VUT does not appear to offer a current nursing programme. Its Health Sciences page lists the Bachelor of Nursing (R425) as a phased-out qualification, with no student allowed to continue the programme beyond 2023, and the 2026 faculty prospectus shows the same last date of achievement, 31 December 2023.
The 2027 Undergraduate Minimum Admission Requirements document does not list a nursing programme either. Its Health Sciences entries include the Bachelor of Health Sciences: Medical Laboratory Science. Contact VUT before applying if you were told nursing is available.
Entry Requirements at a Glance
Because no nursing programme is listed for 2027, there are no VUT nursing entry requirements to quote. What does apply to any VUT undergraduate application:
- The R110 application fee, paid on the portal before you can submit
- A certified copy of your ID (or passport) and of your Grade 11 or latest Grade 12 report
- Subject and symbol requirements for the specific programme you choose
Academic and Minimum Admission Requirements
The Bachelor of Nursing (R425) is on VUT’s phased-out list, so there is no current intake to meet requirements for. If you want to study nursing, ask VUT directly whether any nursing qualification is available, and check the institution you apply to against the South African Nursing Council’s registration requirements.
Subjects, APS and Qualification Requirements
No VUT nursing subject or APS requirements are published for 2027. For programmes VUT does list, minimum subjects and symbols are set programme by programme in the 2027 requirements document, and they do not guarantee acceptance.
Documents and Application Requirements
For VUT programmes in general, you submit a certified copy of your ID (or passport) and your Grade 11 or latest Grade 12 report, and pay the R110 fee on the portal. See the VUT how-to-apply page for the steps. For nursing-specific documents such as health screening or police clearance, ask VUT, as none are published for a current nursing programme.
Selection, Intake and Eligibility Considerations
VUT registration is first-come, first-served and places are limited per programme. If you are set on nursing, compare institutions that currently list a nursing programme and confirm accreditation and registration categories with the South African Nursing Council before you enrol.
