Postgraduate Taught

The majority of our taught Masters programmes require that you hold a qualification equivalent to a lower second-class Bachelor Honours (or 2.2). Please check our course pages for specific entry requirements.

We generally consider a Bachelor Honours degree or Professional Bachelor degree of a minimum four years in duration (either must sit at level 8 of the South African National Qualifications Framework) awarded by a nationally recognised higher education institution in South Africa to be comparable to a UK Bachelor Honours degree.

Lower second-class (2.2) equivalent
Second Class (Division Two) / 60-69%

Upper second-class (2.1) equivalent
Second Class (Division One) / 70-74%
