The University of South Africa (UNISA) offers undergraduate programs with specific admission requirements.

Can I Study With Grade 11 At Unisa?

You can only study at UNISA if you have passed the Matric. The University of South Africa (UNISA) requires you to pass the Matric to apply.

However, there are alternative pathways for individuals with a Grade 11 qualification. Here are some of the options:

• Extended Program in Commerce (EPIC): If you have completed Grade 11 and still need a Grade 12 qualification, UNISA provides an extended program known as the Extended Program in Commerce (EPIC). This program is designed to bridge the gap between Grade 11 and Grade 12, allowing students to meet the requirements for undergraduate studies.
• Higher Certificates: Some higher certificate courses might have more lenient admission criteria. A higher certificate can provide a pathway to diploma or degree studies.
• Bridging Programs: UNISA has occasionally offered bridging programs or foundational courses for those not meeting the direct entry requirements. These are designed to equip students with the necessary skills to pursue further studies.

It’s important to note that admission requirements may vary depending on the program you’re applying for. So, checking with UNISA directly for the most up-to-date information is best.
