Check the Business diploma prerequisites
The Business Administration Management Diploma requires a high-school diploma or equivalent. It lists at least 55% in Math 30-1 or Math 30-2. English 30-1 is listed at 60%, while English 33 and English 30-2 appear under the 65% alternative. The official page displays English 30 in both its 60% and 65% alternatives. Confirm the applicable English 30 threshold and course equivalents with Admissions.
Use the mature-admission route correctly
Applicants aged 21 or older may use the published mature route. They need the specified English and mathematics courses or a pass on the College Entrance Assessment. English-language proficiency has its own accepted tests and minima. Meeting these published thresholds does not reserve a seat in an intake.
Confirm the Business co-op conditions
The business diploma’s co-op credit course sits between Year 1 and Year 2 and requires at least 420 hours. The page describes related full-time employment experience. Treat the option as program-specific and confirm selection, course registration and employer conditions before making a work plan.
Check Power Engineering prerequisites and co-op
Third Class Power Engineering Co-op is different. Applicants need an ABSA Fourth Class certificate, recognized Parts A and B, and a recognized 200-hour Power Lab. They must complete the four-month first term before co-op eligibility. The six-month paid placement is competitive, may require an interview and must be secured.
Decision checklist
- Match every prerequisite to one program.
- Keep business and power co-op rules separate.
- Recheck intake and international availability.
