complete Polymer Technology I as part of their qualification.
Holders of any other equivalent South African or international qualifications may also be

suitability and/or competence for admission to the programme. Depending on the nature of
such an equivalent qualification, the completion of certain additional subjects may be required.
Proof of English proficiency may be required.
