The department utilises an Admission Point Score (APS) as selection criteria once your minimum admission requirements are satisfied. You also have to score a minimum of 27 on the APS for the ECP.
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Information is subject to change, based on approval and accreditation of HEQSF aligned qualifications during 2024/2025. Admission requirements may therefore differ between the existing qualification and the HEQSF aligned qualification. Please consult the CPUT website or Faculty for updated information. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this brochure; however the University reserves the right at any time, if circumstances require, to make changes to any of the published details.
