Available Programs for Late Applications
Late applications are accepted for various undergraduate and postgraduate programs, excluding those with earlier deadlines such as MBChB, BPharm, and BRad. The availability of specific programs may vary depending on capacity and demand. Prospective students should consult the official NMU website or contact the admissions office for the most current information on available programs.
Application Process
To apply for late admission to NMU for the 2025 academic year, follow these steps:
- Online Application: All applications must be submitted online through the NMU application portal. The university does not accept walk-in applications.
- Required Documents: Prepare the following certified documents for upload:
- Identity Document: A certified copy of your ID or passport.
- Academic Records: Certified copies of your final Grade 11 results, most recent Grade 12 results, or matriculation certificate.
- Tertiary Qualifications: If applicable, certified copies of diploma or degree certificates and academic transcripts.
- Proof of Payment: International applicants must provide proof of payment of the non-refundable application fee of R500. South African applicants are not required to pay an application fee.
- Submission: Complete the online application form accurately and upload all required documents before the deadline. Incomplete applications or those submitted after the closing date may not be considered.
Important Considerations
Program Capacity: Admission to certain programs is competitive, and meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance. It’s crucial to apply early and ensure all documentation is complete.
International Applicants: International students should note that applications (excluding MBChB, BPharm, and BRad) closed on 30 September 2024. An application fee of R500 applies to international applicants.
