Additional Admission Requirements
Any appropriate Bachelor’s degree at NQF Level 7 or an appropriate Advanced Diploma at NQF 7. However, experienced people without the minimum academic requirement can gain admission through a rigorous process of recognition of prior learning (RPL). Credit transfer policy In accordance with CUT’s RPL policy (8.2d), a maximum of 39% credit transfers can be granted to a candidate because the modules are pitched on exit level of NQF level 8. The PGDip (Project Management) meets the entry requirements of a cognate Master’s degree for example, the CUT’s envisaged MPhil (Management science): Project Management and Master of Management Science in Entrepreneurial Management: Project Management. |
