Entry requirements

An average of 65% for the third year is a minimum requirement for consideration for the programme (but those with averages closer to 70% or above will be prioritised). If you have a 65% average for the first part of the academic year, we encourage you to apply. If your grades are currently at or above the required average, you should receive a provisional offer. The provisional offers will be made firm once final grades are in at the end of the year.

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 applications are made online at www.wits.ac.za/applications; the closing date for each programme is listed in its course finder entry. The application fee is R200 (not payable by current Wits students applying online), paid via the Self-Service Portal or by EFT to the Wits University Application Fees account at FNB.
