About us Nelson Mandela University is the only university in the world that carries the name of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. The University embraces Nelson Mandela’s challenge to be “caring, responsible and innovative”, and recognises the importance of continuously growing and adapting in the pursuit of knowledge and lifelong learning. We offer both general and professionally oriented university qualifications, as well as technologically and career-oriented programmes. The success of our career-focused programmes lies in the hands-on involvement of industry and business. Undergraduate programmes include higher certificates, diplomas and first degrees, i.e., bachelor’s degrees. All diplomas and some degree programmes are career-focused, while others are more general and allow students to tailor their interests, aptitudes and career plans. National Senior Certificate (NSC) • The table below explains what the minimum statutory requirements for each qualification level are (Higher Certificate, Diploma or Degree). • The university has also set its own additional minimum entry requirements. • Please note that the achievement of the minimum statutory requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to any programme or field of study.

Applying to Nelson Mandela University • Your application for early admission should be submitted before the August closing date. Late applications will however only be considered after this date, based on academic merit, until the September closing date. Places for some qualifications are limited and it is therefore in your best interest to submit your application early. • MBChB, BPharm and Bachelor or Radiography (Diagnostic) qualifications close earlier than the dates listed above. Applicants need to consult the student access & enrolment office, website, or faculty to determine annual closing dates. No late applications will be considered after the published closing date. • Prospective students must meet the minimum statutory entry requirements based on the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or equivalent schoolleaving certificate for admission to a higher certificate, diploma or degree qualification, in order to be considered. • Submission of a completed application form does not mean that you have been accepted as a student, or that you may register. All prospective students are selected in accordance with the admissions policy of the university, and applicants will be notified of the outcome by the Student Access & Enrolment Office • Conditional acceptance is based on your Applicant Score (AS) obtained in your Grade 11 final, or Grade 12 June/September examinations. However, the final decision is based on your final Grade 12 exam results. • In addition to the general university admission requirements, each programme also has its own specific requirements. • If a programme is full, you may be denied admission even though you meet the admission 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 (refer to the table overleaf). • 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. Accommodation On-campus: The university provides comfortable on-campus accommodation options. These include the residences on the Summerstrand, Second Avenue and George campuses and the Student Village in Summerstrand, which consists of self-catering units.

Your application can only be finalised as soon as these additional selection processes have been completed. Important documentation You need to submit the following: • A certified copy of your identity document (ID document compulsory for SA Citizens). You may also provide your ID number or serial number that appears on your birth certificate. • A certified copy of your latest school results (Grade 11 final, or Grade 12 June/September results, or final school leaving certificate). No Grade 12 March results. • Declaration by your parent/legal guardian / surety form (form downloaded from our website). • A certified copy of your parent/legal guardian/surety’s identity document (ID). • Completed disability assessments form (if applicable). • Proof of your current residential/home or postal address. NB: Please note that your student number/identity number must clearly be indicated on all documentation submitted. Your application form cannot be processed if you do not include all supporting documentation with your application. How to calculate your Applicant Score (AS) • First look up the Applicant Score (AS) for the qualification you are applying for – also note any required subjects. • Your Applicant Score (AS) will be different if you took Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy or Technical Mathematics at school. • Your Applicant Score (AS) is calculated using six subjects. Please note that Life Orientation (LO) is excluded. • Write down your Grade 12 subjects and the most recent percentage (%) obtained in each subject (NO Gr 12 March results). • You MUST include the results for the following three compulsory subjects: 1) Home language; 2) 1st Add. Language; and 3) Maths; or Maths Lit; or Technical Maths. • For applicants with seven Grade 12 NSC subjects, the AS is calculated by adding the percentages for the six 20-credit subjects (Note that the Life Orientation percentage is not included as it is a 10-credit subject). This gives a score out of 600. • For those applicants taking eight or more subjects the AS is calculated as follows: add the percentages obtained for the three compulsory / fundamental subjects (the two languages and Mathematics, or Mathematical Literacy, or Technical Mathematics.), plus the percentage(s) for any subject(s) required by the programme, together with the percentage(s) for the next best / highest subject(s), to a maximum of six subjects. • In addition, for those applicants from quintile 1 to 3 schools who attain 50% or higher for Life Orientation, 7 points are added to their score out of 600 to arrive at their final AS. • Compare your AS & subject requirements to the minimum needed for the qualification you want to apply for. • If your Applicant Score (AS) & subject requirements are below the minimum required, you will need to consider another qualification for which you do qualify. * All South African public ordinary schools are categorised into five groups, called quintiles. Quintile 1 to 3 are non-fee-paying schools, while Quintile 4 & 5 are fee- paying schools Financial facts Before registering as a student, you need to determine whether you will have sufficient funds to finance your studies. Costs involved in higher education include: • Registration, enrolment & tuition fees. • Textbooks, study material & stationery. • Sports equipment (if applicable). • Transport. • Meals. • On-or-off campus-accommodation and general living expenses. The University offers various bursaries to both new and current students, including our scholar and student merit awards. Funds are also administered from corporate donors and from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to assist students in financing their studies. More information on these options can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office on T: 041 504 1111 or alternatively log a ticket on crm.mandela.ac.za International/Foreign/NCV Level 4 equivalency conversion table • South African and International applicants with International, NCV level 4 or Foreign School-Leaving certificates, should use the table below to calculate an equivalent Applicant Score (AS) for admission, based on percentages obtained in such certificates. • Applicants with international or foreign qualifications must also 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. Applications for such certificates must be made to the Matriculation board directly: https://mb.usaf.ac.za/ • Applicants will have to comply with the minimum Applicant Score (AS) set for the UG qualification they wish to apply for, as well as meet any other additional subject requirements directly. • To calculate your Applicant Score (AS) use the symbols/achievement rating/percentages obtained in your school-leaving examinations in order to convert them to an equivalent achievement standard on the National Senior Certificate (NSC).
