Five passes at one sitting at Higher Grade in the Matriculation Exams are considered to be suitable for direct entry to undergraduate study.
With regard to grades, entry requirements vary according to subject, but are typically in the region of AAAAB - BBBBB.
For entry onto certain subjects, particularly science or engineering degree courses, Schools may ask certain for subjects at Higher Level, usually mathematics and physics.
For students whose first language is not English, our standard English language requirements apply.
English language requirements vary by course and department but are usually the equivalent of IELTS 6.0 - 7.5.
Non-native English-speaking applicants who have successfully completed a degree qualification in the medium of English from a recognised South African university will be considered for English language requirement exemption.
Please note that this is generic information only. Faculties and Schools have different entry requirements and some qualifications may not be acceptable for certain courses, so it is important to check with the School directly before you apply.
Some courses have additional entry requirements such as previous work experience, submission of written work with the application or previous study of a particular subject.
