Your grade
Your subjects & levels
Level 1–7 on the NSC scale (Level 4 = 50–59%).
Add at least three subjects with levels to see your matches.
What if I don't have the right subjects?
- Bridging / foundation years. Most universities run extended degree programmes that accept one level lower in Maths or Physical Sciences and add a year of support.
- TVET college route. NCV and N-programmes accept Grade 9–11 results and articulate into diplomas at universities of technology.
- Subject upgrades. You can rewrite matric subjects through the Second Chance Matric Programme or a private college — Maths and Physical Sciences are the two that unlock the most fields.
- Higher Certificates. A 1-year Higher Certificate needs only a National Senior Certificate pass and is a legitimate stepping stone into a diploma or degree.
Requirements are captured from institution prospectuses and professional bodies and re-checked each intake cycle. Always confirm on the institution's own site before choosing subjects.
