To be able to register, National Senior Certificate (NSC)/IEB**/Cambridge candidates must comply with the minimum requirements for degree studies, as well as with the minimum requirements for the relevant programme.
The calculation of an Admission Point Score (APS) is based on a candidate’s achievement in any SIX recognised NSC 20-credit subjects, by using the NSC seven-point rating scale.

**Independent Examination Board (IEB)
National Senior Certificate (NSC) seven-point rating scale
National Benchmark Test (NBT)
The NBT is not compulsory for programmes, but all students are advised to write the test. The NBT is especially valuable if students meet the minimum requirements by a very narrow margin. For example, you need a level 6 (70%+) in Mathematics for access to BCom (Investment Management) and you currently have 70%. If you do not obtain 70% in the NSC examinations, your NBT results could ensure that you can still enrol for your degree of choice. Note that the Academic Literacy Test does not replace the NBT.

Student contributions
Marketing students gain hands-on experience
The Department of Marketing Management regularly collaborates with world-class brands in order to give students hands-on experience in the various modules. The final-year group worked on a project for leading tile manufacturer Italtile in the Personal Selling and Account Management Module. The collaboration concluded with a prizegiving function to reward the top performing students. Brittni van Zyl was selected to go on an all-expenses paid trip to Bologna, Italy to attend the annual “International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings” along with the Italtile management team.
HR Tuks networking event a huge success
The Human Resource Management student society, HR Tuks, hosted a networking event that enabled students to engage with major recruitment companies. The event started with interactive presentations, where speakers informed students of their experiences in the field, their roads to success, as well as providing advice for students’ future careers. It ended with an innovative session of ‘speed networking’ where students were afforded an opportunity to meet with people employed by the companies represented at the event.
#FeedAHomelessHomie Initiative in collaboration with BAdmin@Tuks
The BAdmin@Tuks student society collaborated with the #FeedAHomelessHomie initiative to feed the homeless around Hatfield and Sunnyside. On a quarterly basis the students make an effort to collect non-perishable food items and make sandwiches to give to the homeless. During the winter season an effort is also made to get shoes and blankets donated in order to keep the homeless warm.
