ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Access to the Advanced Diploma will be for students that had successfully completed one of the following:

• A diploma in Analytical Chemistry
• A BSc with chemistry as major
• An equivalent qualification with chemistry or analytical chemistry as a major
• In each case, the credit-weighted average mark for final year academic chemistry modules must be at least a 60%.

If the demand for the programme exceeds the allowed capacity, then a competitive entry will be used, based on academic merit. Where the first preference will be given to students with the highest marks from their final year academic chemistry modules.

Mature students or those that do not qualify for the programme based on their initial lower entrance requirements can apply if they had worked in the related industry for at least one year after their undergraduate diploma or BSc qualification, would be considered for acceptance onto the programmes by an interview process. The route of entry will be governed by the Nelson Mandela University policy on RPL.
