Who Can Apply for Postgraduate Studies at Unisa?

Before applying for a postgraduate qualification at Unisa, ensure that the qualification that you choose is in line with the major subjects you chose for your undergraduate qualification.

 

The minimum requirements have to be met for any postgraduate qualification you plan to apply for. However, even if you don’t meet the minimum percentage required, you can still apply.

 

Applicants who can apply for postgraduate studies at Unisa include:

 

  • First-time Unisa applicants

  • Unisa students looking to change their specialisation of their current qualification
  • Undergraduate students in their final year of study and plan to study for a postgraduate qualification.

Note that your application will still be rejected but the university will assist students with a way forward i.e doing non-degree purposes (NDP) modules or applying for a different qualification.
