Choose a study route, then see where to study.

Choose a career field, then a career possibility.

About NQF order: routes with identified NQF levels are shown highest first; routes without a confirmed level appear afterwards. A higher NQF level does not automatically make a route better for your chosen career.

Before you apply

Do not choose an institution by name alone.

Check the exact programme, admission requirements and professional pathway that match the career you want.

01

Check the qualification

Make sure the institution offers the exact degree, diploma, occupational programme or training route you need.

02

Check admission rules

Compare subject requirements, APS or selection criteria, application dates and any portfolio or assessment requirements.

03

Check professional recognition

For regulated professions, confirm that the programme supports the registration or accreditation route required for practice.

04

Check affordability

Compare fees, NSFAS or bursary eligibility, accommodation, transport and other study costs before committing.

Still deciding?

Explore the career first, then choose the institution.

Understanding the career helps you avoid choosing a qualification simply because the name sounds familiar.

Programme names, NQF levels, admission requirements and availability can change. Always confirm the current programme details on the institution’s official website before applying.
