VISION AND MISSION

OUR VISION
Our vision is to be recognised for our positive and empowering contribution towards
the local business and broader community. As part of a university, we are fully
committed to our engagement with Science, but at the same time we also understand
that, as a public institution, we have a special role to play within the community. We
believe that the effective integration of these two foci not only adds value to the broader
community but also adds a differentiating value to our graduates and our faculty. While
our qualifications are benchmarked against international best practice, they are
designed to reflect a sensitivity to the needs of our local communities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is derived from the fact that Nelson Mandela University is one of the few
really comprehensive universities, not only in South Africa but in the world. This means
that we offer a wide range of business-related study opportunities that vary from
general formative programmes to programmes with a strong career orientation. This
inclusive qualification mix not only allows students a wide choice but also the
opportunity to articulate between programmes while retaining credits - all of this within
the same institution. At the same time, we offer programmes over the full spectrum,
from undergraduate certificates to doctoral degrees.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND

REGULATIONS
Every student of this faculty is bound by the rules contained in this document and in addition
by the Nelson Mandela University’s regulations as contained in the General Prospectus and
all relevant policies. It is the responsibility of every student to acquaint him/herself with the
contents of the relevant rules and policies.
GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

(UNDERGRADUATE)
The admissions requirements for undergraduate programmes offered by Nelson Mandela
University consist of:
• the statutory minimum requirements based on the National Senior Certificate (NSC), or
equivalent school-leaving certificate;
• the Applicant Score (AS), a composite score based on school subject achievement; and
• specific school subject and other requirements (e.g., departmental selection, portfolios,
interviews)
These requirements are relevant for the following local and international qualifications: NSC,
Senior Certificate, Cambridge qualifications, International Baccalaureate, Namibian and
Kenyan Senior Secondary Certificates, and the NC(V) 4.
NSC MINIMUM STATUTORY ENTRY REQUIREMENT

Qualification Minimum Statutory Entry Requirement:
Currently the statutory requirement for admission to a higher certificate, diploma or degree
programme is a National Senior Certificate with the appropriate endorsement as well as the
minimum language of teaching and learning requirement of the Higher Education Institution.
Qualification Minimum Statutory entry requirement

Higher Certificate Pass the NSC, with a minimum of 30% in the language of
learning and teaching of the higher education institution, together
with any other university requirements.
Diploma Pass the NSC with a minimum of 30% in the language of
learning and teaching of the higher education institution,
coupled with an achievement rating of 3 (40–49%) or better in
four recognised NSC 20-credit subjects, together with any other
university requirements
Bachelor’s Degree Pass the NSC with a minimum of 30% in the language of
learning and teaching of the higher education institution,
coupled with an achievement rating of 4 (50–59%) or better in
four NSC 20-credit subjects together with any other university
requirements.
NC(V)4 applicants must meet the minimum requirements for higher certificate, diploma or
degree entry as well as the AS and subject admission requirements.
20
Applicants with alternate, international or foreign qualifications must satisfy the

requirements laid down by the Matriculation Board to qualify for a certificate of exemption for
a particular alternate, international or foreign school-leaving qualification. These requirements
are contained in Government Gazette No. 31674, 5 December 2008 and can be found on the
HESA website http://www.hesa-enrol.ac.za/mb/forpres.htm. Applications for such certificates
must be made to the Matriculation board directly: https://mb.usaf.ac.za/
THE APPLICANT SCORE (AS)
For NSC applicants with seven Grade 12 subjects, the AS is calculated by adding the
percentages for the six 20-credit subjects (Note that the Life Orientation percentage is not
included as it is a 10-credit subject). This gives a score out of 600.
For those applicants taking eight or more subjects the AS is calculated as follows:
• add the percentages obtained for the three compulsory / fundamental subjects (the two
languages and Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy),
• plus the percentage(s) for any subject(s) required by the programme,
• together with the percentage(s) for the next best / highest subject(s), to a maximum of six
subjects.
For those applicants from Quintile 1 to 3 schools who attain 50% or higher for Life Orientation,
7 points are added to their score out of 600 to arrive at their final AS.
The table below provides an example of how to calculate the AS for:

• Applicant 1 has 7 NSC Grade 12 subjects and is applying for a programme with Life
Science and Physical Science as required subjects; and
• Applicant 2 who is applying for the same programme, but who took 8 subjects in Grade
12.
• Applicant 3 who is applying for the same programme, but who is from a Quintile 1 school.

For South African and International applicants with International, NC(V) 4 or Foreign
School-Leaving certificates, use the table below to calculate an equivalent Applicant Score
(AS) for admission, based on percentages obtained in such certificates.
Applicants will have to comply with the minimum Applicant Score (AS) set for the
Undergraduate qualification they wish to apply for, as well as meet any other additional subject
requirements directly.
The Applicant Score (AS) uses the symbols/achievement rating/percentages obtained in an
applicant’s school-leaving examinations in order to convert them to an equivalent achievement
standard on the National Senior Certificate (NSC). The AS is calculated using six subjects,
which must include the language(s), and subject requirements for admission, but excluding
Life Orientation.

SCHOOL SUBJECT AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS

The Undergraduate Programmes General Information & Admissions Requirements Guide,
University website or Faculty Prospectus provides information on the required subjects and
what the minimum AS required for admission is for each undergraduate programme offered
by Nelson Mandela University
Candidates who satisfy the minimum requirements and who apply online before the
official early closing date (August 3) are given preference.
Applications will be considered until the 30th of September.
Applicants who apply in January will have to apply through Central Application Service Hub
(CASH).
Final acceptance is based on official final school-leaving results. Applicants currently at
school receive provisional, subject to submission of final results.
NATIONAL BENCHMARK TEST (NBT)

Generally, most programmes offered at the Nelson Mandela University do not require
applicants to write the National Benchmark Test (NBT). However, there are a very small
number of qualifications which require NBT results. If under the requirements of the
programme you are interested in, states that NBT results are required, please consult the NBT
website (https://www.nbt.ac.za) to book a test date. Applicants interested in programmes
requiring NBT results are encouraged to book and write these tests as early as possible. A
reference letter from the University is not required.
GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

(POSTGRADUATE)
LEVELS AND TYPES OF POSTGRADUATE STUDY
Postgraduate qualifications are structured as follows:
• Postgraduate certificate or diploma
• Bachelor honours degree
• Master’s degree
• Doctoral degree
A postgraduate certificate or diploma provides an opportunity to undertake advanced study

that will strengthen and deepen your knowledge in a particular discipline or profession.
Completion of the qualification gives graduates access to a related master’s degree
programme. The programmes consist mainly of coursework modules and may include
conducting and reporting research under supervision.Duration of study: one year full-time
23
The bachelor honours degree is the initial postgraduate specialisation qualification, preparing
students for research-based postgraduate study. This qualification typically follows a
bachelor’s degree, and serves to consolidate and deepen the student’s experience in a
particular discipline, and to develop research capacity in the methodology and techniques of
that discipline. It demands a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual
independence. In some cases a bachelor honours degree carries recognition by an
appropriate professional or statuary body. Bachelor honours degree programmes usually
include conducting and reporting research under supervision, in a manner that is appropriate
to the discipline or field of study. Not all honours programmes at Nelson Mandela University
involve conducting research, but all of them include a research methodology course as part of
the coursework component. Completion of a bachelor honours degree meets the minimum
entry requirement of admission to a cognate Master’s degree. Entry into a master’s degree
programme is usually in the area of specialisation of the bachelor honours degree. A
qualification may not be awarded for early exit from a bachelor honours degree.
Bachelor honours programmes usually take one year of full-time study.
A master’s degree may be earned in one of two ways: (i) by completing a single advanced
research project, culminating in the production and acceptance of a dissertation, or (ii) by
successfully completing a coursework programme and a smaller applied research component.
The admission requirement is a relevant honours degree. Professional or advanced career-
focused bachelor’s degrees, such as BEng, BPharm, BCur, BPsych and BTech, may also be
recognised as the minimum entry requirement to a related master’s degree programme.
Duration of study: Coursework master’s degree: one year full- time. Research master’s
degree: one year to 4 years.
A doctoral degree requires a candidate to undertake research at the most advanced

academic level, culminating in the production of a thesis. The research outcome has to make
a significant and original academic contribution to a discipline or field. The degree may be
earned through pure discipline based on multi- disciplinary or applied research. The degree
may include a coursework component as preparation to the research, but does not contribute
to the credit value of the qualification.
Duration of study: 2 to 6 years
24
READMISSION RULES FOR

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES
(Excluding Honours & BTech)
The purpose of Policy on Academic Progression and Re-admission to Undergraduate
Programmes is to indicate both the process by which Senate determines readmission
requirements and who has the authority to refuse readmission to a student who fails to
satisfy such minimum requirements for admission.
The policy furthermore addresses the importance of reviewing student progress, where a
student can obtain information on readmission requirements, the support afforded to
students with conditional readmission, and the process to be followed to appeal a
readmission refusal decision.
Nelson Mandela University upholds academic excellence in its endeavour to equip
students with transformative and sustainable graduate attributes. Among the principles
underpinning learning at the University is that lecturers have high expectations that
students will succeed in their studies. Academic progression can be viewed as
persistence and motivation to achieve a mark of 50% or more in the modules enrolled for.
It is the responsibility of lecturers, professional academic support staff, and students to
co-create learning experiences that promote excellence and foster student success.
Furthermore, in accordance with sound educational practices related to enhancing
academic success, procedures need to be in place to regularly review the academic
progress of students. Monitoring students’ academic performance, psycho-social status
and possible aggravating factors on an ongoing basis is a key strategy to enhance student
success and throughput.
Each Faculty Board must thus approve a process to review the performance of students
at a module and/or programme level in their Faculty, submit the process to the Learning
and Teaching Committee for approval, and monitor the implementation of the review
process.
Minimum requirements for readmission must be determined by faculties, submitted for
approval to Senate and published in the faculty prospectus where applicable.
The following general principles will apply:

• Faculties should consider not only a level (i.e., number of credits accumulated per year
of registration), but also a range in which conditional readmission will apply;
• Faculties should have the discretion to determine the minimum credit value for
readmission to a particular programme;
• Where the maximum study period has been reached, but a student is close to
graduating in that he/she only requires a few credits to graduate, the Faculty should
have clear criteria in place to apply discretion to readmit the student;
• Faculties should have the discretion to deal with possible exceptions.
25
Process to determine if readmission requirements have been met and to refuse

readmission
The following process must be followed when reaching a decision whether the
readmission requirements have been met:
• The performance of all students registered for a programme in a faculty must be
reviewed against the readmission requirements.
• Unless the Faculty Board decides otherwise, this review will normally take place at
the end of an academic year.
• Students who have not yet reached the maximum years of study for their programme
must be notified by Faculty Academic Administration if they have been readmitted as
they met the requirements or if they have been conditionally readmitted and what the
conditions are.
• The Head of Department/Director of School/Executive Dean has the delegated
authority to refuse the readmission of students who have reached the maximum years
of study for their qualification but did not manage to complete the qualification.
• The Head of Department/Director of School in collaboration with Faculty Academic
Administration must convey the fact that readmission has been refused and the
reasons for this must be attached to the Student Record.
• The Head of Department/Director of School must be able to provide the detailed
information that informed the decision, should the decision to refuse readmission be
appealed.
• A student who has been refused readmission can appeal.
Appeal procedure
• The student has the right to appeal against a decision to refuse readmission.
• The appeal will normally be handled by the Faculty Management Committee, unless
the Faculty Board determines that another faculty committee must consider the
appeal. In the latter instance, the Faculty Board must determine the composition of
the committee. The decision reached by the appropriate faculty committee regarding
the readmission appeal will be final and no further appeal will be permitted.
• The process followed to apply for, consider and deal with a readmission appeal is as
follows:
o A student must submit their appeal in writing on a prescribed readmission
appeal form,with full motivation and supporting documentation, to their Faculty
Academic Administration Consultant by either the last day of the re-
examination period or within five (5) working days of receiving notification of
readmission refusal, whichever date is the latest.
o Faculty Academic Administration must forward the appeal, together with a
copy of the student’s study record and the letter in which the student was
informed that he/she was being refused readmission, to the Faculty
Management Committee.
o The Faculty Management Committee or the committee identified by the faculty
to do so will then handle the appeal where consideration could be given to
factors such as:
 Whether the student participated in programmes and activities to
enhance their academic progress.
 Whether there are any special circumstances related to the student’s
unsatisfactory academic performance that should be taken into
account and which could mitigate against refusing readmission.
o A statement of the outcome of the appeal and a motivation for the decision
reached must be communicated to and placed on the student’s record by
Faculty Academic Administration.
26
Maximum period of study exceeded

In the event that a student exceeds the maximum allowable period of study, the student
will only be readmitted under special circumstances (e.g. when the student, with due
consideration of his/her academic record, is likely to complete his/her qualification by the
end of the year).

EXTENDED PROGRAMMES
The high failure rate of first-year students at the Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences,
particularly those from disadvantaged educational backgrounds, is indicative of an underlying
educational system not focused on the realities of our situation. Accepting students into
programmes, knowing that the probability of success is very low, results not only in the
wastage of economic resources but also in a system which is ethically questionable.
The aim of the extended programme is to offer an integrated solution to the problems of an
under-prepared matriculant wanting to study at the Faculty of Business and Economic
Sciences. It addresses the need for academic bridging within the context of a particular
mainstream programme.
PHILOSOPHY
The following are the fundamental principles underpinning the introduction of these
programmes:
• Certain students, particularly students from educationally-disadvantaged communities,
may have the potential to study successfully at a tertiary level but are under-prepared for
the particular programme.
• It would be unethical to exclude students with potential if they are under-prepared due to
reasons beyond their control. Opportunities should be developed to facilitate access.
• Allowing a student without the necessary potential to register for a programme is
unproductive and unethical.
29
• Only students with potential and who are properly prepared should be accepted into the
normal mainstream programmes.
• Students who have potential, but are under-prepared, should be provided access by:
o providing relevant pre-tertiary development (bridging); and
o integrating the bridging activities with mainstream study.
OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAMME
The following are the major objectives of these programmes:
• To provide additional access to under-prepared students with potential.
• To provide academic support for under-prepared students.
• To improve the success rate of first-year students.
• To integrate academic bridging activities with mainstream activities.
STATEMENT ON THE UNIVERSITY'S

INTERVENTION IN THE EVENT OF POSSIBLE
DISRUPTIONS TO ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
From past experience the University knows that circumstances beyond our control may disrupt
our academic activities. The University therefore reserves the right to implement certain
emergency measures when deemed necessary to manage such situations. Please note that
the University shall not be held liable for any inconvenience, damage or other negative
consequence resulting from the implementation of such emergency measures.

(LAW)


Framework (HEQSF).
The BCom Accounting Science (Law) programme was introduced as stakeholders in the legal
and accounting professions have for many years asserted that it is important to expose
prospective new entrants to the respective professions to a wider range of law and accounting
disciplines in order to equip them optimally for the challenges of their chosen career, an
approach which has also been strongly endorsed by the respective Faculties and professions.
The BCom Accounting Science (Law) programme has served this purpose well over the years.
However, in the world of the legal practitioner, many a case arises where stringent financial
analyses relating to legal compliance are required in order to formulate the appropriate legal
response. Similar situations arise vice versa in the professional world of the accountant and
auditor. The BCom Accounting Science (Law) programme, with an under-graduate specialty
in the Accounting Sciences, is tailor-made to provide this two-way approach to legal and
financial matters.
Once this four-year undergraduate qualification is conferred, the graduate has the option to
either go the route of qualifying as a Chartered Accountant or to complete two more years
towards obtaining the LLLB degree. The latter opens the door to qualify as a legal practitioner.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

(NO NEW INTAKE)


A defining feature of the "Nelson Mandela University MBA" is our focus on leadership
development, which spans throughout the programme. Our leadership development
programme forms the backbone of our MBA and infuses leadership development throughout
our MBA modules.
289
The Nelson Mandela University MBA is specifically designed to foster strong decisive leaders
armed with business acumen and theoretical knowledge backed by a willingness to take risks
and follow their instincts in order to "make it happen".
We, at the Nelson Mandela University Business School, believe that theory is nothing without
practice and that ideas cannot come alive without action. Working in small syndicate groups
with an experienced cohort of professors, lecturers, high-profile guest speakers and fellow
students, you will operate at a senior management level, steering your management team
through an ever-changing panorama of challenges that impact on real-world business.
Our MBA programme provides an intensive environment where dynamic professionals are
grounded in the vital disciplines of business management. It challenges you to think and act
creatively. The programme is stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable. You will learn alongside
other business leaders of the future and will develop self-discipline, self-awareness and other
important leadership qualities.
M+3 qualification, i.e. a three-year national diploma or a university degree or an equivalent

SAQA-approved qualification.
Candidates who have not had sufficient computer experience are required to attend
introductory lectures on integrative computer training (ICT). These lectures do not attract
additional costs and aim to increase proficiency in MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint,
all of which are essential for successfully completing the MBA programme.
There are two lectures, which will take place on Saturdays during the first trimester. One of
these lectures caters for candidates at the beginner’s level and the other for candidates at an
advanced level. The work covered in these lectures is not examinable.
A limited number of candidates without the required M+3 qualification will be accepted onto
the programme each year, provided that they have wide business experience and a proven
“track record”. Prospective applicants in this category are advised to make telephonic
enquiries well before the end of September prior to the intended year of enrolment.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
Applicants will be required to go through a selection process, which will include testing and an
interview.

Qualification structure:
The MBA programme is offered on a part-time basis over a minimum period of three years or
on a full-time basis over 18 months. Each year comprises three trimesters and, if candidates
have good reason, they can apply in writing to have this period extended.
290
The programme aims to provide insight to the dynamics and management challenges of the
business environment in which organizations operate and the first eight modules, which are
completed over four trimesters, focus on these processes.
In the remaining seven modules, the programme emphasises the principles and workings of
management processes in order to hone and develop managerial ability and skills to full
potential. Finally, to conclude the programme, candidates are required to submit a research
treatise of 20 000 words.
The content and structure of the programme are based on internationally-accredited and
accepted standards. Its specific aim is to equip South African managers with the necessary
knowledge and skills to understand and operate in a global economy, in a world of vanishing
economic and business boundaries. The Business School ensures that it addresses the
changing face of international business by continually adapting and/or changing the curriculum
to ensure that the programme remains at the cutting edge of work relevancy. For further
information, visit www.mbasouthafrica.com.
Experience requirements:
A minimum of three (3) years’ relevant working experience (i.e. experience of managing a
business or a department at senior supervisory or junior management level and/or work
experience within a business environment).
Registration:
On submission of the research project and paper for examination purposes, candidates are
also required to submit a signed declaration from a language expert that the document was
proof-read by him/her.
Additional non-compulsory (non-credit bearing) modules:

• This is a year module but split over 2 years into modules:
o Leadership: Project 1 (module BLP1TR0) and
o Leadership: Project 2 (module BLP2TR0)

at tertiary level.
