Please Note:
1. Although the information in this Prospectus has been compiled as accurately as possible, the Council
accepts no responsibility for any inaccuracies in this publication. This Prospectus is valid for 2024 only.
2. Life Orientation and an achievement Level of 1 in a subject are not considered in the calculation of the
Admission Point Score (APS).
3. Prospective students will not be admitted to any qualification without prior evaluation.
4. The indicated non-refundable administration fee and certified copies of your identity document, Senior
Certificate/National Senior Certificate and all other relevant documents must accompany the completed
application form or online application.
5. The closing dates for admissions are available on the University's website.
6. A student must complete a qualification at the learning site where he/she was accepted and is registered.
A transfer between sites will only be allowed if the student follows the following process:
• A formal request must be submitted to the academic manager/Head of the Department on the current
learning site before the second Friday in May (to be considered for transfer in July of the same
year) or the second Friday in October (to be considered for a transfer in January of the following
year). The request must contain the reasons for the transfer.
• A committee will meet shortly after each of the closing dates for submissions to consider every
request on merit, keeping in mind the availability of space and the adherence to enrolment quotas
on respective learning sites. Students will be informed of the outcome.
Important:
TUT admission requirements for entry-level programmes adhere to national legislation and therefore the
following are required:
Please verify specific and additional requirements per programme as indicated in the Prospectus.
• While there is a legal imperative to submit the certificate of equivalence (issued by SAQA or the CHE), it
is recommended that the application process be initiated while the application for certificate is in process.

requirements, a minimum score of 1600 is needed for admission to a degree, with a subminimum of not less
than 500 for Critical Reading and Mathematics and 550 for Writing. The percentiles on the SAT certificate can
be used to derive scores for Mathematics and English, as indicated in the table above. The student’s college
entrance certificate (such as the certificate issued by the ACE School of Tomorrow) or individual SAT subject
tests should be used for the scores of any other subjects required.

f. Minimum duration:
Four years.
h. Work-Integrated Learning:
Attendance of the allocated Work-Integrated Learning is compulsory. If a student has not
completed all Work-Integrated Learning hours and reached the practical objectives in the
various clinical areas, including simulated skills and service learning, he/she will be excluded
from proceeding to the next year of study. In addition, students in the fourth year of study
should submit the completed midwifery register. Students who do not meet the minimum
required number of Work-Integrated Learning hours at the end of the fourth academic year
will have to re-register to complete the Work-Integrated Learning.

and midwife once the required number of Work-Integrated Learning hours are completed and
all learning objectives are met.
i. General information for registration with the South African Nursing Council (SANC):
All students undergoing education or training in nursing must apply to the South African Council
to be registered as a Learner Nurse. Documents must be submitted to SANC within 30 days
of commencement, therefore all documents must be submitted to the Nursing School before

by the student. Should a student terminate and later resume their nursing studies, termination
and re-registration with SANC as a Learner Nurse is required. Please contact the academic
department for further information.
