   What you can study

   The university is a broad public institution, but the programme catalogue is not published in the information available here. Check the official website for the current list of degrees, departments, and subject areas before applying.

   Getting in

   International applicants should use the university’s official website for the current application process, entry requirements, required documents, and deadlines. Because detailed admissions rules are not published here, confirm whether your qualification is accepted, what proof of language ability is needed, and how to submit supporting documents with the admissions office.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students here; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on where you stay in South Africa, so check accommodation, transport, and daily expenses separately.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated here, so confirm it on the official website before you apply. If you are moving from abroad, also check visa steps, document certification, health insurance requirements, and whether your chosen programme is open to international students.
