Rosebank College is a private higher education institution offering higher certificates, diplomas and degrees across business, information technology, humanities and finance. Entry requires a National Senior Certificate meeting the endorsement for the qualification type.
As a private higher education institution, the essential check before enrolling is registration and accreditation. Confirm that the institution is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training and that your specific qualification is registered on the National Qualifications Framework, and ask for the SAQA identification number.
Entry Requirements at a Glance
Applications are generally assessed on the following.
- A National Senior Certificate with the endorsement matching the qualification
- The points score the institution calculates by its own published method
- Subject requirements specific to the programme
- English or the language of instruction at the level required
- Available places, since popular programmes are oversubscribed
- Application within the published window
Academic and Minimum Admission Requirements
Higher certificates are the accessible entry point, requiring a National Senior Certificate. Diplomas require a diploma pass and degrees a bachelor pass, in line with the national minimums for those qualification types.
Private institutions commonly set requirements at or near those national minimums, which widens access. That is legitimate provided the qualification is accredited and registered on the National Qualifications Framework.
Subjects, APS and Qualification Requirements
Subject requirements are generally lighter than at public universities, and Mathematical Literacy is more widely accepted, particularly for business and humanities programmes.
Information technology programmes are more likely to require Mathematics, in line with the content. Confirm per programme.
Documents and Application Requirements
Applications normally require the following.
- A certified copy of your identity document
- Your National Senior Certificate or latest statement of results
- Proof of the application fee, where one is charged
- Your final matric results, used to confirm any conditional offer
- A SAQA evaluation certificate, if you hold a foreign qualification
Selection, Intake and Eligibility Considerations
Understand the fee structure and withdrawal terms fully before enrolling. Private institutions are not funded by NSFAS in the same way as public universities and TVET colleges.
Ask directly for the SAQA identification number and NQF level of your qualification and verify it on the SAQA register before paying a deposit. A provider unwilling or unable to supply it is a serious warning sign.
