Admission

Your admission to Unisa is dependent on you meeting the admission requirements for your chosen qualification.

Should you not meet the admission requirements for your chosen qualification, you may appeal for admission via alternative pathways, provided you submit the following documentation:

  • a motivational letter of no more than 3 pages
  • a CV highlighting your experience in your field of interest
  • evidence that you have engaged with research in your field, such as 
    • a written report of a scholarly nature
    • a paper presented at a conference
    • a literature survey
    • a published article

Remember, there may be additional admission requirements based on the qualification you choose. Meeting these requirements does not mean automatic acceptance. Many qualifications have a limited number of places for the year and each application will be considered individually.
