Bridging/Access courses are short intensive courses designed for the secondary school learner and mature students entering tertiary study. It is for students who are not confident in their preparation for university, or those who do not meet the accepted knowledge requirements. These courses only teach up to an introductory level and may assist in narrowing the gap between secondary school and university studies. We offer two Math bridging courses and one Physics bridging course for students that are weak in either of these two subject areas. Completion of either of these courses allows students who pass, access to study at UKZN provided that the delegate meets the other qualifying criteria of the University.
