Similar to Education in Republic of South Africa (20)
1. Education in the Republic of South Africa -based on University of Cape Town Admissions
to Department of Psychology
I. Pre-university Years
School life in the Republic of South Africa spans thirteen years - or grades – however,
the the last three years, grade 10, 11 and grade 12 or "matric" are not mandatory. For university
entrance, a "Matriculation Endorsement" is a minimum requirement, although some universities
set their own additional verbal and quantitative tests. The matric exams are government-
administered. The qualification obtained at the end of high school is called the National Senior
Certificate.
Let’s, for a minute, go back in time to apartheid times since they effect education
nowadays. Until 1994 education was governed by the Bantu Act, many elements of which were
adopted from National Socialist (Nazi) philosophy. The white administration claimed black
Africans "should be educated for THEIR opportunities in life," which they didn’t have many at
that time and there was no place for them "above the level of certain forms of labor." Eventually
the act was blasted as “crime against humanity” and was revoked after apartheid collapsed. As a
result of the above policy only 14% of Blacks have an education of high school or higher,
compared to 40% of Indians and 65% of Whites. Present university student population
comprises roughly 50% Whites and the remaining 50% represents Blacks, Coloreds,
Indians, and Chinese.
2. III. University Requirements to Psychology Programs
The following is based mostly on the curriculum of University of Cape Town ranked in
200 best universities in the world. University of Cape Town offers several psychology programs
at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels.
All courses are taught by internationally published and recognized experts in the relevant
areas. Students are encouraged to sample as many of these areas as possible during their
undergraduate degrees, as UCT does not recognize specialization at the undergraduate level.
A. Bachelor’s of Art in Psychology
The undergraduate studies offer four principal areas of expertise:
1. Social psychology
2. Developmental psychology
3. Clinical psychology
4. Cognitive Neuropsychology.
The undergraduate courses offered by the department prepare students for entry into both
clinical and research based postgraduate programs. The undergraduate psychology degree from
UCT is internationally recognized, and many of the department's graduates have gone on to
postgraduate studies in other universities around the world. The degree doesn’t give a specialty
in specific area of psychology. It provides background for Honor’s and Master’s in psychology.
3. South African citizens or residents interested in applying to the undergraduate studies
(Bachelor’s degree) follow these steps (international students need to contact Faculty of
Humanities):
1. The high school diploma has to score at least 40 points in NSC – National Senior
Certificate (Adequate Achievement, 50 - 59 %) or better in four subjects chosen from a
list of subjects : Accounting, Agricultural Sciences, Business Studies, Dramatic Arts,
Economics, Engineering Graphics and Design, Geography, History, Consumer Studies,
Information Technology, Languages (one language of learning and teaching at a higher
education institution and two other recognized language subjects), Life Sciences,
Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, Music, Physical Sciences, Religion studies, Visual
Arts. 7 points = 80%. Anything below makes the admissions less possible; however, it
could be subject to individual consideration. The highest requirements are placed on
international students: 47 NSC points, and the lowest on South African Blacks, Colored,
Chinese, and Indians – 40 points. Again, however, The Head of the Department of
Psychology may admit students who do not satisfy the conditions above. No points
guarantee admission to any program. Points make admission probable.
2. You need to take English placement test and Quantitative placement test.
To major in Psychology at undergraduate level, a student has to pass the following courses:
First year
One of the following:
PSY1001W Psychology I
PSY1003W Psychology Foundation (Extended Degree Program students only)

B. Honors - an In-between Level in Psychology B.SOCSC. (HONS) (between BA
and MA)
Although useful in itself, the Psychology Honor’s degree provides an essential bridge between
the undergraduate program and several specialised Master’s programs in the field of psychology.
Admissions into honours – an applicant has to hold a Bachelor's degree with a Major in
Psychology. ALL candidates are carefully considered in terms of the two criteria listed below.
1. Academic performance - A bachelor's degree with a major in Psychology (or equivalent
number of modules in Psychology). As a general guideline, an upper second class pass
in third-year level Psychology is a basic requirement. In addition, the general level of
the entire academic transcript is considered, as well as the award of distinctions, honors
and bursaries. Consistency in academic performance is important.
5. 2. Equity - In line with the UCT mission of equity and excellence, the selection committee
will deliberately seek to ensure that the class will reflect the diversity of talent available
in the country.
