ALTERNATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

ACCEPTANCE IS SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE CAPACITY ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT ENROLMENT PLAN (SEP)

Alternative and international qualifications (HIGSCE, IGCSE, NSSC A&O Level, IB Higher and Standard Level, etc) are dealt with in a specific manner:

• While there is a legal imperative to submit the certificate of equivalence (issued by SAQA or the CHE) it is recommended that the application process be initiated while the application for certificate is in process.
• The Tshwane University of Technology cannot obtain this certificate on your behalf.
• Life Orientation and an achievement level of 1 in a subject are not considered in the calculation of the Admission Point Score (APS).
• Prospective students will not be admitted to any programme without prior evaluation.
• TUT requires a National Senior Certificate (NQF Level 4) or an equivalent qualification, with a minimum of six subjects, including English (home or first additional language with a minimum score of 3), Mathematics (Technical Mathematics) or Mathematical Literacy (as per specific academic programme requirement) and the further subjects required by a specific academic programme.
• Prospective students may apply on the basis of Grade 11 or mid-year Grade 12 results and may be granted provisional admission pending the final submission of Grade 12 results.

Please note:

As from March 2005, a minimum score of 1500 is needed for admission to a National Diploma, with a sub-minimum of not less than 460 for Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing. In accordance with HESA requirements, a minimum score of 1600 is needed for admission to a degree, with a subminimum of not less than 500 for Critical Reading and Mathematics and 550 for Writing. The percentiles on the SAT certificate can be used to derive scores for Mathematics and English, as indicated in the table above. The student’s college entrance certificate (such as the certificate issued by the ACE School of Tomorrow) or individual SAT subject tests should be used for the scores of any other subjects required.
