You will only be considered for one particular field of study. If you later decide that you would rather pursue another field of study, you have until 30 September to ask to change to another field of study within the same programme, on condition that you meet the requirements of the new field of study. Depending on the field of study, you might be subject to selection again. Inform us of the change as stipulated at (d) below.

You can make a booking to write the test and get more information at www.nbt.ac.za or by phoning 021 650 3523. Further information will be sent to you once we have received your application form.
