Procedures For Prospective Applicants:


Step 1: Check Entry requirements!!


Legal Entry Requirements: Undergraduate Applicants

Applicants with non-South African school leaving certificates must ensure that they qualify for full or conditional matriculation exemption in terms of the guidelines provided by the South African Matriculation Board. Please refer to the SAUVCA (South African University Vice Chancellors' Association) website at www.sauvca.org.za/mb. Contact the Matric Board on: 27 (0)12 481 2848/2847
