Step 2 – Be aware of closing dates

Step 3 – Understand the application process

  • Submitting an application form does not mean you are automatically accepted – each programme can only take a certain amount of students.
  • You can select a first, second and third programme choice. This is due to some programmes having a tough selection process.
  • It is possible that you might not make it into your preferred study programme so it is good to have a backup or two.
  • If the University informs you that you’ve made it into your second or third choice, it does not mean that you cannot be considered for your first choice.
  • However, be aware that you can only be admitted to one programme at a time.
  • If you are admitted for your second choice but are reconsidered for your first choice, then your second choice will lapse when you are admitted to your first choice.

  • With these programmes you must always indicate a second choice.
  • Only one programme within the Medical Faculty can be chosen.
  • If your second choice is also from the above list then you must indicate a third choice not from the list.
