CAO HANDBOOK ENTRY 2017
14
The programme choice list is divided according to career directions.
Career directions are divided into three sections. The first with the
BLUE
heading contains programmes at universities and universities of
technology, the second with the
GREEN
heading contains programmes
at public TVET colleges, and the third with
ORANGE
heading contains
programmes at private colleges.
How to find a programme
Look up the field of study, for example, Sport, in the 'Index' (pages
209 to 212) and then go directly to the page/s specified. Within
each career direction, programmes are grouped according to the level
of study.
The different levels of study are:
• Shorter course study;
• NC(V) study;
• Certificate study;
• Diploma study;
• Degree study; and
• BTech/MTech study (programmes for people with a diploma or a degree).
If you are looking for postgraduate study, consult the institution for
courses that are not included in this Handbook. You will also find some
shorter courses and programmes for people who are already working as
educators or nurses. Within each category, the programmes are listed in
alphabetical order by programme name.
Each set of points requirements will be displayed alongside the corresponding exam type. Further requirements may apply for selection, therefore
meeting the minimum points does not guarantee that you will be offered a place.
N.B.: Some institutions calculate points in other ways, e.g. doubling
points for specific prerequisite subjects in certain programmes. Please check the institutions’ prospectus or website for details.
