Advanced Diploma in Architectural Technology at Cape Peninsula University of Technology

Entry requirements

Applicants may include CPUT Diploma graduates, CPUT returning students, and external applicants. CPUT Diploma graduates of the preceding year, who obtained a minimum of 60% for all third year subjects, and a minimum of 60% average, will be automatically accepted, and not be required to submit an academic record, CV or portfolio of evidence. However, they must still submit a statement of employment status or a letter of employer support. If you don't have the relevant Diploma qualification, your Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) should be guided by the following, to include evidence of competence as comparable to the respective required Diploma qualification. What are the requirements for International students? International students who do not reside in South Africa, and study part-time, do not need student visas because they will be spending less than a total of 30-days in South Africa. For this purpose, ask for the Departmental letter to submit to the International office to confirm this. Make sure to liaise with the International Office. International students must also make sure to validate their undergraduate international qualifications with the necessary SAQA documentation. International students who do not reside in South Africa, and wish to study full-time, will require a student visa, as the eight on-campus block weeks and portfolio assessments exceed 30 days. Can I study the Advanced Diploma in Architectural Technology whilst working? Yes, the programme is designed to accommodate mature and working professionals, through its flexible, blended and online learning design. It is in fact mandatory that part-time students work, at least part-time (50%) in architectural practice, and be mentored by a SACAP registered Professional Senior Architectural Technologist or registered Professional Architect.
