Prospective students are confronted with a wide variety of programme and career options - undoubtedly an advantage, also a significant challenge. Stellenbosch University prioritises assistance to prospective students in facilitating realistic programme and career choices. It is for this reason that we offer a professional career advice service.
Who can make use of this service?
This service is available to grade 11 and 12 learners.
What does the service entail?
We offer appointments at our offices in Stellenbosch as well as online assessments.
An assessment at our offices includes a 4 hour psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interests, and a 1 hour individual feedback session, as well as a report of the results and recommendations to be emailed to you within 2 weeks of the assessment.
Testing starts at 08:30 until 12:30, and feedback is on the same day (14:00 – 15:00 / 15:15 – 16:15) in the afternoon. Recommendations are made based on the client's unique profile and can therefore include programmes at a variety of higher education institutions. This opportunity is offered to all prospective students and not only to those who wish to study at Stellenbosch University.
The process for an online assessment is the same as for an office appointment, except that our platform is MS Teams and we use the online versions of all the psychometric instruments. (Kindly note that most of the psychometric instruments are currently available in English only).
Cost of the service
The cost is R 2350-00 per client (Monday to Friday)/ R 2900-00 per client (Saturday), payable within 48 hours after booking. This fee applies to both office and online assessments
