The University of South Africa (Unisa) offers many certificates, degrees and diplomas at bachelor, master and doctoral levels.
Applications for Postgraduate qualifications such as Masters and Doctoral qualifications opened on 1 September and will be closing on 14 November 2022.
Applicants have been encouraged to submit their applications online, before the deadline, as no late applications will be accepted by Unisa. Applicants will need the following:
- A valid email address
- A valid cellphone number
- South African applicants will need an ID number; foreign applicants will need their passport number.
- Copy of your school qualifications (for example, a Senior Certificate)
- Application fee of R120 which should be paid once you receive your student number.
Postgraduate qualifications are offered in various faculties.
Everyone wanting to start a new qualification must apply for admission, including first-time Unisa applicants, Unisa students wanting to apply for a new qualification.
Students in their final year of a qualification wanting to start a master's or doctoral qualification will also need to apply, as well as previously registered master's and doctoral students who did not register for the 2022 academic year and now wish to continue with their studies.
You may only apply for one qualification at master's and doctoral level, therefore, it is important that you ensure that you meet the minimum admission requirements for your qualification of choice before applying for admission.
If you are applying for admission to a Graduate School of Business Leadership (GSBL) qualification, you would need to apply for a Unisa student number (unless you previously studied at Unisa towards a formal qualification) and complete the online application process.
All master's and doctoral applications and enquiries must be submitted online. For any master's or doctoral enquiries, please send an e-mail to [email protected].
GSBL students must direct their enquiries to the relevant e-mail address, which is: [email protected] / [email protected] or [email protected].
The verification of applications takes some time, so you may only receive feedback from Unisa six to eight weeks after the closing date.
