What If You Don’t Qualify?

If you don’t qualify for the programme you want, you can consider starting with a Higher Certificate course and then articulating into a diploma or degree. Unisa provides pathways for students to upgrade their qualifications over time.

For example, if you want to become a teacher but don’t meet the minimum APS for a BEd, you can start with the Higher Certificate in Education, complete it, and then apply for the degree later.
