Embarking on your journey at Milpark involves two key stages. First, if you haven’t been admitted to a qualification yet, you’ll need to apply for admission or pre-admission (if applicable) to your chosen qualification. Once admitted, you’ll proceed to the second stage of the process, which is to register for your modules for either the academic year, cycle, or semester. If your qualification spans more than one year or you can’t register for all your modules at once, you’ll have opportunities to register for further modules throughout the academic year depending on your mode of study, or when registration opens for the next academic year.

In exceptionally limited cases, admission to the qualification may also take place via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This is because RPL admissions are limited to 10% of the total intake and are, therefore, often oversubscribed. To apply via the RPL route, kindly contact the respective Programme Manager before applying online for admission on RPL grounds:
In addition to fulfilling the standard (Entry Route 1) selection criteria, RPL applicants must meet the following criteria:
Note: only once all Entry Route 1 places have been finalised will a limited number of RPL candidates be admitted onto the qualification.
International Students
International applicants whose first language is not English are required to provide proof of proficiency in English before admission to the qualification.
Further to the requirements for admission provided above, foreign nationals or South African nationals seeking to apply for admission onto the qualification based on a non-South African/foreign NQF Level 8 equivalent qualification or degree must obtain – and submit to Milpark – a Certificate of Equivalence from the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) (www.saqa.org.za).
