The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) requires prospective IT and Computer Science students to meet specific academic criteria. Applicants must hold a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a degree endorsement, and they should achieve an appropriate Admission Point Score (APS), with Mathematics at level 5 being mandatory for programs like the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology[7].
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology at UKZN is a three-year, full-time program delivered in English, emphasizing foundational computing, programming, data management, information systems, and applied IT topics[2]. Applicants must submit their applications by the annual deadline, typically at the end of September, for programs starting in February of the following year[2].
For postgraduate study, such as the Information Systems and Technology program, students are generally required to complete a prescribed set of modules and a dissertation, with flexible full-time and part-time options available[1]. There are no specific GRE or GMAT requirements for these advanced degrees, but proficiency in English (for example, via IELTS) may be required for international applicants[3].
It is recommended that all applicants consult the latest UKZN Undergraduate Prospectus and individual program pages for up-to-date, program-specific admission requirements and to clarify any subject prerequisites[7].
