Frequently Asked Questions on UKZN bridging courses
Are these courses only for people wanting to obtain a degree?
No. There are various courses on offer. Some are aimed at helping post-matrics gain credits for degree courses. Others are aimed at helping employed people up-skill in order to get a promotion or move on to another position / field. Others are aimed at corporate groups who wish to invest in their workforce. View our courses currently on offer for more information.
I’ve just completed matric. Why should I take a short course?
If your mark for math (for example) isn’t high enough to get into the civil engineering degree course (for example), a short course could boost your final mark so that you do have the credits to get into the degree course.
What are short course certificates really worth?
All courses have been quality assessed and approved through a long process before they’re advertised. This means they’re accredited by the University so even if you’re not planning to enter a degree course, you’ll have a qualification that’s approved by this long-standing institution.
