​SELECT YOUR PROGRAMME

​

  1. For Stellenbosch University you may select three programme choices. The reason you may indicate three programmes, is that there are programmes with extensive selection criteria and it is possible that you will not to be selected for your first choice, but you may still be selected for your second or third choice.

  2. Note however, that you can only be admitted to one programme at a time. If you are admitted to your second choice at first, and then admitted to your first choice, your second choice will lapse as soon as you are admitted to your first choice.

  3. If you would rather continue with your second (or third choice) offer, you must let us know before the end of September at info@sun.ac.za. The offer you decline will expire. After September, your request will only be considered if places are available.

  4. All our programmes have selection criteria, but the following programmes all have extensive selection processes: All programmes in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences; all programmes in the Faculty of Law; BA (Visual Arts); BA (Drama); BA (Music); BMus; BA Sport Science; BSc Sport Science; BEd (GenEd); all pogrammes in Engineering; BCom Actuarial Science and BCom (International Business).
    1. If your first programme choice is from the extensive selection programmes, we recommend a second choice. If both your first and second choices are from the list of selection programmes above, we recommend that you indicate a third choice which is not from this list.
    2. If you want to change your programme choice, send an e-mail containing your request to info@sun.ac.za. Please remember that, after the closing date, you can only be considered if there are places available in the programme.
