How to Apply CUT Matric Bridging Courses 2023

Redo your matric

A path that many students take if they fail or do not do well enough to gain entry to university is to redo their matric.
There are many institutions that specialise in helping you redo your matric, or you can go back to the school where you did your matric previously.
We do understand that a year back in school can feel like a lifetime, but it will pass you by quicker than you think!
If you REALLY don’t want to go back to school there are still many options that you can try.

Start a lower level qualification at CUT

Most people want to start with a Bachelors degree at CUT.  However, if you do not have a good enough matric certificate you may not meet the entry requirements.
One excellent way is to use lower-level qualifications as a bridging course.  Carefully look at the certificate and diploma courses that are associated with the degree you finally want to write.
The entry requirements for certificates and diplomas will be lower than the bachelors, and you can often get entry to this qualification by completing the certificate and diploma levels first.

Remember though that you usually need a matric to study higher education. So if you do not have a matric at all then this option may not be available to you.

Try a different institution from CUT

If you are wanting to work and study at the same time, and get an accredited qualification then why not try a private distance learning college?  Together We Pass has its own fully accredited college that can help!  TWP Academy is fully accredited by the ICB and QCTO, and offers courses in the following categories:

• Financial accounting
• Business management
• Office administration
• Entrepreneurship
• Public sector accounting

If you get your full qualification this can give you entry to many different qualifications, such as CIMA.  And it can even give you entrance to a degree with Boston College once you have your full diploma.
There are many different private distance learning colleges, and many of them offer study groups for free to students that study with them.  We can highly recommend Skills Academy, Home Study College and The Learning Group.

Don’t give up on  your dreams

The most important ingredient to success in life is to not give up.  Define your goals, and spend every day taking one step closer.
You do need to plan if you want to reach your goals.  Try to write down where you want to end up, and then it will be easier to work out the steps to getting there.
We know you can do it – just don’t give up on your dreams.  They can be achieved if you keep working towards them.
