ENQUIRIES / APPLICATIONS
All qualifications are registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) as found on the website of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
We will gladly answer any questions that you might have with regards to what we offer or how to apply to study at Helderberg College of Higher Education. Please use the contact form below to get in touch with our admissions coordinator.
For enquiries you can also phone us on 021 850 7500 (9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Monday to Friday)
Our academic year is made up of just two semesters, with between 65 – 70 lecture days.
Registration takes place at the beginning of each semester, but if you’re registering for the first time, make sure you read the registration section of the Prospectus carefully so that you bring the right documents. All new students also get to enjoy a fun-filled orientation programme at the beginning of the semester, so you can get to know your College and peers better.
When applying, remember that we also consider students that might qualify for Recognition of Prior Learning. That means that through an RPL Portfolio Course, an English test and interview, the College will recognize that a learner has sufficiently mastered the content of parts of a course of study prior to the degree applied for, either formally or informally, and will grant formal recognition for that knowledge. Please note that a limited number of students can be admitted through this route.
Because it’s important to us that each student is immersed in the ethos of Helderberg, we do insist that every student spend one year in residence on the campus during their qualification. Remember, like any educational institution, we take academic dishonesty very seriously. Make sure you understand what plagiarism is very carefully, as well as our stance on cheating and colluding. You can find all of this explained in detail in the College Prospectus.
Your results are issued at the end of each semester, so you can see the fruits of your labour! Good luck, future student!
