Each course runs for 20 weeks in total
Students are tested on arrival and placed into the appropriate class according to their test results.
 
Elementary English:
If a student is placed in the elementary class then it will take him / her 1 year of English before he / she can start their chosen course at Nelson Mandela University (providing they pass both English classes and meet Nelson Mandela University’s entrance requirements for their chosen course).
