It is possible to upgrade your matric results, but the timing and process depend on the Department of Basic Education’s guidelines and enrolment deadlines for the specific year. Generally, the opportunity to register for the Senior Certificate (Amended) exams, which allow you to improve your results, is available until February each year for the June examinations. If you wish to upgrade this year, you would need to register by these deadlines.
To get started, contact your nearest Department of Education office or check their official website for the latest information on registration dates and required documentation. It is essential to act promptly once registration opens to ensure you can sit for the examinations.
If you have further questions or need assistance with the registration process, it’s best to reach out to the educational authorities directly. For more information, please contact them directly through the official channels. For personalised assistance, email in**@*******rg.za.

Since you have a Higher Certificate in Information Technology and want to upgrade to a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology or Information Systems, you have two options: applying through the normal application process or considering Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
1. Normal Application: If your current qualification meets the entry requirements for the Bachelor’s programme, you can apply directly through the university’s application portal. Make sure to check the specific admission requirements and deadlines on the university’s site or prospectus.
2. RPL Process: If you have significant relevant work experience or if your qualification doesn’t fully meet the entry requirements, RPL might be an option. This process allows your prior learning and experiences to be assessed for credit towards the degree. It’s often used when formal qualifications are not available.
I recommend checking the specific requirements and RPL policies of each university you’re interested in. You can find direct contact details and more information on their official websites using our Universities directory.

Shifting from a Humanities course to a Nursing course can be a significant step, and it’s great that you’re considering it. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Contact the Institution: Reach out to your university’s admissions office to inquire about the process of changing your course. You’ll find official contact details on the universities directory.
2. Application Process: You’ll likely need to submit a new application for the Nursing course. Check if you’ll need to meet specific prerequisites or criteria for the programme.
3. NSFAS Concerns: NSFAS typically funds your first qualification. If funding a second qualification, especially a different field, it can be challenging. Clarify your eligibility with NSFAS directly.
4. Alternative Funding: Explore other funding options like bursaries or scholarships. Check our bursaries page for opportunities. Some institutions may also offer internal funding options.
Transitioning between courses can be smoother with proper guidance.

Yes, it is possible to transfer from North-West University (NWU) to the University of Mpumalanga (UMP), but there are important steps and requirements you need to meet.
Transferring from NWU to UMP:
To transfer between universities in South Africa, you generally need to:
1. Apply to UMP as a transfer student through their official admissions office before the application deadline.
2. Obtain a letter of good standing / academic record from NWU confirming your current enrolment and academic performance.
3. Meet UMP’s minimum entry requirements for the Bachelor of Education (BEd) programme.
4. Provide your National Senior Certificate (NSC/Matric) results, as UMP will assess your original qualifications.
5. Credits from NWU may be recognised through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or credit transfer, but this is subject to UMP’s approval on a module-by-module basis.
Requirements for Bachelor of Education (BEd) at UMP:
– National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a Bachelor’s pass (previously known as a university exemption).
– A minimum APS (Admission Point Score) of around 24–28 (this varies depending on the specialisation and year — confirm directly with UMP).
– Specific subject requirements depending on your chosen teaching phase and subjects. For example:
– For Foundation Phase teaching: you typically need a pass in English and Mathematics.
– For Intermediate or Senior Phase: relevant subject passes at a good level are required.
– Proficiency in the language of instruction (usually English).
Important Steps to Take:
– Contact UMP’s Admissions Office directly at ad********@****ac.za or visit http://www.ump.ac.za for the most up-to-date and specific entry requirements, as these can change annually.
– Ask NWU for a certified academic transcript and a letter of good standing.
– Submit your application before the closing date (UMP usually opens applications between April and September for the following academic year).
Note: Admission is not guaranteed, and the final decision rests with UMP. Make sure to follow up with both institutions to ensure a smooth transfer process.
