The BSc – Extended programmes are designed for students who show potential to succeed but are academically not well prepared.
The programmes have lower entrance requirements and include an additional year of study that will enhance students’ basic knowledge.
These programmes are gateways to science and sciencebased programmes. Students admitted to the BSc – Extended programmes will attend classes at the Mamelodi Campus during their first year.
Accommodation is available close to the Mamelodi Campus at the Tuks Naledi Residence, situated in the Savannah Estate. Students who successfully complete their first year will attend lectures on the Hatfield Campus from their second academic year onwards.
The programmes have two phases. The first phase lasts for 18 months (three semesters). During this phase, students are trained and developed academically and psychologically for further studies.
Students who successfully complete the first phase will obtain credits equivalent to the first semester of the
first year of the BSc and BScAgric programmes and may register for the modules of the second semester of a preferred first year in BSc or BScAgric.
Transfer to the second year of these specific BSc or BScAgric programmes takes place in the third year of
registration.
