NMMU
VISION AND MISSION
Our vision is to be recognised for our positive and empowering contribution towards
the local business and broader community. As part of a university, we are fully
committed to our engagement with Science, but at the same time we also understand
that, as a public institution, we have a special role to play within the community. We
believe that the effective integration of these two foci not only adds value to the
broader community but also adds a differentiating value to our graduates and our
faculty. While our qualifications are benchmarked against international best practice,
they are designed to reflect a sensitivity to the needs of our local communities.
Our mission is derived from the fact that the NMMU is one of the few really
comprehensive universities, not only in South Africa but in the world. This means
that we offer a wide range of business-related study opportunities that vary from
general formative programmes to programmes with a strong career orientation. This
inclusive qualification mix not only allows students a wide choice but also the
opportunity to articulate between programmes while retaining credits - all of this
within the same institution. At the same time, we offer programmes over the full
spectrum, from undergraduate certificates to doctoral degrees.

PROGRAMME OFFERING
A minimum of 10 students need to be registered for the programme to ensure the
viability thereof. Should less than 10 be accepted, the Faculty reserves the right not
to offer the programme and applicants will be informed accordingly.
3.1
GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Prospective students who MATRICULATED PRIOR TO 2008 must please contact
NMMU’s Admissions Office to determine their admission requirements.
Tel: 041 504 3911
E-mail:[email protected]
Web:www.nmmu.ac.za





Prospective students will need at least a National Senior Certificate (NSC) or
equivalent school-leaving certificate for admission to a diploma programme and
must ensure that four of their seven subjects are from the designated list for
admission to a degree programme.
If an N3 Certificate was obtained, the N3 results together with the applicant’s
Grade 12 language results are used.
Apart from this, there are also specific subject requirements for some
qualifications.
Admission to an undergraduate programme will be further determined by an
applicant’s Admission Points Score (APS). The APS system is used for allocating
point values to your seven NSC subjects (see Table A).
Applicants who do not meet the general requirements for the APS and/or the
specific requirements for admission to a module or programme may be given the
opportunity to be assessed on the Access Assessment Battery (AAB). Applicants
must have a minimum APS of 22 in order to apply for a programme at the
NMMU.
15
NMMU
 There are limits to the number of students that can be admitted to each
programme. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does NOT guarantee
acceptance and you may be required to undergo further testing and/or be
interviewed. If a programme is full, you may be denied admission even though
you meet the minimum requirements.
Qualification Minimum Statutory Entry Requirement
National Higher Certificate: Pass NSC, together with any other university
requirements.
Diploma: Pass NSC with an achievement rating of 3 (40-49%) or better in four
subjects, together with any other university requirements.
Bachelor's Degree: Pass NSC with an achievement rating of 4 (50-59%) or better in
four subjects from the designated list, together with any other university
requirements.
How to calculate your Admission Points Score (APS)
 The APS system allocates point values to the levels of achievement obtained for
your matric subjects.
 Write down your seven NSC subjects and the levels obtained. If you have 8 or
more subjects, use Life Orientation + the six best subjects (the six subjects which
have the highest level).
 Allocate points according to the table below.
 Add up the number of points you have to calculate your APS.

EXTENDED PROGRAMMES
The high failure rate of first-year students at the Faculty of Business and Economic
Sciences, particularly those from disadvantaged educational backgrounds, is
indicative of an underlying educational system not focused on the realities of our
situation. Accepting students into programmes, knowing that the probability of
success is very low, results not only in the wastage of economic resources but also in
a system which is ethically questionable.
The aim of the extended programme is to offer an integrated solution to the problems
of an under-prepared matriculant wanting to study at the Faculty of Business and
Economic Sciences. It addresses the need for academic bridging within the context
of a particular mainstream programme.
16
NMMU
PHILOSOPHY
The following are the fundamental principles underpinning the introduction of these
programmes:
 Certain students, particularly students from educationally-disadvantaged
communities, may have the potential to study successfully at a tertiary level but
are under-prepared for the particular programme.
 It would be unethical to exclude students with potential if they are under-prepared
due to reasons beyond their control. Opportunities should be developed to
facilitate access.
 Allowing a student without the necessary potential to register for a programme is
unproductive and unethical.
 Only students with potential and who are properly prepared should be accepted
into the normal mainstream programmes.
 Students who have potential, but are under-prepared, should be provided access
by:
o providing relevant pre-tertiary development (bridging); and
o integrating the bridging activities with mainstream study.
OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAMME
The following are the major objectives of these programmes:
 To provide additional access to under-prepared students with potential.
 To provide academic support for under-prepared students.
 To improve the success rate of first-year students.
 To integrate academic bridging activities with mainstream activities.
3.3
RE-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES
Once a student has been admitted to a programme and studies have commenced, it
is expected that reasonable academic progress will take place every year.
However, in reality some students do not live up to this expectation and the
University is then obliged to deal with that situation. The outcome may be that such
students would have to terminate their studies. To deal with situations like this the
University has adopted a Policy on re-admission to Undergraduate Programmes and
each faculty has formulated specific re-admission rules applicable to the programmes
offered by that faculty.
When considering a student’s re-admission status, the period of study will influence
the outcome of the decision. A minimum and maximum period of study has been
determined for each programme (please consult the General Prospectus for details).
In the event that a student has reached the end of the prescribed maximum period of
study, the student will only be readmitted under special circumstances (e.g. when the
student, with due consideration of his/her academic record, is likely to complete
his/her qualification by the end of the following year).
Since monitoring of the academic progress of students is on-going, students will
normally be alerted before re-admission is denied; conditions may also be set for
registration when it is noticed that a student’s academic performance is not
satisfactory. Conditional re-admission may include limiting the modules for the next
year and/or deregistration of modules at the end of the first semester should
specified performance requirements not have been met.
17
NMMU
In what follows, the re-admission rules for all the programmes in the Faculty are set
out in tabular format. In order to be readmitted to a programme, a student needs to
have accumulated a minimum number of credits at the end of each year of study.
The relevant number of credits for each programme is indicated in the tables with
reference to each year of study. If after a particular year of study the required number
of credits has not been achieved, the student may either be readmitted subject to
certain conditions or be refused re-admission. (It should be noted that, in order to
accommodate the difficulties associated with the transition from school to university,
students are normally not refused re-admission at the end of their first year.)
In the event of refusal a student may lodge an appeal in terms of the prescribed
procedure outlined in the General Prospectus.

Process to determine whether re-admission requirements have been met
The following process will be followed to determine whether a student has met the readmission requirements:
 At the end of each year Faculty Administration reviews students’ progress and
simultaneously identifies those students who have not met the required readmission requirements. Heads of Department, in consultation with Faculty
Administration, finalise the list of students who have not met the re-admission
requirements;
 Faculty Administration informs students accordingly via email and copies of the
letters are placed on the students’ records;
 Students who have been refused re-admission have one opportunity to apply for
enrolment in an alternative programme via the Faculty Administration Office;
 Students have the right to appeal against the decision to refuse them readmission.
Appeal procedure
The student has the right to appeal against a decision to refuse re-admission. The
decision reached by the appropriate faculty committee regarding the re-admission
appeal will be final and no further appeal will be permitted.
The process followed to apply for, consider and deal with a re-admission appeal is as
follows:
 A student must submit their appeal in writing on a prescribed re-admission appeal
form, with full motivation and supporting documentation, to the Faculty
Administration by either the last day of the re-examination period or within five (5)
working days of receiving notification of re-admission refusal, whichever date is
the latest. The Faculty Administration must forward the appeal, together with a
copy of the student’s study record and the letter in which the student was
informed that he/she was being refused re-admission, to the Committee.
 The Committee will then handle the appeal where consideration could be given to
factors such as:
(a) The student’s academic record.
(b) The appropriateness of the reasons for the refusal to readmit the student.
(c) Whether there are any special circumstances related to the student’s
unsatisfactory academic performance that should be taken into account
and which could mitigate against refusing re-admission
 A statement of the outcome of the appeal and a motivation for the decision
reached will be communicated via e-mail and placed on the student’s record by
the Faculty Administration.

EXTENDED QUALIFICATIONS
5.1
DIPLOMA: ECONOMICS (EXTENDED): FULL-TIME
(QUALIFICATION CODE: 3437 - V7)
 Minimum NSC requirements for diploma entry must be met. In exceptional cases
candidates who only meet the minimum NSC requirements for certificate
entry may be considered.
 Applicants with an APS of between 22 and 29, may be referred to write the
Access Assessment Battery before a decision is made on whether or not to admit
the applicant to the course.
 Candidates must perform satisfactorily on the NMMU Access Assessment
Battery.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
The Faculty has limited capacity, both full-time and part-time. This implies that,
should the number of applicants meeting the minimum requirements exceed
capacity, a selection procedure must be applied.
The following are the three core elements of this selection system:
 Candidates who satisfy the minimum requirements and who apply before the
official closing date receive preference. Should these applications exceed the
capacity, however, selection is done on academic grounds using the rating
system and the results of the aptitude tests.
 Late applications are only considered where capacity is available. Selection of
late applications who satisfy the minimum requirements is done on the basis of
first come, first served.
 Final acceptance is based on official Grade 12 results. Selection based on other
school results (e.g. November Grade 11 results) is provisional and subject to
official Grade 12 results.
DURATION
The qualification shall extend over four years of full-time study.

DIPLOMA: ECONOMICS: FULL-TIME
All students will be tested for English language proficiency prior to being placed in
either the Communication in English A or Communication in English B qualification.
Students placed in Communication in English B will be required to register for
Communication in English A, after passing Communication in English B.
SELECTION OF SPECIALISATION STREAMS
Students will register for a specific specialisation at the beginning of the first year of
study. In this they will be guided by their own previous learning experiences and the
career information pertaining to the five specialisation options (Management,
Economics, Logistics, Marketing and Tourism) they have received prior to registration
for the first year.
Students will remain registered for the original diploma stream of their choice if they
meet the minimum re-admission and promotional criteria as indicated above.
Students who wish to change from the specialisation for which they have registered
in the first year, will be allowed to change to any one of the five streams at the
beginning of the second year*, subject to available spaces and meeting the following
conditions:
 Meet the minimum re-admission criteria; and
 Have achieved at least 60% in the introductory module that defines the
specialisation of another stream in the second and third year of the diploma.
(*Programme co-ordinators of the relevant five diploma programmes will arrange
special career-counselling sessions during the first year of study.)

ACCOUNTING LINKED MODULES
For assessment purposes, certain modules offered by the School of Accounting are
classified as linked modules. Linked modules are linked with their relevant couplet
modules. The pass mark for modules in the School is 50%. Linked modules,
however, may be "passed on link" by earning a mark of less than 50%, provided that
the aggregate mark for the linked module and the relevant couplet module is at least
50% and provided that at least a sub-minimum mark is achieved for the linked
module examination and provided that the marks for the linked module and the
relevant couplet module have been achieved in the same calendar year (excluding
the reassessment period for couplet modules in January of the following year). A
"fail" result achieved in a linked module will be amended to "pass on link" if the
abovementioned conditions have been met.
130
NMMU
ECONOMICS LINKED MODULES
For assessment purposes the following modules offered by the Department of
Economics are classified as linked modules:
 ECO301 (Public Sector Economics)

 ECO308 (Managerial Economics)
 ECO305 (Development Economics)
 ECO306 (International Economics)
 ECO307 (Labour Economics)
 ECO309 (Economic and Development Ethics)
Within any given year, if a student has passed all except one of the prescribed linked
modules (depending on the degree programme), the mark for the failed module will
be adjusted to a pass-on-link, provided that the student has obtained a final mark of
at least 45% for the failed module, an exam mark of at least 40% for the failed
module and an average of at least 50% for all the linked modules.
This adjustment will only be considered at the end of the second semester and after
all supplementary examination assessments have been completed.
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING SCIENCES

practical assignments and projects are performed satisfactorily. A subminimum of
40% is required for the class mark, as well as a subminimum of 40% for the
examination in each module. In the case of insufficient computer facilities the
Department reserves the right to select students.

classified as linked modules. Linked modules are linked with their relevant couplet
modules. The pass mark for modules in all the Departments is 50%. Linked
modules, however, may be "passed on link" by earning a mark of less than 50%,
provided that the aggregate mark for the linked module and the relevant couplet
module is at least 50% and provided that at least a sub-minimum mark is achieved
for the linked module and provided that the marks for the linked module and the
relevant couplet module have been achieved in the same calendar year (excluding
the reassessment period for couplet modules in January of the following year). A
"fail" result achieved in a linked module will be amended to "pass on link" if the
abovementioned conditions have been met.

242
NMMU
QUALIFICATION OBJECTIVES
The qualification will be the highest professional qualification in this field available in
South Africa and will contribute to the professional competency of financial planners
which will consequently make them eligible for professional membership of the
Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa and for accreditation as a Certified
Financial Planner® (CFP®). The CFP® professional designation is internationally
recognised as the pinnacle of educational achievement in financial planning. The
Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) is a global body which owns the CFP®
mark. In South Africa the Financial Planning Institute is the gatekeeper to the
professional accreditation of CFP® .
EXAMINATIONS
Examinations will take place in the normal examination sessions at the end of each
semester. All modules are assessed on an open book basis with the exception of
Financial Planning Environment, which is a closed book examination to test the
students’ knowledge of the regulatory environment governing financial planning in
South Africa. The examinations are four hours and take place on the Summerstrand,
Port Elizabeth Campus of the University. Examinations comprise 70% of the final
mark for each module. Students are required to achieve a minimum assignment
mark of 40% in order to gain admission to an examination. The final pass mark is
50% per module.
Students must achieve a minimum of 40% in the module examinations to be eligible
for re-admission.
DURATION
Four modules are presented in the study programme. All modules must be passed in
order to receive the qualification. Students may elect to take all modules at once or
may spread the number of modules taken per year to suit their personal
schedules. It is recommended that the Case Study module be attempted last if
students elect not to do all modules in one year. Various overlap exists in the
knowledge areas comprising the modules, therefore, where possible, students who
can take all modules in one year are recommended to do so.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA): FULL-TIME/PART-TIME
(QUALIFICATION CODE: 5404 – 06/27/20/23/69)
M+3 qualification, i.e. a three-year national diploma or a university degree or an
equivalent SAQA-approved qualification.
Candidates who have not had sufficient computer experience are required to attend
introductory lectures on integrative computer training (ICT). These lectures do not
attract additional costs and aim to increase proficiency in MS Word, MS Excel and
MS PowerPoint, all of which are essential for successfully completing the MBA
programme.
There are two lectures, which will take place on Saturdays during the first
trimester. One of these lectures caters for candidates at the beginner’s level and the
other for candidates at an advanced level. The work covered in these lectures is not
examinable.
A limited number of candidates without the required M+3 qualification will be
accepted onto the programme each year, provided that they have wide business
experience and a proven “track record”. Prospective applicants in this category are
advised to make telephonic enquiries well before the end of September prior to the
intended year of enrolment.
A defining feature of the "NMMU MBA" is our focus on leadership development,
which spans throughout the programme. Our leadership development programme
forms the backbone of our MBA and infuses leadership development throughout our
MBA modules.
The NMMU MBA is specifically designed to foster strong decisive leaders armed with
business acumen and theoretical knowledge backed by a willingness to take risks
and follow their instincts in order to "make it happen".
We, at the NMMU Business School, believe that theory is nothing without practice
and that ideas cannot come alive without action. Working in small syndicate groups
with an experienced cohort of professors, lecturers, high-profile guest speakers and
fellow students, you will operate at a senior management level, steering your
management team through an ever-changing panorama of challenges that impact on
real-world business.
Our MBA programme provides an intensive environment where dynamic
professionals are grounded in the vital disciplines of business management. It
challenges you to think and act creatively. The programme is stimulating, rewarding
and enjoyable. You will learn alongside other business leaders of the future and will

The programme aims to provide insight to the dynamics and management challenges
of the business environment in which organizations operate and the first eight
modules, which are completed over four trimesters, focus on these processes.
In the remaining seven modules, the programme emphasises the principles and
workings of management processes in order to hone and develop managerial ability
and skills to full potential. Finally, to conclude the programme, candidates are
required to submit a research treatise of 20 000 words.
The content and structure of the programme are based on internationally-accredited
and accepted standards. Its specific aim is to equip South African managers with the
necessary knowledge and skills to understand and operate in a global economy, in a
world of vanishing economic and business boundaries. The Business School
ensures that it addresses the changing face of international business by continually
adapting and/or changing the curriculum to ensure that the programme remains at
the cutting edge of work relevancy.
