Guide for International Applicants and Applicants with Non-South African Qualifications
The normal closing date for applications, for the intake of the academic year starting at the end of January of each year, is 31 October of the previous year. We will, however, accept late registrations, pending the circumstances. Since it takes a lot of time to comply with all the necessary requirements, we recommend that you start with the application process as soon as possible.
The duration of the academic year is from the last week of January until the beginning of December. Students for the July intake should apply no later than 30 April of that year.
