Entry requirements

Department of Communication Science honours: minimum average of 65% in the second and third year of a relevant undergraduate degree. Final-year applicants are selected on second-year and first-semester third-year results and must prove an overall 65% average afterwards. Only the top 20 applicants per programme are selected, so 65% does not guarantee selection. A full academic transcript is required; non-South African qualifications need SAQA evaluation.

Tuition is charged per module, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Postgraduate diploma applications open on 1 April; local applicants close 30 September and international applicants close 31 August (Economic and Management Sciences); Health Sciences postgraduate diplomas close 30 September for both local and international applicants.
