I have an NQF 6 but no Matric, would I be able to enroll in University?

I have an NQF Level 6 certificate from the University of Stellenbosch Business School, but I would really like to enroll at UJ for my BCom Acc. The problem is I have no matric.

I have done a lot of research on the topic of Mature Age Admission, seeing as I am 24. Most Universities accept mature students above the age of 23 who have obtained an NSC (Matric) without University Exemption, but I can not find anywhere where they state that an NQF 6 is acceptable. I would assume it would be accepted as an NSC is an NQF 4, and I have an NQF 6.

I have been in contact with UJ and they did say that it is an extremely rare situation. Currently a Faculty Officer for the Dept of Economics and Finances at UJ has referred my inquiry to a Selection Admin, but they seem to take forever to get back with an answer.

Has anyone one else ever found themselves in such a situation, or know of anyone who's been through similar? All feedback would be much appreciated!

Don't know about entrance but I hope you're ready for a hard slog @ UJ BCom Acc.

If I remember correctly you need NQF level 7

I'm passionate about post school education and always encourage people to study but if you do not have matric, then how do you think its possible for you to get a degree then? Go back to school and do it.

The mature age admission is only for students who bothered to get matric - I investigated that for a friend two years back who was adamant her son could study even though he dropped out of high school in Grade 10.


So your options:
* Go back to school and do your matric
* Ask for 10000 likes on Facebook so that they will accept you
* Go and actually talk to the university yourself, they might just ask you to do bridging courses and write an entrance exam.
