Routes to further study (Tertiary Education)

Introduction:

International: All courses offered by our associates are recognised by universities world wide.

South Africa:  Matric Exemption does not guarantee acceptance into any university. Matric Exemption is required to APPLY for university entrance in South Africa. Many smaller, private universities and colleges such as Varsity College, Vega and FAFTA require only a Matric exemption. Most faculties in top universities such as UCT, Stellenbosch, WITTS and Rhodes, require more points than are achieved with the minimum requirements to achieve a Matric exemption.
