Today is the last day prospective students can apply to study at South Africa’s largest university in 2023. Students are required to submit their application, supporting documents and pay an application fee before the application deadline.
The University of South Africa (Unisa) has reminded prospective students that Friday, 5 May 2023 is the last day they can apply for admission to study at the institution in 2023. Prospective students can apply for admission to a limited undergraduate qualification for the second semester.
Unisa opened applications for semester 2 on 17 April 2023. This gave prospective students less than one month to apply to study in the current academic year.
Applications for admission to undergraduate qualifications for semester 2 of the 2023 semester are open from 17 April to 5 May 2023. Please note that only limited undergraduate qualifications are available during this application period.
Unisa offers a wide range of undergraduate courses in a variety of fields of study. Qualifications available at Unisa include courses in Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Human Sciences, Law and Science, Engineering and Technology.
