Brief introduction of South Africa's university education system

The types of education in South Africa are basically the same as those in Commonwealth countries, which are mainly divided into three categories, namely, moral education research based on comprehensive universities, professional application based on universities of science and engineering, and vocational education organized by public and private colleges and society at all levels. These constitute the main body of education in South Africa.

South Africa's education system is generally flexible, but it also has certain rules. For example, in a comprehensive university in South Africa, the bachelor's degree system is generally three years. After that, if you want to continue to engage in professional research or obtain a master's degree, you need to take an honorary bachelor's degree for another year before you can apply for a master's degree. The master's degree system is generally one year. The academic system of science and engineering universities is basically the same, but according to the majors, some majors have honorary bachelor's degrees, while others don't. The master's degree system in science and engineering universities is generally two years.

If high school graduates from China want to apply for a comprehensive university in South Africa, they usually need to study for one year before they can enter the department to study formal professional courses. Of course there are exceptions. For example, people who scored above 550 in the national college entrance examination in China, or adults over 23 years old, or students who graduated from high schools in Commonwealth countries can apply for admission directly after passing the examination.

Generally, universities in South Africa have language enhancement centers for international students, which are training institutions specially set up for international students applying for universities in South Africa with the main purpose of strengthening English. In addition to training English, its functions include helping freshmen understand the application and examination procedures, and advising students to choose a suitable major. Generally, newly arrived students can quickly improve their English level in the training center, get familiar with the local living environment, and better understand the schools and majors they want to apply for in the process of language training, so as to determine their future professional development direction.
