Application for international applicants

A refugee or asylum seeker with a permit to study is considered an international applicant if they are neither a citizen or a permanent resident of South Africa. International applicants are welcome to apply to KwaZulu-higher Natal’s education institutions for their official degree, diploma, and certificate programs. A few colleges also provide the chance to spend a semester or a whole year studying in South Africa. International applicants are not accepted into the access programs at DUT or UKZN. Only citizens of Lesotho and Mauritius may apply to study medicine at UKZN, and applicants must do so through their respective governments. If you want to come to South Africa to study, you must have a study permit. Students enrolled in distance learning programs who study at home are exempt from this.

How to submit international applications

If you are applying for short-term study, apply directly to the institution.
If you are applying to UKZN only, apply directly to the institution.
