Applicants must have graduated with a Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) Degree and have attaned a minimum grade of 60% for Design.

An application should then be submitted to the University on the prescribed NMMU form, by the date stipulated. In addition, all such applicants must prepare a portfolio of their work for submission to the Department of Architecture.

This portfolio will be assessed during the department’s BAS portfolio exam at the end of each year by the panel of examiners present at the review. Selection is then at the discretion of the Department of Architecture Admissions Committee on the basis of grade requirements having been fulfilled, the recommendations from examiners who assess the portfolio and depending on the number of places available.

The process for applicants who have achieved recognition of prior learning acknowledged by SACAP to be commensurate with NQF Level 7 and having attained relevant expertise in the stated subject area, design, is the same as applicants from other institutions, discussed above, with a portfolio required to be submitted for evaluation.
