I’m currently enrolled in a university course and have completed a year of study. If I decide to switch to a different course next year, do universities still look at my matric results, or do they primarily consider my credits and marks from the course I’ve been studying?

When considering a switch to a different course after having completed some university study, universities in South Africa generally focus on your university credits and grades from the course you have been enrolled in. However, your matric results may still be relevant depending on the specific entry requirements of the new course. Some programmes, especially those that are highly competitive or have specific subject prerequisites, might still review both your university and matric performance to assess your eligibility.
It’s advisable to check the specific entry requirements of the new course you wish to pursue. You can find detailed information about individual university requirements on their official websites or by contacting the admissions office directly.
