Curriculum:
Each Unisa qualification is structured in such way that you need to pass a total number of modules within a certain amount of time in order to graduate.
Choose wisely! Rather than choose too many, choose a number of modules you know you can manage and pass. Having said that, though, you also need to pass a minimum number of modules per year, so you can’t choose too few either.
Remember to also to take your available time into consideration when choosing your modules. You need approximately
- 6 to 8 hours per week for semester modules
- 4 to 6 hours per week for year modules.
Apply for Admission:
You must apply for each new qualification even if you already have a Unisa student number. You may apply for a maximum of two qualifications and can only apply online.
