​SELECT YOUR PROGRAMME

​

  1. For Stellenbosch University you may indicate three programmes, because there are programmes with extensive selection processes and if you are not accepted to your first choice, you may still be accepted to your second or third choice. 

  2. However, you can only be admitted to one programme at a time. If you are initially admitted to your second choice, and you are then admitted to your first choice, admission to your second choice will lapse. If you would rather continue with your second (or third) choice, you must let us know by the end of September at info@sun.ac.za. The offer you decline will expire.

  3. All our programmes have selection criteria, but the following programmes all have extensive selection processes: All programmes in the faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Engineering and Law; BA (Visual Arts); BA (Drama); BA (Music); BMus; BA (Sport Science); BSc (Sport Science); BEd (GenEd); BCom (Actuarial Science); and BCom (International Business).If your first programme choice is one of the abovementioned programmes, we recommend a second choice. 

    1. 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 the list.
    2. Certain programmes such as BA, BSc, BCom or BEng have various fields of study. For example, in BA you can choose, amongst other, BA (Social Dynamics), BA (Law) or BA (Language and Culture). You must indicate the programme, as well as the field of study. If you do not indicate both the programme and the field of study, your application is incomplete.

  4. If you want to change your programme choice, send an email containing your request to info@sun.ac.za. Please remember that, after the closing date, you can be considered only if there are places available in the programme.

  5. To help you place your programme choice in the correct order, bear in mind the following:

Third choices will only be considered if the first and second choices are from the list of selection programmes above.
