Admission to NMMU
Prospective students must meet the statutory minimum requirements based on the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or equivalent school-leaving certificate for admission to a higher certificate, diploma or degree programme. Provisional admission is based on levels/symbols obtained in your Grade 11 final or Grade 12 June/September examinations. However, the final decision is based on your final Grade 12 final exam results. In addition to the general university admission requirements, each programme also has its own specific requirements. Applicants with international or foreign qualifications must satisfy the requirements laid down by the Matriculation Board to qualify for a certificate of exemption for a particular international or foreign school leaving qualification. In the case of applications by candidates who have studied at other higher education institutions accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), the results obtained at such institutions will be considered, together with their academic record and certificate of conduct. Applicants whose Admission Point Score (APS) falls below the APS required for direct entry to a specific qualification may be referred to write an access assessment test, provided that their APS falls within the required testing band. Provisional admission will then be based on both an applicants school and access assessment test performance. For more information contact the Admissions Office on 041 504 2945/ 2593 or visit the website (www.nmmu.ac.za/applications) before applying.
