People wishing to pursue a new qualification must apply for admission, including first-time applicants to UNISA students looking for a change in qualification or specialization, and applicants in their final year of undergraduate studies who intend to pursue postgraduate studies.

The Honours and degrees offer undergraduates the chance to go into a specialized area within their chosen major. Students pursuing an Honours degree have already completed a standard Bachelor’s degree in their field. The Honours program expands the duration of the Bachelor’s degree, usually by one year.

On the other hand, Postgraduate Diplomas are specialized academic credentials attainable after completing a Bachelor’s degree. They enable students to gain advanced knowledge and skills in a particular field without the commitment of a full Master’s or PhD program.
