Can I apply with N4 at Unisa?

Yes, you can apply with an N4 qualification at UniSA for specific programs, notably for the Diploma in Information Technology. Here are the requirements for this particular diploma that highlight the eligibility of someone with an N4 qualification:

  • For the Diploma in Information Technology: You need a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a Diploma endorsement or equivalent, with at least 50% in the language of teaching and learning, and 50% in Mathematics. Alternatively, you can qualify with at least N4 Mathematics passed with a minimum of 50% and N4 English, N4 Communication, or N4 Communication Technology passed with at least 50%. Additionally, if you possess a Senior Certificate (SC), you need at least a D symbol on HG or a C symbol on SG in the language of teaching and learning, and at least a D symbol on HG or a C symbol on SG in Mathematics. A D symbol on HG or a C symbol on SG in Physical Science is required if any Physics or Chemistry modules form part of the curriculum of the selected qualification. The N4 qualifications are explicitly mentioned as acceptable for applying to this diploma, provided the specific grade requirements are met.

Furthermore, for admission into diploma qualifications, students must comply with all requirements, including a minimum APS of 18, and must be eligible for diploma studies. Those who do not meet these requirements might consider applying for a lower-level qualification for which they meet the statutory and additional requirements.

Therefore, if your N4 qualifications meet these criteria, especially in Mathematics and the relevant communication subject with at least 50% scores, you are eligible to apply for the Diploma in Information Technology at UniSA.
