside South Africa , should submit their qualification to the Higher Education South Africa (HESA) for verification, before processing for admission.

For practical reasons only a limited number of applicants can be admitted to the degree programme, therefore meeting the minimum APS does not guarantee admission.
