A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. For admission to the four-year BSc in Physiotherapy degree programme an applicant
shall hold the National Senior Certificate (NSC), endorsed by Umalusi, or an equivalent
qualification with an aggregate of at least 60% (level 5) (excluding Life Orientation) and
with at least 60% (level 5) for Mathematics, and 50% (level 4) Physical Sciences.
Because of the outstanding merit of most applicants, meeting the minimum admission
requirements is by no means a guarantee for successful selection.
3. Since approximately 50% of the selected applicants do not accept the selection offer,
more applicants are selected initially and eventually reach the goal of 55 students in
total.
4. During the selection process, an effort is made to ensure that the gender profile of the
group of selected applicants is an accurate reflection of the gender profile of
applicants who satisfy the minimum admission requirements.
5. The annual revision of the number of students admitted to the programme depends on:
5.1 Training capacity in terms of human resources, infrastructure, and the clinical
training platform
5.2 Regional and national needs
5.3 Enrolment planning of the University.
5.4 Number of students accredited per annum as per regulatory body.
6. Only applicants who have indicated BSc in Physiotherapy as one of the choices on
their application will be considered, before the relevant application closing date, will
be considered for selection into the programme.
7. Preference will be given to South African citizens, applicants with proof of permanent
residency status or those with proof of refugee status when applicants are considered
1
for selection.
8. Candidates cannot defer their selection from one year to another. If an applicant is
successful, but does not take up their selection offer, such an applicant will normally
have to apply anew to be considered for selection in future.
B1. Current learners (grade 12) and applicants who have completed school (p. 2 – 5);
B2. Registered students (p. 5 – 6).
B3. Applicants with tertiary qualifications and/or work experience (p. 6 – 7).
1.1 Selection of this group takes place at the first selection opportunity during the second
semester of the preceding year.
1.2 Applicants who matriculated longer than three years ago, cannot be considered within
this category and it is recommended that they prepare themselves to be considered
within category B2 or B3. Please note that selection within these categories cannot be
guaranteed.
1.2.1 Applicants who were registered in another formal higher education programme
but discontinued their studies before the application and/or selection period
(April – December) and who did not participate in any formal marks/results
generating assessments that were loaded onto the academic transcript can be
considered in category B1;
1.2.2 Applicants registered for a formal higher education programme during the
application and/or selection period must be considered in category B2
“registered university students”; and
1.3 Applicants within this category are selected based academic merit (Academic
performance at school)
1.3.1 In the case of Grade 12 learners, the average academic percentage obtained in
the final Grade 11 year-end assessment is used (excluding Life Orientation).
1.3.2 In the case of applicants who have completed school, the average academic
percentage obtained in the National Senior Certificate (NSC) Examination or
equivalent is used (excluding Life Orientation).
1.4 All applicants are then ranked according to their academic merit, which forms the
basis for the selection of these students.
1.5 The National Benchmark Test (NBT) will only be used to determine the admission of
2
applicants from the School of Tomorrow. The average percentage obtained in the
tests will be used.
1.6.1 The top 33 ranked applicants are selected in priority sequence according to
academic merit, with preference given to SA citizens or permanent residents or
persons with refugee status, irrespective of any other considerations.
1.6.2 Then all Black African, Coloured, Indian and Asian applicants are selected in
priority sequence according to the Academic merit ranking until all 110
applicants have been selected.
1.6.4 Should two or more applicants with the same Academic merit vie for one
position, the applicant/s with a higher SES factor will be prioritized for selection.
1.6.5 If it is still not possible to distinguish between two or more applicants after
considering the SES factor, such applicants may be requested to submit a
motivational letter and will be interviewed by a selection panel to determine
selection or not.
1.6.6 Applicants who are conditionally selected for more than one programme must
formally confirm their acceptance of one offer.
1.6.6.1 The selection offers, for applicants who do not accept their conditional
selection offer (by the determined date communicated in the conditional
offer letter), will expire.
1.6.6.2 Conditional offers that have been declined or expired (for whatever
reason) can only be reissued if there are vacancies in the programme.
1.6.7 Applicants who have applied with their final National Senior Certificate marks (or
equivalent) and who have received a conditional offer of selection, will receive
a final selection offer to the programme in the application year. Such applicants
will be required to accept the final selection offer.
1.6.7.1 The selection offers, of applicants who do not accept their final selection
offer (by the determined date communicated in the final offer letter), will
expire.
1.6.7.2 Final offers that have been declined or expired (for whatever reason) can
only be reissued if there are vacancies in the programme.
1.6.8 When all the available places are filled, category B1 applicants who have not
received an offer of admission and who meet the minimum admission
requirements and any other requirement/s outlined in the Selection Guidelines,
will be contacted by the Undergraduate Selection and Admissions office in the
Centre for Academic Administration (Tygerberg Campus) via the SUNStudent
application portal to submit a request to place themselves on the Physiotherapy
waiting list.
3
1.6.8.1 Applicants may only opt-in to the waiting list if they have applied to the
Physiotherapy programme before 31 July and if they meet the minimum
admission requirements of the programme and any other requirement/s
outlined in the Selection Guidelines.
1.6.8.2 Waitlisted applicants will be ranked according to the academic merit
ranking.
1.6.8.3 Applicants who do not request to place themselves on the waiting list (by
the determined date communicated in the waiting list notification), will be
marked as unsuccessful.
1.6.8.4 Applicants that have failed to respond to the waiting list notification, can
submit requests to place themselves on the waiting list after the waiting
list closing date. Such applicants will be placed on the waiting list based
on the academic merit ranking and only if there are vacancies in the
programme. These applicants must contact the Undergraduate
Selection and Admissions office at tygselections@sun.ac.za before the
end of November of the application year.
1.6.9 Cancellations are replaced from the waiting list in a further conditional selection
round/s in the application year, based on Academic merit ranking while
maintaining the demographic, SES and gender profile of the conditionally
selected first-year intake, if places are available in the programme.
1.6.10 Final offers are made to conditionally selected applicants, in January of the
following year or as soon as the final National Senior Certificate marks (or
equivalent) become available and provided that they meet the minimum
admission requirements of the programme with their final National Senior
Certificate marks and any other requirement/s outlined in the Selection
Guidelines.
1.6.10.1 The selection offers of applicants who no longer meet the minimum
admission requirements and any other requirements as outlined in these

expire.
1.6.10.3 Final offers that have been declined or expired (for whatever reason) can
only be reissued if there are vacancies in the programme.
1.6.11 In January of the following year or as soon as the final National Senior Certificate
marks (or equivalent) become available, the final Grade 12 average, (excluding
Life Orientation) is used to determine a new Academic merit ranking on the
waiting list.
1.6.11.1 Only applicants that have submitted a complete application to the
programme in the application year, meet the programme’s minimum
admission requirements and any other requirement/s outlined in the
Selection Guidelines are eligible for the new waiting list and for
reconsideration.
1.6.11.2 Applicants that did not meet the minimum admission requirements
and/or any other requirements as outlined in the guidelines but who
have since improved their matric results and/or adhere any other
requirements as outlined in the guidelines can submit a request to place
themselves on the waiting list after the release of the final National Senior
Certificate marks (or equivalent). Such applicants will be placed on the
waiting list based on the academic merit ranking and only if there are
vacancies in the programme. These applicants must contact the
Undergraduate Selection and Admissions office on
tygselections@sun.ac.za before the end of January of the intake year to
submit a late request to place themselves on the waiting list.
4
1.6.12 Programme vacancies are filled from the new waiting list, based on Academic
merit ranking while maintaining the demographic, SES and gender profile of the
first-year intake if places are available in the programme.
1.6.13 The selection process will be concluded for the 2025-intake year two weeks
after the academic year commences and/or all programme places are filled.
All unplaced applicants will then be considered unsuccessful for the 2025-
intake year.
2.1 Approximately 15% of the places are filled from this group AND the category of
applicants with tertiary qualifications and/or work experience (see B.3 below).
2.2 Places are reserved for registered university students, with preference given to SA
citizens, permanent residents, or refugees and who pursue relevant fields of study
(preferably related to the natural sciences).
2.3 The following groupings of registered students are collectively considered in this
category:
2.3.1 Undergraduate Bachelor’s students (in a 3- or 4-year Bachelor’s degree) (see 2.4
and 2.5 for exceptions)
2.3.2 Honours students
2.3.3 Final year Master’s students
2.3.4 Doctoral students completing their doctoral studies in the year in which they
have applied
No pre-determined number exists for any of the above-mentioned groupings.
2.4 Registered students who follow another programme in Health Sciences at the SU will
not be considered for selection.
2.5 Registered students who follow another programme in Health Sciences at another
university will not be considered for selection.
2.6 Registered students’ applications from other institutions close on 31 July via the
SUNStudent application system. The onus resides with the applicant to ensure that
the results reach the Selections Office no later than 1 December of the year of
application.
2.7 Registered SU students’ applications close on 31 July via the SUNStudent application
system and are considered in early December, after the final results have become
available.
2.7.1 Students who do not utilise the A2 assessment opportunity or the first
submission opportunity for theses or research assignments cannot be
considered for selection as their final results will not be available to the selection
panel in time for the selection meeting in December.
5
2.9.1 Academic merit: The average academic performance of registered students is
determined by calculating the weighted average performance of all the years of
study together.
2.10 The following additional guidelines also apply to this category of applicants:
2.10.1 Applications from current students who will complete their degree in the
relevant year, or other students who pass all their subjects over the specific
number of years, will be considered.
2.10.2 In the case of students who complete the degree in the year concerned,
preference will be given to students who complete the degree in the prescribed
time, and with a weighted average of at least 60% for the duration of the
programme. In the case of other students, preference will be given to students
who pass all their subjects with a weighted average of at least 60% over the
specific number of years.
2.10.3 In the case of post graduate students, undergraduate performance is also considered.
Preference will be given to students who had completed previous degrees with a
weighted average of at least 60% and who obtain at least 60% for the postgraduate
qualification enrolled for at the time of application and who have included a
motivational letter with their application.
2.11 Undergraduate students are ranked in order of priority based on the preceding
considerations (2.10.1-2.10.2), and this serves as point of departure for the selection
process.
2.12 For undergraduate students in both categories of first- and final year students, 35% of
the allocated group size (according to 2.3) will be selected based on academic merit.
For the remaining 65% of the group, the selection committee may select Black African,
Coloured, Indian and Asian applicants who meet the minimum selection criteria as set
out in 2.10.1 and 2.10.2.
2.13 Postgraduate applicants within this category are ranked in order of priority based on
the preceding considerations in 2.10.3, after which a shortlist of meritorious applicants
is compiled. A final selection is made after applicants on the shortlist have been further
assessed by means of a personal interview. Invitation to an interview is by no means a
guarantee that an applicant will be selected.
2.14 In the case of registered undergraduate students, when all the available places are
filled, qualifying applicants are placed on a waiting list according to academic merit.
Cancellations are filled from the waiting list according to merit, if places are available
in the programme.
2.15 Students who are selected for BSc in Physiotherapy I could be exempted from
corresponding modules which they have passed, according to the faculty’s
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Accumulation and Transfer (CAT)
Guidelines, but all the modules from which they are not exempted must be passed for
them to be promoted to Physiotherapy II the following year.
3.1. Approximately 15% of the places are filled from this group AND the category of
registered university students (see B.2 above).
3.2. Selection of this group of applicants takes place at the first selection opportunity
during the second semester of the preceding year.
6
3.3. These places will be reserved for persons with tertiary qualifications and/or work
experience and who are not enrolled for a further qualification at the time of
application, with preference given to SA citizens, permanent residents or refugees.
3.4. Candidates who are registered for single modules at tertiary level for non-degree
purposes at the time of application, may also be considered within this category.
3.5. Preference will be given to applicants who have already obtained a tertiary
qualification (NQF level 7 and above) in the normal time with a weighted average of
60% or more and who have included a motivational letter with the application.
3.6. These applicants are selected according to academic merit, the demographic profile
of the first- year intake and a number of other considerations (see 3.4 above). A shortlist
of meritorious applicants is then compiled after the consideration of all applications
within this category.
3.7. A final selection is made after applicants on the shortlist have been further assessed by
means of a personal interview.
2. Applicants with official refugee status must be considered according to law. Only SA
citizens qualify for institutional bursaries and loans, as well as NSFAS funding. Applicants
with refugee status therefore need to keep their financial position in mind when taking
up a place in the BSc in Physiotherapy programme.
2. Prospective students from the School of Tomorrow (SOT) must meet the below NBT
requirements for consideration in addition to meeting the minimum admission requirements
(to obtain university exemption from the South African Matriculation Board):
AL QL MAT
NBT
Academic Literacy Quantitative Mathematics
Literacy
7
NBT minimum
65% 66% 34%
requirement: SOT
4. All SOT applicants in category B1 must write the NBT before the end of 2024 by
registering (at least 3 weeks before the test date) at www.nbt.ac.za to secure a place at
the relevant venue.
5. Registered university students (B2) and applicants with tertiary qualifications and/or
work experience (B3) are exempted from this requirement.
1.2 The closing date for submitting all applications for categories B1, B2 and B3 is 31 July
of the year that precedes registration.
2. PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS
2.1 A complete database of each applicant is compiled based on the information captured
by the applicant on the online application form. At the same time, the current learners’
or applicants who have completed schools’ (B1) marks are processed electronically.
2.2 The school results are captured and processed electronically to determine the
academic merit (). (This academic merit is used to determine an applicant’s position on
the merit list.)
2.3 The academic records of registered students (B2) as well as those of graduates (B3), are
processed manually and an average percentage is calculated. These students are then
considered based on academic performance, although other factors may also be taken
into consideration in the case of postgraduate students and graduates (see sections B2
and B3 above).
3. SELECTION OPPORTUNITIES
3.1 The first selection takes place during the second semester of the preceding year. On
this occasion, current learners and applicants who have completed school (B1), as well as
applicants with work experience and/or tertiary qualifications (B3) are considered.
Selection of the latter applicants (who have been placed on a short list) is only finalised
after interviews with members of the Selection Panel have taken place (see B3.6)
3.2 The applications of registered students (B2) are only considered after their final
university results have become available in December.
3.3 SciMathUS students are considered in January in the same category of current learners
8
and applicants who have completed school (B1) (on the basis of their new academic
merit).
3.4 Further selection of unplaced applicants’ takes place continuously, based on the
Academic merit (B1) and if they were waitlisted (B2 and B3) depending on cancellations
received from the various sub-categories and available places in the programme.
3.5 Selection is finalised two weeks after the commencement of the first semester classes
for BSc in Physiotherapy I or as soon as all vacancies have been filled.
4.1 After the selection meetings, applicants are informed electronically of the selection
results.
4.2 All applicants must accept or decline their selection offer. Failure to respond by the
required response date will render the offer as expired. Re-issuing of offers will only be
made if there are still places available in the programme. The follow stipulations apply
to the relevant selection categories:
4.2.1 Category B1 Applicants selected in the first selection round in September, must
respond to their offer by 30 September. Applicants selected thereafter from the
waiting list will have 3-days from the issuing of the selection letters, stating
whether they accept the offer or not.
4.2.3 Category B3 Applicants selected in the first selection round in October, will
have 3-days from the issuing of the selection letters, stating whether they
accept the offer or not.
4.2.4 Applicants selected in the final selection round in January of the registration
year will have 2-days from the issuing of the selection letters, stating whether
they accept the offer or not.
4.3 The places of applicants who do not respond to the offer and who cannot be

A. ALGEMENE INLIGTING
1. Vir toelating tot die vierjarige BSc in Fisioterapie-graadprogram moet ʼn aansoeker in
besit wees van die Nasionale Senior Sertifikaat (NSS), soos gesertifiseer deur Umalusi,
of ʼn gelykwaardige kwalifikasie, met ʼn gemiddeld van 60% (vlak 5) (Lewensoriëntering
uitgesluit) en met minstens 60% (vlak 5) in Wiskunde, sowel as 50% (vlak 4) in Fisiese
Wetenskappe.
2. Aansoekers wat 'n internasionale kurrikulum voltooi, kan onderhewig wees aan
addisionele vereistes. Gedetailleerde inligting oor Matrikulasievrystelling is op die
www.sun.ac.za/international webwerf beskikbaar.
Op grond van die hoogstaande meriete van die meeste aansoekers, is voldoening
aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes geensins ’n waarborg van suksesvolle keuring
nie.
3. Aangesien ongeveer 50% van die gekeurde aansoekers nie die keuringsaanbod aanvaar
nie, word daar aanvanklik meer aansoekers gekeur ten einde uiteindelik die mikpunt
van 55 studente in totaal te bereik.
4. Gedurende die keuringsproses word dit daarna gestreef dat die geslagsprofiel van die
groep gekeurde kandidate ’n weerspieëling sal wees van die geslagsprofiel van
aansoekers wat aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes voldoen.
5. Die jaarlikse hersiening van die getal studente toegelaat tot die program is op grond van:
6. Slegs aansoeke van aansoekers wat BSc in Fisioterapie as ʼn keuse op hul aansoek stel,
sal oorweeg word.
7. Voorkeur sal aan Suid-Afrikaanse burgers, aansoekers met bewys van permanente
verblyfstatus of aansoekers met bewys van vlugtelingstatus gegee word wanneer
aansoekers vir keuring oorweeg word.
8. Kandidate kan nie hul keuring uitstel van een jaar na ʼn volgende nie. Indien ʼn aansoeker
dus suksesvol is en nie hulle keuring aanvaar nie, moet sodanige aansoeker
normaalweg weer van vooraf aansoek doen om oorweeg te word vir keuring in die
toekoms.
1.1 Keuring van hierdie groep vind plaas tydens die eerste keuringsgeleentheid
gedurende die tweede semester van die voorafgaande jaar.
1.2 Aansoekers wat langer as drie jaar gelede gematrikuleer het, kan nie binne hierdie
kategorie oorweeg word nie en word aangeraai om eers hulself voor te berei vir
oorweging in kategorie B2 of B3. Let egter daarop dat keuring in hierdie kategorie
steeds nie gewaarborg kan word nie.
1.2.2 Aansoekers wat gedurende die aansoek- en/of keuringstydperk vir 'n formele
hoëronderwysprogram geregistreer is, moet in kategorie B2 “geregistreerde
universiteitstudente” oorweeg word; en
1.3 Aansoekers in hierdie kategorie word soos volg op grond van basis van 'n akademiese
meriete oorweeg:
1.3.1 In die geval van huidige leerders (Graad 12) word die gemiddelde akademiese
persentasie behaal in die Graad 11-eindeksamen (Lewensoriëntering uitgesluit)
12
gebruik.
1.3.2 In die geval van gematrikuleerdes word die gemiddelde akademiese persentasie
behaal in die Nasionale Senior Sertifikaat (NSS)-eksamen (Lewensoriëntering
uitgesluit) of ekwivalent gebruik.
1.4 Alle aansoekers word dan op grond van hul akademiese meriete op ʼn merietelys
geranglys, wat die basis vorm vir die keuring van hierdie studente.
1.5 Die Nasionale Normtoets (NNT) word slegs gebruik om die toelating van aansoekers
tot die School of Tomorrow (SOT) te bepaal. Die gemiddelde persentasie wat in die
toetse beaal is, sal gebruik word.
1.6.1 Die top 33 aansoekers word in volgorde volgens die akademiese meriete
gekeur, met voorkeur aan aansoekers met SA burgerskap of permanente
verblyfstatus of vlugtelingstatus, ongeag ras of enige ander oorwegings.
1.6.2 Daarna word swart Afrikaan-, bruin, Indiër- en Asiatiese aansoekers uit al die
provinsies gekeur mits hul voldoen aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes en
totdat 110 aansoekers gekeur is.
1.6.3 Ongeveer 15% van plekke sal in orde van meriete deur aansoekers met ‘n sosio-
ekonomiese status (SES)-faktor van 6 of hoër gevul word.
1.6.4 Sou twee of meer aansoekers met dieselfde akademiese meriete vir een plek
meeding, sal die aansoeker/s met 'n hoër SES-faktor voorkeur geniet vir
keuring.
1.6.5 As dit na die oorweging van die SES-faktor nog nie moontlik is om tussen twee
of meer aansoekers te onderskei nie, kan sodanige aansoekers 'n motiveringsbrief
indien en sal hulle na onderhoudvoering deur 'n keuringspaneel gekeur word of
nie.
1.6.6 Aansoekers wat voorwaardelik vir meer as een program gekeur word, moet
formeel hul aanvaarding van een aanbod bevestig.
1.6.6.1 Die keuringsaanbiedinge vir aansoekers wat nie hul voorwaardelike
keuringsaanbod aanvaar nie (teen die vasgestelde datum wat in die
voorwaardelike aanbodbrief gekommunikeer word), sal verval.
1.6.6.2 Voorwaardelike aanbiedinge wat afgekeur of verval het (om watter rede
ook al) kan slegs heruitgereik word indien daar plekke in die program
beskikbaar is.
1.6.7 Aansoekers wat aansoek gedoen het met hul finale Nasionale Senior Sertifikaat-
punte (of ekwivalent) en wat 'n voorwaardelike keuringsaanbod ontvang het, sal
13
'n finale keuringsaanbod vir die program in die aansoekjaar ontvang. Daar sal van
sulke aansoekers verwag word om die finale keuringsaanbod te aanvaar.
1.6.7.1 Die keuringsaanbiedinge van aansoekers wat nie hul finale
keuringsaanbod aanvaar nie (teen die vasgestelde datum wat in die
finale aanbodbrief gekommunikeer word), sal verval.
1.6.7.2 Finale aanbiedinge wat afgekeur of verval het (om watter rede ook al)
kan slegs heruitgereik word indien daar plekke in die program
beskikbaar is.
1.6.8 Wanneer al die beskikbare plekke gevul is, sal kategorie B1-aansoekers wat nie
'n aanbod van toelating ontvang het nie en wat voldoen aan die minimum
toelatingsvereistes en enige ander vereiste/s uiteengesit in die Keuringsriglyne)
deur die Voorgraadse Keurings- en Toelatingskantoor gekontak word. in die
Sentrum vir Akademiese Administrasie (Tygerbergkampus) via die SUNStudent-
aansoekportaal om 'n versoek in te dien om hulself op die Fisioterapie-waglys te

1.6.8.1 Aansoekers mag hulself slegs op die waglys plaas indien hulle voor 31
Julie vir die Fisioterapie-program aansoek gedoen het en indien hulle
voldoen aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes van die program en enige
ander vereiste/s uiteengesit in die Keuringsriglyne.
1.6.8.2 Waglys-aansoekers sal volgens die akademiese meriete-rangorde
gerangskik word.
1.6.8.3 Aansoekers wat nie versoek om hulself op die waglys te plaas nie (teen
die vasgestelde datum wat in die waglyskennisgewing gekommunikeer
word), sal as onsuksesvol gemerk word.
1.6.8.4 Aansoekers wat versuim het om op die waglyskennisgewing te reageer,
kan ‘n versoek indien om hulself op die waglys te plaas na die
waglyssluitingsdatum. Sodanige aansoekers sal op die waglys geplaas
word op grond van die akademiese meriete-rangorde en slegs indien
daar plekke in die program beskikbaar is. Hierdie aansoekers moet voor
die einde van November van die aansoekjaar die Voorgraadse Keurings-
en Toelatingskantoor by tygselections@sun.ac.za kontak.
1.6.9 Kansellasies word van die waglys vervang in 'n verdere voorwaardelike
keuringsrondte/s in die aansoekjaar, gebaseer op Akademiese meriete-rangorde
met behoud van die demografiese, SES en geslagsprofiel van die voorwaardelik
geselekteerde eerstejaar-inname, indien plekke beskikbaar is in die program.
1.6.11 In Januarie van die daaropvolgende jaar of sodra die finale Nasionale Senior
Sertifikaat-punte (of ekwivalent) beskikbaar word, word die finale graad 12-
gemiddeld (Lewensoriëntering uitgesluit) gebruik om 'n nuwe Akademiese
14
meriete-ranglys op die waglys te bepaal.
1.6.11.1 Slegs aansoekers wat 'n volledige aansoek by die program in die
aansoekjaar ingedien het, voldoen aan die program se minimum
toelatingsvereistes en enige ander vereiste/s wat in die Keuringsriglyne
uiteengesit word, kwalifiseer vir die nuwe waglys en vir heroorweging.

die 2025- innamejaar.
2. INGESKREWE UNIVERSITEIT-STUDENTE
2.1 Ongeveer 15% van die plekke word gevul vanuit hierdie groep EN die kategorie van
aansoekers met naskoolse kwalifikasies en / of beroepservaring (sien B.3 hieronder).
2.2 Plekke word gereserveer vir ingeskrewe universiteit studente met voorkeur aan
aansoekers met SA burgerskap of permanente verblyfstatus of vlugtelingstatus en wat
toepaslike studierigtings (by voorkeur natuurwetenskappe-verwant) volg.
2.3 Die volgende groeperings van ingeskrewe studente word gesamentlik in hierdie
kategorie oorweeg:
2.3.1 Voorgraadse Baccalaureus studente (in ‘n 3/4-jaar Baccalaureus graad) (sien
uitsondering by 2.4 en 2.5)
2.3.2 Honneursstudente
2.3.3 Finalejaar Magisterstudente
2.3.4 Doktorale studente wat hul doktorale studie voltooi gedurende die jaar waarin
hulle aansoek doen
Daar is geen vooraf bepaalde getal vir enige van bogenoemde groeperings nie.
2.6 Aansoeke van geregistreerde studente van ander instansies sluit op 31 Julie op die
SUNStudent platform. Die onus berus op die aansoeker om te verseker dat die
akademiese uitslae van die aansoeker die Keuringskantoor nie later as 1 Desember
15
bereik nie deur dit te e-pos na tygselections@sun.ac.za.
2.8 Studente wat aansoek doen vir oorplasing van ʼn Fisioterapie-program aan ʼn ander
universiteit na die BSc in Fisioterapie aan die US, sal deur die keuringspaneel oorweeg
word. Sodanige oorplasing sal egter slegs by hoë uitsondering op grond van
buitengewone oorwegings toegestaan kan word volgens die fakulteit se
oorplasingsriglyne wat hier beskikbaar is.
2.10 Vir hierdie kategorie van aansoekers sal die volgende bykomende riglyne ook geld:
2.10.1 Aansoeke van huidige studente wat hul graad in die betrokke jaar voltooi, of
ander studente (meestal BSc-studente), wat al hul vakke oor die aantal
studiejare slaag, sal oorweeg word.
2.10.2 In die geval van voorgraadse studente wat die graad in die betrokke jaar voltooi,
sal voorkeur verleen word aan studente wat die graad in die voorgeskrewe tyd
voltooi, geen sak-opmerking op die rekord verskyn nie, en met ʼn geweegde
gemiddelde persentasie van minstens 60% oor die duur van die program. In die
geval van ander studente sal voorkeur verleen word aan studente wat alle vakke
slaag met ʼn geweegde gemiddelde van minstens 60% oor die aantal studiejare.
2.10.3 In die geval van nagraadse ingeskrewe studente word voorgraadse prestasie
ook in oorweging geneem. Voorkeur sal gegee word aan studente wat vorige
grade met ʼn gemiddeld van minstens 60% geslaag het, en wat minstens 60%
verwerf vir die nagraadse kwalifikasie waarvoor hulle by aansoek geregistreer
is en wie ’n motiveringsbrief by hul aansoek insluit.
2.12 Vir voorgraadse studente in beide kategorieë eerste- en finalejaarstudente sal 35% van
die toegekende groepsgrootte (volgens 2.3) op grond van akademiese meriete gekeur
word. Vir die oorblywende 65% van die groep kan die keurkomitee swart Afrikaan-,
bruin, Indiër- en Asiatiese aansoekers keur wat voldoen aan die minimum
keuringskriteria soos uiteengesit in
2.10.1 en 2.10.2.
2.14 In die geval van ingeskrewe voorgraadse studente, wanneer al die beskikbare plekke
gevul is, word aansoekers wat kwalifiseer op die waglys geplaas in volgorde van
akademiese meriete. Kansellasies kan in merietevolgorde van die waglys aangevul
word, mits daar plek is in die program.
2.15 Studente wat gekeur word vir BSc in Fisioterapie I sou vrygestel kon word van
ooreenstemmende modules wat hul geslaag het, volgens die fakulteit se Erkenning van
Vorige Leer (EVL) en Kredietakkumulasie en Oordrag (RTT) Riglyne, maar sal al die
oorblywende modules vir Fisioterapie I moet slaag ten einde na Fisioterapie II in die
daaropvolgende jaar te kan promoveer.
3.1 Ongeveer 15% van die plekke word gevul vanuit hierdie groep EN die kategorie van
huidige geregistreerde Universiteit studente (sien B.2 hierbo).
3.2 Keuring van hierdie groep aansoekers vind tydens die eerste keuringsgeleentheid
gedurende die tweede semester van die voorafgaande jaar plaas.
3.3 Hierdie plekke sal gereserveer word vir persone met naskoolse kwalifikasies en/of
beroepservaring, en wat nie by aansoek vir enige verdere kwalifikasies ingeskryf is nie,
met voorkeur aan aansoekers met SA burgerskap of permanente verblyfstatus of
vlugtelingstatus. Kandidate wat by aansoek geregistreer is vir enkele losstaande
modules op tersiêre vlak vir nie-graaddoeleindes, sal ook in hierdie kategorie oorweeg
kan word.
3.4 Voorkeur sal gegee word aan aansoekers wat reeds voorheen ’n tersiêre kwalifikasie
of kwalifikasie (NQF vlak 7 en hoër) in die normale tyd, en met ’n geweegde gemiddelde
van 60% of hoër geslaag het, en ʼn motiveringsbrief by hul aansoek insluit.
3.5 Hierdie aansoekers word oorweeg op grond van akademiese meriete, die demografiese
profiel van die eerstejaarsinname sowel asook enkele ander oorwegings (sien 3.4). ’n
Kortlys van verdienstelike aansoekers word na oorweging van alle aansoeke in hierdie
kategorie saamgestel.
3.6 Aansoekers op die kortlys sal na persoonlike onderhoudvoering finaal gekeur word.
3.7 Uitnodiging na ’n onderhoud dien geensins as waarborg dat ’n aansoeker wel gekeur
sal word nie.

D. AANSOEKERS WAT NIE SUID-AFRIKAANSE BURGERS IS
NIE, NIE ‘N PERMANENTE VERBLYFPERMIT OF
VLUGTELINGSTATUS VIR SUID-AFRIKA HET NIE
1. Sodanige aansoekers sal op meriete oorweeg word.
2. Die uitsondering is vir aansoekers van School of Tomorrow (SOT) wat benewens die
voldoening aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes, moet SOT-aansoekers ook aan die
onderstaande NNT-vereistes vir toelating voldoen (ten einde universiteitsvrystelling
van die Suid-Afrikaanse Matrikulasieraad te verwerf):
4. SOT aansoekers in kategorie B1 moét die NNT voor die einde van 2024 aflê en moet
betyds (minstens 3 weke voor die toetsdatum) by www.nbt.ac.za vir die toetse
registreer ten einde ‘n plek in die betrokke toetssentrum te verseker.
1.2 Die sluitingsdatum vir die indiening van alle kategorie B1, B2 en B3 aansoeke is 31 Julie
van die jaar wat registrasie voorafgaan.
2.1 ‘ n Volledige databasis van elke aansoeker word saamgestel uit die inligting wat
18
deur die aansoeker op die aanlyn-aansoekvorm ingevoer is. Die punte van die huidige
leerders en gematrikuleerdes (B1) word terselfdertyd rekenaarmatig verwerk.
2.2 Die skoolresultate word elektronies vasgelê en verwerk om die akademiese meriete te
bepaal wat gebruik word om 'n aansoeker se posisie op die merietelys te bepaal.
2.3 Die akademiese rekords van ingeskrewe studente (B2) sowel as dié van
gegradueerdes (B3), word per hand verwerk en ʼn gemiddelde persentasie word
bereken. Hierdie studente word dan op grond van akademiese prestasie oorweeg,
alhoewel ander faktore wel in die geval van nagraadse studente en gegradueerdes in
berekening gebring mag word (sien afdelings B2 en B3 hierbo).
2.4 Daar word van aansoekers verwag om 'n onderneming te voorsien dat alle inligting wat
verskaf word, akkuraat is. In die geval dat dit ontdek word dat 'n gekeurde aansoeker
vals inligting verskaf het of opsetlik of deur nalatigheid inligting teruggehou het, kan
hulle hul keuring verbeur.
3. KEURINGSGELEENTHEDE
3.1 Die eerste keuring vind in die tweede semester van die voorafgaande jaar plaas. By
hierdie geleentheid word hoofsaaklik die huidige leerders en gematrikuleerdes (B1) en
aansoekers met naskoolse kwalifikasies en/of beroepservaring (B3) oorweeg. Die
keuring van laasgenoemde aansoekers (wat op ʼn kortlys geplaas is) word eers finaal na
onderhoudvoering met lede van die Keurkomitee afgehandel (sien B3.6.)
3.2 Die aansoeke van ingeskrewe studente (B2) word eers in Desember oorweeg nadat
hulle finale universiteitsuitslae beskikbaar is.
3.3 SciMathUS studente word in Januarie in dieselfde kategorie as huidige leerders en ge-
matrikuleerdes (B1) oorweeg (op grond van hul nuwe akademiese meriete).
3.4 Verdere keuring van ongekeurde aansoekers vind voortdurend plaas, gebaseer op die
akademiese meriete (B1) en indien hulle op ʼn waglys (B2 en B3) was, afhangende van
kansellasies wat van die verskillende subkategorieë ontvang is en beskikbare plekke
in die program.
3.5 Keuring word finaal afgehandel binne 2 weke na aanvang van die eerste semester
klasse vir Fisioterapie I of sodra alle programmeplekke gevul is.
4.1 Na afloop van die keuringsvergaderings word aansoekers elektronies van die
keuringsuitslag in kennis gestel.
4.2 Alle aansoekers moet hul keuringsaanbod aanvaar of van die hand wys. Indien ‘n
aansoeker nie teen die responsdatum reageer nie, sal die aanbod vertsryk. Heruitreiking
van aanbiedinge sal slegs gemaak word indien daar nog plekke in die program
beskikbaar is. Die volgende bepalings is van toepassing op die relevante
keuringskategorieë:
19
4.2.2 Kategorie B2 Aansoekers wat in die eerste keuringsrondte in Desember gekeur
is of daarna vanaf ‘n waglys gekeur word, sal 3 dae hê vanaf die uitreiking van
die keuringsbriewe, om aan te dui of hulle die aanbod aanvaar al dan nie.
4.2.3 Kategorie B3 Aansoekers wat in die eerste keuringsrondte in Oktober gekeur is,
sal 3 dae hê vanaf die uitreiking van die keuringsbriewe, om aan te dui of hulle
die aanbod aanvaar al dan nie.
4.2.4 Aansoekers wat in die finale keuringsrondte in Januarie van die registrasiejaar
gekeur word, sal 2 dae hê vanaf die uitreiking van die keuringsbriewe, om aan
te dui of hulle die aanbod aanvaar al dan nie.
4.3 Die plekke van aansoekers wat nie op die aanbod reageer nie, en wat nie administratief
opgespoor kan word nie, word gekanselleer.
5.1 Aansoekers wat gedurende die eerste keuringsronde voorwaardelik gekeur is, maar wat
na hul finale matriekuitslae nie meer voldoen aan die minimum toelatingsvereistes nie,
se keuringsaanbod sal verval.
G. KEURKOMITEE
Keuring van voornemende studente word gedoen deur 'n keuringspaneel, saamgestel
deur die Strategiese Komitee oor Werwing, Keuring en Toelating (SKWKT). Die SWWKT
word deur die Dekaan van die fakulteit voorgesit. Alle besluite ten opsigte van keuring
word deur die keuringspaneel goedgekeur voordat dit met aansoekers
gekommunikeer word en besluite is finaal. Alle navrae rakende die keuringsproses
moet aan die Voorgraadse Keurings- en Toelatingskantoor in die Sentrum vir Studente
Akademiese Administrasie (Tygerberg-kampus) gerig word op
tygselections@sun.ac.za.
