• Prospective candidates may, based on extensive and verifiable experience in the discipline ICT in Education, apply for recognition of prior learning, within institutional policy guidelines. Their experience should be on the level and scope of NQF-level 8 within the discipline, and should include appropriate research methodological knowledge and skills.

During the selection process, the programme coordinator will consider the career history of applicants. The programme coordinator may also request applicants to perform certain discipline related writing or practical skills tasks as means of assessing the breadth and depth of their knowledge and skills, before finalising admission decisions.
Any applicant who has an internationally acquired tertiary qualification, may be requested to submit a SAQA evaluation certificate. The programme coordinator can, in conjunction with the Head of Department, make a recommendation to the Dean to admit students to the programme if their average marks for the previous qualification are between 60% and 64%, and there are places available in the programme. In such cases, the programme coordinator will holistically assess the prior assessment results of applicants, and consider performance in research-related modules, and other discipline-related modules.
