To qualify for with a Bachelor's pass status, learners are required to take seven subjects, four of which are compulsory (two languages, Life Orientation and either Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy) and three of the learner's own choice from the subjects on offer at the school. To qualify for degree studies at a University at least four of the seven subjects must be from the list of 'designated subjects' set out below and the student must have obtained an achievement rating of 4 (adequate achievement 50 - 59%) or above in these four subjects. <strong>NOTE: </strong>If you meet the minimum admission requirements this only means that you are eligible for selection; it does NOT mean that you will necessarily be accepted. <strong>The designated subject list is:</strong> Accounting                          Agricultural Science                       Business Studies Consumer Studies,               Dramatic Arts                               Engineering Graphics and Design Economics                           Geography                                   History Information Technology        Languages                                   Life Sciences Music                                  Mathematics/Mathematical Literacy Religion Studies                   Physical Science                           Visual Arts. The minimum entry requirements for admission to Rhodes University in 2018 are set out in the following table below. Note (a) the point levels that are required (b) the differences in the achievement levels that are needed for Mathematical Literacy, (c) the need for Life and/or Physical Sciences for degrees in Science or Phar-macy.</p> <h6><strong>DEANS DECISIONS</strong></h6> <ul> <li>An application is usually (and wisely) made well in advance of knowing your final results, in which case the application form requires your school to supply provisional results, based on internal examinations. If your provisional scores are very promising you may well be offered a place to study even before you take the final examinations. Please note an offer is conditional subject to you obtaining “Bachelor Degree Status” and your admissions point score (APS) being maintained or improved.</li> <li>If you do not meet the APS score of 45 points for automatic acceptance, you may still be considered for a place at the Dean’s discretion. Such places are usually offered with some extra conditions. Some places are usually offered to students with an APS score of 38 - 44 with some extra conditions (see extended studies below).  It is therefore very important to give full information when completing the application form as this is the information that the Dean will use for making a decision.</li> </ul> <h5><strong>Extended Studies Programme </strong></h5> <ul> <li>This is an alternative route to university studies at Rhodes.  A limited number of students who show potential to succeed are exposed to a carefully designed and supportive learning environment which enhances their ability to succeed at Rhodes University.</li> <li>This option is for students coming from disadvantaged backgrounds on condition that they take their degree over an extra year at University.  It is therefore very important to give full information when completing the application form as this is the information that the Dean will use in making a decision.</li> </ul> <h6><strong>NATIONAL BENCHMARK TESTS (NBT’S)</strong></h6> <ul> <li>It is recommended that all first-time university entering South African applicants write the NBT’s. If the applicant does not meet the automatic entry requirements the NBT results will be used by the Dean to make decisions on applications. These test results can also be used if a candidate does not meet the entrance requirements in their final examinations.</li> <li>There are two NBT’s. The Academic and Quantitative literacy test (AQL) consists of two components, namely academic literacy and quantitative literacy. An applicant will be awarded separate scores for each component, even though they are written as one test. Applicants to all faculties should write the AQL. The Mathematics test is based on the Mathematics Grade 12 Syllabus. Applicants who wish to enter Phar-macy, Science or Commerce should write the Mathematics Test. One score is awarded for the Mathematics Test.</li> <li>For further information about the NBT’s, dates and venues, please visit www.nbt.ac.za or 021 650 3523.</li> </ul> <p><strong>FURTHER READING: <a href="https://www.eafinder.com/za/rhodes-university-admission-points-score/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR ADMISSION POINT SCORE (APS)</a></strong></p> <h5><strong>International requirements</strong></h5> <p>40 points and above will receive a firm offer, 37 - 39 points will remain on hold until the end of September to be considered by the Dean if space is available.
