Can I Study Nursing At UNISA With A Diploma?

Applicants can study nursing at the University of South Africa with a diploma in nursing. The courses are for students who want to study nursing for a diploma certificate. The qualification is offered under the Diploma in General Nursing (Bridging courses for enrolled nurses) by the Department of Health Studies. The diploma shall be obtained by completing the prescribed modules and practical work.

Applicants may only register once they have received confirmation from Unisa that their application for admission has been accepted. Unisa reserves the right to not process and/or cancel your registration if it is found that you were incorrectly admitted to a qualification.

Admission to the alternative qualification is not automatic. It will depend on whether you comply with admission requirements and if space is available. Re-registering students may register for the 2022 academic year once the registration period opens.

How To Choose A Nursing Module At Unisa 2023

Each Unisa qualification is structured in such a way that you need to pass a certain number of NQF-level credits within a certain amount of time in order to graduate.

• Co-requisite: Module A is a co-requisite for Module B. You want to register for Module B, but have not yet passed Module A. You must then register for both Modules A and B simultaneously. You may NOT cancel your registration for Module A unless Module B is also cancelled.
• Pre-requisite: If Module A is a pre-requisite for Module B, you must pass Module A before you may register for Module B.

You may not register for more than the allowed maximum number of credits/modules per academic year and/or semester: 60 credits per semester or 120 credits per academic year.

The maximum number of credits does not include supplementary and/or aegrotat examinations from a previous semester. Modules taken for non-degree / non-diploma purposes also count towards the maximum number of credits allowed.

You must take your available time into consideration when choosing your modules, as this will impact your academic performance. You need approximately

• 6 to 8 hours per week for semester modules.
• 4 to 6 hours per week for year modules.
